CyberPowerPC Warrior Gaming PC - Intel Core i7-11700F, Nvidia RTX 3070 8GB, 16GB RAM, 1TB NVMe SSD, 650W 80+ PSU, Wi-Fi, Windows 11, Amethyst RGB

Bought this PC in July of 2018 and finally decided to write a review.I needed a upgrade overall from my old gaming PC I bought years ago in PC world (never making that mistake again). I knew I would need good specs to enjoy games that my friends are playing. This PC now runs Rainbow Six: Siege at 200+ Frames per Second on Ultra settings. I also managed to try out the new Battlefield V closed alpha and beta tests and this rig powered through the game with no issues!The price is fair in my opinion. I wanted to buy a 1080 for ages before I got this rig and I couldn't as the prices for those GPUs was incredibly high due to crypto-currency mining. I payed just under £1400 for this and I am really satisfied with the specs. The SSD that has windows on it by default just makes is so fast and reliable. Eventually I had to get a extra SSD because I was running out of space and went with a SAMSUNG EVO 500GB to have games load up fast.From what I remember, the delivery took around two whole weeks for me. (I didn't have prime back then!) and I waited impatiently haha. When it eventually arrived it was nicely packaged. The inside of the PC had good air bags that protected the components within. The case is VERY attractive with transparent plastic side panel and a LED strip that illuminates the floor with a red glow.My only negative is that the fan at the back of the tower can be loud sometimes.Overall, I would really recommend getting this rig from the guys at Cyberpower! It looks great and works like a dream. Happy Gaming!- Bartozy

Bought Hello Neighbor for my kids at Christmas on Steam so they could play it on my laptop. This is what inadvertently alerted me to the ridiculously good Steam Sales. A few months down the line and suddenly I found that I had somehow accidentally amassed a huge Steam game Library ... And just like that, consoles were ancient history. My laptop was permanently hi jacked by my kids, it's hard drive was completely filled up with games, and it was exposing itself to very high temperatures that it's fan sounded very, very angry about on a continuous basis. Even on the lowest of low game settings and with an additional USB cooling fan underneath it. So I realised I had to get a gaming PC; Firstly, to get my laptop back. And secondly, because it really is the way forward these days.So I did the usual Dad thing, started with a £700 budget before research, and then ended up scratching my head looking at £3000 PC's after research, before coming to the conclusion that as with all things, you have to find the practical balance point for your needs and affordability. With Steam, you can rest assured games will be a fraction of the cost of consoles, and with even a £700 PC, you can easily smash the power of the XBox One X, and have all the extra functionality of a PC to boot. So why buy both when one does it all better?After a lot of looking around different sites, this PC was the balance point for me.Nvidia GTX 1080 8GB, 7th Gen i7, 16GB DDR4 RAM, 2GB HD and 240GB SSD, 600W PSU, Win 10 and WiFi. Plus it comes in very handsome functional casing. This is rare.VR ready and more than enough to blitz any modern AAA game on Ultra settings and I'd strongly wager would have considerably more power than even the unreleased PS5 over the coming years, sorting my kids, and my wallet, for many years to come when it comes to gaming, freeing me from updating consoles and seeing very expensively priced games go redundant to old hardware as always seems to be the case. With an upgraded PC, there's no redundancy, your old games only ever look better than ever.If I could find fault, it's that the RAM installed was 2 x 8GB sticks rather than 1x16GB stick, meaning it will be more expensive if I need to upgrade to 32GB RAM in the future, and that the motherboard is an H110 chipset. But this isn't a fault as such if you're talking performance, it just means future upgrading will be more expensive. But that then, that reduces your current price ... so like I said, you need to find your own balance of need and affordability with gaming PC's. And this for me was the ONLY package that did just that. And I looked at a lot of sites and packages. I found only one of the same spec cheaper ... but it's casing looked like Sloth from The Goonies and was almost twice the width of conventional casing. Trust me, this CyberpowerPC is very good value for the performance you are getting. And it looks cool.Given I have to re-download my Steam library, I've only currently tested F1 2017 on the highest possible graphical settings so far. And it performs perfectly without hitch. I didn't even know there was supposed to be spray and fog from the cars in front in the wet! It adds so much. My laptop on low settings just cut all of that out completely. You can see a video comparison on You Tube of the difference if you're interested between the difference between low and ultra settings.Also worth mentioning, The PC really is whisper quite, or better still, barely a quite whisper. Even playing games on Ultra settings. My old laptop sounded and felt like it was about to explode playing on just the lowest settings. And, putting your hand by the fan outlets, where as you feel slightly warmer air coming from the PC fan, you could cook an egg by my laptops fan ...And what of CyberpowerPC as a brand? Would I recommend them?Yes.I've never come across them before, and I'd never recommend brand loyalty by default, as ironically, this is the only way to keep a brand loyal to it's consumers.But, the PC was well packaged, with lots of protective air wraps inside the PC to protect all its internal parts during transit. The documentation for all the internal hardware parts along with the windows 10 recovery disc was all included in a zip bag. Even though I didn't, an email as sent with numbers to ring if you have problems with your new PC in any way.And in the research I did, and in all the different price brackets for performance I considered, they offered good packages in all. So whatever your budget, I'd strongly recommend looking up their offerings on Amazon. Of course shop around too on lots of other sites as well to gauge the current market, you'd be mad not too, but I do strongly recommend at the very least using them as a base reference for comparison on what you can expect to get on price, performance, and looks. And that's a good balance that I associate with their brand in a marketplace with HUGE variance. This is a good thing. I hope they maintain that balance for the consumer as their brand no doubt grows. After all, that balance is the only plus that gaming consoles have over PC's.

I received my desktop on the 28/06/2019. I powered on the computer and it took a while before it got to the OS Loading screen (Approximately 30+ Seconds) , which I thought it was weird so I looked into the bios setting and all was fine, I looked over the Sata Drives and nothing seems amiss, after exiting the bios it did end up loading onto Windows.Unfortunatly the next day, after powering on the computer I was greeted with the black screen to select bios ect, it refused to load onto Windows and gave me the message of 'CHECKING MEDIA PRESENCE... MEDIA PRESENT... START PXE OVE IPV4' then it went to 'IPV6' eventually it gave up and went into another screen into bios settings.Unfortunately I'm not very tech savvy when it comes to the components inside the computer, so I'm pretty reluctant to touch anything inside of it, in case I might break something. And that's my warranty down the drain.After checking the bios I noticed the Sata Drives were missing on the booting list. Initially the Sata for my Secondary Hard Drive cannot be found. Which was strange since it was working previously. I tried restarting the computer several times and nothing happened, same issue. So I turned to looking for a solution online and saw that it could have been the cables that were loose upon shipment. I opened the case and made sure all the cables were fine and connected. All seems to be in place and yet no results.This is when I did a trial and error with the cables by removing the Secondary hard drive, the computer instantly booted onto Windows (Less than 5 seconds) which was a surprise. I then proceed to find out if it was the power cable for the Sata Drive, intitally i thought it was, until I removed everything including the Ata Sata Cable. After countless of playing around with the wiring and using the secondary wires provided in the case, I thought it was one of the Sata power cables that were faulty. Then 2-3 hours have passed and I almost gave up, until I realised that the problem was the Serial Ata Sata Cables, after pulling out the sata and pluging it out of the case, everything works! As soon as I placed them back in, nothing worked.So my conclusion was to re-adjust the cables because the Ata Sata Cables are flimsy!I noticed the cables are rearranged extremely badly, so when the cover of the case presses against all the wires, it caused some connection problems to the motherboard. And that's when the extremely long loading time to Windows OS appears and the Message of CHECKING MEDIA PRESENCE starts. So, after finding a way to readjust the Ata Sata Cables around so it fits inside the case better, I'll need to purchase some Ata Sata Cables, because who knows, the cables might suddenly stop working all of a sudden while I'm in the middle of work.To CyberPowerPC, please, in future, double check the arrangement of the wires or use better ones. This was not fun to do, Thank you.05/07/2019 - Things were running and I had no problems since I bought the new Sata cables. But unfortunately, there are times where the SSD (with windows boot manager) could not be detected at all. Even when cheking the BIOS it doesn't seem like it was detected. Unplugging the Sata Cable and plugging it back in didn't work, but unplugging the internal hard drive (Seagate that came with it) it boots up the SSD? I tried looking for a solution but nothing I found seems to work. It's very tempremental when it comes to booting up, occasionally it'll fail to boot to windows/detect SSD. Otherwise it would have been the best desktop.
