Why is this almost $800 less expensive than the Origin Chronos with identical specs and why shouldn't I buy this right now
>>342833638
Careful with cyberpower anon. From my experience they cheap out on power supplies
>>342833638
because you could be buying a console and saving yourself the trouble
>>342833756
This.
My first gaming PC was cyberpower and the Power supply and case were chinese shit tier.
>>342833638
>2TB optical
The disc drive has 2TB of storage? Impressive.
>>342833756
If they let you "pick your own parts", then wouldn't that mean they only cheap out if you do? The make and model are both right there for you to see. You can look them up and see which ones aren't shit.
>>342833638
>i7 for gaming
>256 gb ssd
>>342834060
optical drive means disk-centric storage
Just buy the parts separately and build it yourself
or the revolt 2 with identical specs for $1500k
I just don't like white cases ;_;
>>342834176
DX12 & Vulkan can justify an i7
What's wrong with the SSD? You would use it for OS and a couple games you regularly play, that also benefit from a faster drive.
>>342833638
you would really have a case that says cyberpower on your viewable place of living.
You know when you invite some new women to your place and they casually scan the place-
Well, they are looking for words like Cybermegapower9999zonedudebro,,,
You can download whole dictionary on www.wymnwikia.com
>>342834281
You could just buy all the components separate, save money, and have fun assembling it and having something you can call your own.

>$1500k

Holy moly anon what a rip off
>>342834550
This is the other option for no extra money
I don't know anything about cyberpower and I'm by no means a fanboy or shill, but I'm having a hard time finding a good reason not to buy this thing

Cyberpower really cuts corners in a few places it really shouldn't. They tend to use shitty power supplies from what I can tell. You may as well save a little money OP and just build your own rig. You'll get exactly what you want and it'll be cheaper in the long run. Pic related cost me under $1000, well before I went ahead and got two new monitors to go with it. But the rig itself was only $850 or so.
>>342834991
Newegg doesn't even have the best of prices most of the time though?
>>342834843
>The USB 2.0 standard offers a theoretical maximum signaling rate of 480 megabits per second, while USB 3.0 defines a maximum rate of 5 gigabits per second.
don't fall for the prebuilt meme, you're getting screwed somewhere. You'll either pay out the ass for "premium" features that are actually standard or you'll just not get them at all. Built your own and get the MOBO you really want
>>342833756
>>342835082
How do they use shitty power supplys?
See
>>342834126
>>342835167
Looked again and the stock MOBO on this Zeus seems like it has decent specs
>>342835082
For an extra $50, it's upgradeable to an EVGA 850 Watt. I'm assuming it's worth it.
I really don't have the time to learn how to build my own PC, and if for a hundred dollars extra I can just pick my own parts, I think that's worth it
>>342835515
>I don't have the time to learn
You can literally just read the manuals while watching a video tutorial for your first time. It's braindead fucking easy, will get you better parts for cheaper, and will let you know if any individual part you've purchased has a bad reputation allowing for a better total configuration.
>>342835515
The EVGA one is probably pretty good. I have a similar EVGA in my rig. As for learning how to build a PC, it really is very simple. The IT industry is lazy. Like really lazy. They make it literally impossible for you to fuck it up, the biggest pain in the ass, for me anyway is installing the heatsink, and that's because I'm convinced Cooler Master wants us to bleed onto our new computers.
>>342835687
>implying one couldn't simply research each part in a pre-built before buying it
>>342835787
At that point you've put enough effort in already, you may as well build it. Anyway do what you want OP. It's your money.
>>342835840
Thanks for your opinion anon
I think I'm gonna go ahead with this Zeus box thing
Will report back if it explodes
>>342835787
At which point you're investing as much effort into a prebuilt as you would just building your own. Except still spending a few extra hundred dollars for absolutely zero fucking reason.
>>342836005
>if you build your own, you can research the parts AND research how to put them all together and put them all together
>if you buy a prebuilt you can research the parts AND click which ones you want AND click "buy now"
>its the SAME AMOUNT OF WORK derp derp
>>342835515
Assembling your own PC isn't too difficult. You just gonna stick the CPU, CPU Cooler, RAM and GPU into the motherboard, those are the big parts. The hard part is cable management, and you could just be messy about it.
The part where you can screw up big time is attaching CPU to the motherboard. You don't want to bend any pins, but as long as you are dead careful you should be okay.
>Pre-builts
>>342837058
You don't have to research how to put them together, jesus fucking christ. 8 pins go with 8 pins, RAM obviously ONLY fits in the DIMM slots, GPUs obviously only fit in the fucking PCIE x16/x8 slots. There's no "researching" how to assemble something so hilariously fucking simple.
My first build literally took me an hour. I don't think an hour (which was actually engaging and fun) is worth a couple of hundred dollars. You can't possibly be that fucking stupid AND lazy.
My only experience with prebuiltd are a cyberpower whatever I forgot the model, over half the components shit out in a year and they wouldn't honor the warranty.
I also have a Alienware alpha that I got used pretty cheap that I use as an under the TV machine, which still works great and I really like.
>>342837320
For someone who has no idea where to start, it would obviously take more than a little reading to figure out how to do it
And just because you can't afford $29 to have somebody else custom-cut all your cable lengths and route and hide them professionally doesn't mean it's a waste of money
>just ordered the ROG Swift
>see this thread
>glorious
for a pre-built, it isn't bad. dont make that mistake though, anon. just build your own. I had a really expensive pre-built once and I thought I got a good deal because the stock prices roughly matched the prebuilt. the only thing is i couldnt find the motherboard or psu specs. turned out they were both shit, and the motherboard only had one pci slot
>>342837540
>29 dollars
Try a few hundred cheaper building your own vs a prebuilt POS.
Also, why spend 30 dollars for cable routing when a whole roll of black velcro costs like 3 dollars?
>tfw i could go into a hardware store, pick all my components chinese take away style at decent prices
>pay $5 to ask the guy to build it for me
>pre-built
You can't make this up.
Even if you have to pay slightly more, never fucking go pre-built.
Fucking never ever not once don't do it nigga. Even just buy the parts and pay someone to put them together.
>>342834669
just kill them LEDs and you are golden..
Or, do it as I do, fuck the case, let HW run free.
OP here
Based on what you guys said, I decided to hold off on buying this for now
Cyberpower has mixed reviews online, but nothing that would immediately prevent me from trusting them
I went on Newegg and put together an identical system (with a different case obvi) for about $1190
The only difference I could see was that cyberpower doesn't list a manufacturer for their 1070 card, which was a little concerning to me
The cheapest one newegg has is listed at $399 and made by EVGA, but they're totally out of stock on all pascal cards
So it looks like it'll cost an extra $154 to build my own. But a prebuilt comes with a warranty + they have 1070s in stock
Still leaning toward the pre-built but will keep reading. Thx for replies
>>342838402
Check other sites. Especially ones that ship locally. When I built mine in Canada, only a single part of my build came from Newegg. The rest was from Amazon or NCIX.
>>342838402
an extra $154 to buy a prebuilt************
>>342838402
Your parts come with warranty too. Some even have long ass warranties that last 5 years or so.
>>342838402
Do you really need that 1070 unless you're going 1440p?
Just wait for 970/980 price drops.
>>342834179
You've been misinformed, Anon.
>>342838738
This. Most parts come with 3-7 year warranties. It's not some "extended plan coverage" bullshit like prebuilt sites or Best Buy. You just get it.
>>342838762
Already have a 21:9 1440p monitor
>>342834281
In the fucking millions?
>>342833638
>Liquid cooled
>2016
Literally no point unless you're going for 5ghz overclocks. Air is also much safer for the average user who doesn't know what the fuck hes doing.
You could probably build the same spec cpu/gpu build with better case/psu/mobo for $1000-1100. Micro ATX is the way forward imo, I'm sick of HUEG cases.
>>342838762
>2016
>Buying 970/980 when the 480 is 3 days away
>Shit DX12 support
>Shit VR performance
>No more driver support
>Gimped vram in the 970s case
I have a 980 myself but the difference is I bought it when it launched and was the most powerful GPU out there for the Witcher 3 launch. No one should buy/recommend a 970/980 now since there is much better options out there.
>>342839265

Meanwhile, high-end 700 series GPUs still run all modern games at 1080p/60, and consoles ensure that this will continue for some years. Exactly what is the point of upgrading to the 900 or 1000 series at this resolution?There isn't one.
>>342840014
700 series is trash now. Only one that is decent is 780/780ti, but even they got left in the dust by the competitions 290/290x
>>342840716
Point is, if you own a 780/780ti already, you have absolutely no reason to actually upgrade unless you're going for 1440p/144hz or above. I've had my GTX 780 TI since launch, and I've played every major game since with maxed out settings at 60 fps, even downsampling in some. The console stagnation is real.

Why would that be? Especially since most use cheaper components.
can we talk about $3200 for a 4th gen CPU and a SINGLE 1080
>>342843689
At least it ain't a Mac.
>>342837058
>research how to put them all together and put them all together
If you're investing in a high quality gaming PC, that implies you'll probably spend at least 200+ hours playing video games on it. Use 3 of those hours to figure out how to build your own computer. It's not that hard, and that's coming from a retard that failed a US driving test.
