Reddit mentions of CYBERPOWERPC Gamer Master GMA1394A Gaming PC (AMD Ryzen 7 2700 3.2GHz, 16GB DDR4, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 8GB, 240GB SSD, 2TB HDD, 802.11AC WiFi, Win 10 Home)

Very similar deal to what was recently posted from CYBERPOWER on Amazon. You give up multicolor RGB, water cooling, and a 2TB HDD. You get $50 off, single color RGB, 1TB HDD, and a faster CPU (3.2GHz v 3.7GHz)

Hey there, Kramjam. I am in the midst of the same process looking in a similar price range. I am sick of always being disappointed in my gaming experience. I have used budget(ish) laptops and am now switching over to pre-built desktops for some true gaming with room to easily grow as gaming evolves. I thought it'd be helpful to write out my top choices.

I have found some good deals and have listed them. I am debating waiting until after Thanksgiving to see if there are any better offers. I have to decide soon, I guess!

This HP Omen 7700 GTX NVIDIA 1070. $1055.55 on Amazon now. It's the lower end of my spectrum but I think a great value. I am looking at 1080 and 8700 ideally but this is a mighty fine desktop and a huge jump for me. The brand name is helpful here too. Don't know about wifi connect.

I am leaning towards the iBUYPOWER 8700k GTX 1070 Ti. $1,399 Amazon. Great reviews, good value, and nice add-ons. I don't need a lighting remote but that's neat to have. Liquid cooling is also pretty cool (ha!). Good specs, good price, nice accessories, can't complain.

ABS 8700 GTX 1080. $1349.99 Newegg. This almost made it an easy search for me. GTX 1080 plus a great price. My biggest concern is reliability. A few bad reviews on Newegg scared me off and I think this is even their in-house brand. The customer service seems good enough from some research but I would rather not have any problems at all. If you want to roll the dice, I think this is the best value you can find. They also do a 1060 and 1070 for lower prices as you should see in the link. This is it's bigger, badder brother running 1080Ti and 8700k at $1,749.99.

​

cyberpowerpc AMD Ryzen 2700 but NVIDIA RTX 2070. $1,449 Amazon. I having been leaning Intel so not a fan of AMD. This system is 3.2 GHz 8 core whereas the Intel 7700, like in the HP Omen, is 3.6 GHz 6 core. But an RTX 2070 in a prebuild desktop for only $1,449 is ridiculous from my research. It's overkill for what I am using now and I would like a better processor but I thought I would put it here for you.

cyberpowerpc Intel 8700k NVIDIA GTC 1070 Ti. $1,549 Amazon. Same stats as the iBuypower but for $150 more. I guess I like the design more than the i.b.p. but I'd rather save the $150. Maybe post-Thanksgiving will shake this price down??

SKyTech 8700k GTX 1080. $1,549.99. 1070 Ti is $1,499.99. Amazon. Looks great in terms of specs, reviews, even looks and add-ons. I would choose this over the cyberpowerpc above. Has some more customizable options too. But based on our budget, I think you would be better suited for the HP Omen or the iBuypower.

Tl;DR

The HP Omen and iBUYPOWER options listed are my two top choices but all of these made it to my final list. I think another $350 for a better processor, slightly better graphics, and better add-ons makes the iBUYPOWER worth it. Even if the name is terrible...

I hope this helps! Please share any of your insights as well.


Edit: I included the differences in specs most important to me. All have at least 240 GB SSD and some have 2 instead of 1 TB of HDD. All of 16 GB of memory and Windows 10.

Not sure why they'd throw a 9900K with a 2070... i mean the price isnt God awful... but if you want to save some money I'd go with THIS ONE... quite a bit cheaper and still has a 2070... will fare just fine for the greater majority of things.

​

Edit: the one thing that I'd be careful with on this one is the RAM that it comes with... seems to come with 2400mhz ram... not sure how much you know about RYZEN but RAM speed matters a lot more for them compared to Intel... If you go for this computer... I'd probably take the ram out and sell it and throw in something like this. The processor will run MUCH better with that ram and youll probably only have to spend about $40-$50 more after you sell the ram that the computer comes with

It's another builder, but this is probably what he was talking about.

Hey hey, just coming back to ask you a question... What do you think of this setup?

It is currently a promotion for black friday on amazon, and I think it would be better for the price.
The price established above for the parts we picked in this thread seems to be achievable via a couple of rebate coupons, which I don't have access to since I am ordering this computer from Central America, hence the price actually goes around 1200.

So: 1200 for the one we've built so far, or, 1200 for the one on the amazon link above... which would be best?

Thank you so much for reading, I appreciate your help, you've been awesome and kind to give some of your time to help someone out, I appreciate it.

I don’t know much about specs but it’s a pretty good gaming laptop 8gb ram etc but I just got this pc —> https://www.amazon.com/CYBERPOWERPC-Master-GMA1394A-Gaming-GeForce/dp/B07GG62872/ref=mp_s_a_1_fkmr2_1?keywords=CyberPowerPC+-+Gaming+Desktop+-+AMD+Ryzen+7+2700X+-+16GB+Memory+-+NVIDIA+RTX+2070+8GB+-+2TB+HDD+%2B+240GB+SSD&qid=1563598470&s=gateway&sr=8-1-fkmr2



I would like to play zero cailber, gorn, blade and sorcery,



Feel cool playing games


The fact that it just doesn’t work I’ve probably watched over 200 videos on tutorials that all didn’t work I’m looking for something that doesn’t have problems setting up




At least 4000$



The pc I just got 8

I may have to use the thing for a few months, maybe save up for a bit and then swap to a better monitor. I want to aim for something like 144hz, 1440p, IPS, G-Sync. I think I may be looking at the 500-600 range for something like that. In theory I could return the monitor to cut 280 off the price but I really don't have the extra cash laying around right now, and I saw nothing in the 250-300 range that had all those. I could have missed it, of course. Honestly it might have been better to just keep using my old 60hz monitor, I don't really have any games I currently play that need a new monitor until Borderlands 3 comes out but. I'm not even sure I need that powerful a monitor, I don't play PvP games. I just know that my old one had serious problems with anything even remotely dark, so much so that I could be playing cave or night areas practically blind and no setting on the monitor ever seemed to help.

I bought a new premade with the Prime Day sale, so it wasn't just a GPU upgrade. This one, in case you would like a reference: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GG62872/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Or this.

Both have extremely similar performance but the one from Amazon is liquid cooled, what it really comes down to though, is whatever you think looks better.

this is a much better deal in my opinion

If you’re looking at that other PC for $1,000, you should check this one out that’s $1,200. For $200 more, you get a slightly worse CPU, but insanely better GPU and twice the amount of storage for both the SSD and HDD. The difference between the 1060 3GB and 2070 8GB GPUs alone is ~$300+. You don’t really want a GPU with 3GB of VRAM nowadays. I understand if this is out of your budget range, but it presents a much better value.

This is the one I went with

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GG62872/ref=s9_acsd_bw_wf_a_BTSmainw_mdl?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=merchandised-search-4&pf_rd_r=TMNR58W597MPNSKX1PSP&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=a34ff480-29b2-45a3-b23a-ba109e23a881&pf_rd_i=15201447011

How about $1500 on a PC from Amazon?

Should I buy a prebuilt? And if so, how is Cyberpower vs iBuyPower? I know I want a 2070 and a 2700 but I am honestly unsure if I should build my own. I am looking at getting one of these two:

CyberPower PC

iBuyPower

​

I want to know if their build quality is good and which one does a better job at proving actual support (I remember LTT did a video about the different prebuilt companies but I am more concerned in prompt service, like how they were able to resolve your actual hardware problems, i.e. bad fan or bad gpu etc.)

​

I looked similar stuff/same stuff (the things I could find closest to) for the iBuyPower build on PCPartPicker and it basically came to about 100 bucks cheaper, without the OS and that is still me having to put everything together. I honestly don't mind building a PC but the idea of saving all my time and just spending a little more money is very very alluring. Any suggestions? Am I being a fool by even thinking about doing this, I know it's not a very PCMR thing to buy prebuilts but the price seems right and the idea of building it sounds like it isn't worth it just to save like 100-200 bucks.

> Does anybody know how to prevent Windows defender from using 40% of my ram at all times? I have tried many things, from disabling realtime scan, changing the event schedule, scanning for threats, and excluding itself from its searches, all the way to trying to disable it in regedit, and nothing has worked. Disabling it will totally prevent it from using my cpu, but it will always use 40ish percent of my ram no matter what. Does anybody know how to fix this, or just end the whole task completely? If the latter, could somebody suggest and alternative threat protection that has a smaller footprint?

> So I'm looking to build a work pc for uni next year and I'm gonna be using fairly taxing programs (rhino, revit, twinmotion, etc,). I have an idea of what I'm gonna need specs wise, but I kinda wanna go AMD for the CPU and maybe GPU, and I was wondering if the Vega 64 is still worth it considering it's age. I was only going to go for a 1080 if I went Nvidia, just for budget reasons. So I was wondering what would be more appropriate for what I need, or if I should go for something completely different.

> So I recently got an Arokh Y-2 mouse, and I'm trying to rebind one of the buttons on it to work like the Alt keys on my keyboard. The problem is that when I use the software for it to Alt in one of the options, it instead defines it as Alt+ (i.e. it's looking for a 2nd button press to go with the Alt) which kinda works but then won't "let go" of Alt, essentially acting as if I'm still holding Alt down even though I've let go of the button; but if I use a different part of the menu given to push one of the buttons on the keyboard as the button I want, it doesn't work at all.
