Everyone usually says Prebuilt pc's are bad for the price but I thought this was a VERY good price for being built already. I'd love to hear your thoughts! :)

I bought it from cyberpowerpc on black friday and payed $1089 for it. I was going to build a pc on my own but this seemed like a better price than I was going to pay and it included a monitor.

Also, any suggestions on a new main monitor that's freesync and 1080p? (Other one will be a second monitor for non gaming as it has a very weird smell when gaming)
Anything else I should change/upgrade?

excellent.
really good choice swapping out the power supply.

I recommend this 1440p 27" monitor, though it is pricey. I have a good amount of knowledge about this monitor in particular from research, but I own Nvidia so I don't know many other freesync monitors. Did most of my research on G-Sync stuff.

Gotta love a good deal. I got this machine for $163 after tax the other day at staples.

With a 390X probably not, but that was definitely a good call swapping out Cyberpower's junk Enhance made power supply with a much better unit.

I personally would not buy Cyberpower because I've heard tons of horror stories, and you can get much better if you build it yourself but if you can't build it yourself, with that GPU that's not a bad price.

Oops, pressed the wrong button ( new to toms hardware and was thinking reply)

Anyways, I new from the beginning that I'd need to replace and all the cabling is up to my standards.

That's what I was thinking, the build i was planning on had a 390 but no monitor and was $1000 so I feel like I made out pretty good with this.

It's pricey but I'm definitely bookmarking it for later since its freesync + 1440p. Thank you!

That's a pretty nice pc for browsing/ streaming, NICE!
