Opinions On Pre-Built CybertronPc

Initially I was going to build my own rig, but I stumbled upon this pre-built rig. Currently, the most demanding game I play is Fallout 4, and my overall budget is $800, but cheaper is preferred. This just seems like too good of a deal to pass up. I'm used to playing every game on low settings, so I don't mind if I can't play on ultra on all games. I'm also going to invest on a 1080p monitor in the future.

I have heard rumors of Cybertron using bad and cheap parts, but they list every part and you can upgrade them from the site. I would upgrade to a 600w at least PSU, and a wireless card. I'm sorry if didn't give all the information needed, so just ask if more details are needed.

I would love and appreciate any advice and opinions you guys may have!

i looked at the parts, and i agree with the rumors, i cant find that mother board, seems pretty old, they only tell you the brand of the ram, not what it is exactly, that HDD does not have very good reviews, not sure what PSU that is, and i would never cheap out on the PSU cause it can take other parts if it dies.

Kyottee · Aug 21, 2016

For 50 dollars I could upgrade to the 650 bronze plus PSU, do you think it would be worth it? And is this even a viable option in your opinion?

Patton2121 · Aug 21, 2016

Kyottee :

I would build one, you can get way better parts and performance that way, is 600 dollars what you want to spend or can you spend more?

Kyottee · Aug 21, 2016

I am willing to go up to $800, and my main interest is the value of the build. Also thanks you so much for your responses!

Patton2121 · Aug 21, 2016

Kyottee :

ill see what kind of deals on parts i can find, and no worries, i enjoy answering these questions

Patton2121 · Aug 21, 2016

Kyottee :

Allright heres what i found. newegg has a combo sale going on right now with the perfect parts for a build at this price.

I would get this bundle ASAP- http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.3025007

I'd be afraid it would be a Decepticon and transform then attack. Best to build your own.

Kyottee · Aug 21, 2016

Oh man, that is a pretty amazing deal. My only qualms are that the CPU from the Cybertron has 8 cores, and has 16 gigs of RAM. This build isn't too flashy, which I don't mind but is nice extra to have sometimes. Also, on fan description it says ideal for exhaust fans, does that make any substantial difference?

Patton2121 · Aug 21, 2016

Kyottee :

more cores means better multitasking, two cores wont affect it much. If you want more ram i can find some if you want, and for the case, what color do you want, and ill get you flashy. As for the fans ill check on that.

Kyottee · Aug 21, 2016

Always been a fan of those red builds haha, also, I am not making a new computer till the end of this month, just doing some preliminary research so I won't make a rash decision. Hopefully that bundle deal is around till then.

Patton2121 · Aug 21, 2016

Kyottee :

Well were in luck, your Mother board is red

. theres this case, which is pretty eye catching- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146181&ignorebbr=1

Ill find some fans with red LED's and that thing will pop, ive always been a fan of white and red builds, as well as white and blue. Also if that bundle is not there by the end of the month, message me if you want help finding parts.

Patton2121 · Aug 21, 2016

Kyottee :

if you can spend like 10 dollars over your budget this case is even crazier. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811139074&ignorebbr=1&cm_re=PPSSBGDRYLXVJN-_-11-139-074-_-Product

It's also red.

Kyottee · Aug 21, 2016

Yeah, that thing with some red would be pretty sweet

. I would definitely be upgrading RAM sooner than later. Whole lot of difference for 40 bucks. Just curious, what build are you running?

Kyottee · Aug 21, 2016

And honestly I prefer the former case, unless the other has better features?

Not at all, even slightly. I wouldn't touch that thing with a 10 foot pole. If you buy this thing over building your own you will be wasting your money. While it may seem like a good idea on the outside look closer - garbage no name PSU, junk case, and outdated CPU. System vendors love to make that the FX-83XX and FX-95XX series seem like a good deal but they really aren't. In reality the FX-8300 is a very poor performer when compared to even the lowest end Intel CPU. The i5-6500 will run circles around that thing. This would be a better bang for your buck:

$50 more but a far wiser use of $700 than that piece of junk will be.

He is referring to the bundle i showed him not the pre built cyber tron thing by the way.

Kyottee · Aug 21, 2016

That build looks nice, would prefer to have the 16 gigs of RAM, and I would need an OS. Which would be an extra 100 bucks unfortunately.

Patton2121 · Aug 21, 2016

Patton2121 :

Even still if you're thinking of buying AMD FX right now don't. The FX is a four year old platform on a nearly 10 year old motherboard and on $700 there's just no point in buying it. The i5-6500 is a much better CPU than the FX-8300 and FX-6300. The i5 may seem like more but in reality it really isn't when you put everything together.

Patton2121 · Aug 21, 2016

g-unit1111 :

They may be old CPU's however, they still perform very well on games, you can easily max games like GTA V or dying light.

Kyottee · Aug 21, 2016

The AMD is really that bad? I don't want to spend a heap of money, but I also want quality haha. But I am willing to spend more money, instead of wasting less of it.

Patton2121 · Aug 21, 2016

Kyottee :

If you can spend more than 800, i would go with intel any day.

g-unit1111 · Aug 21, 2016

Kyottee :

Yeah there's absolutely no point in buying one right now. The FX-8XXX and FX-6XXX are nearly four years old now. They won't compete in the same league as the current generation Intels. AMD supposedly has a new platform coming this year but I'm not going to say it's going to be any better than the current generation Intel CPUs. If you don't want to spend a lot but want better quality then go for a current generation i5, it will be a million times better. I would say try something like this if you're willing to go up to $800:

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

CPU: Intel Core i5-6500 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor ($198.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H110M-A Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard ($53.99 @ SuperBiiz)

I can, I just don't want to spend a ton of money. If it's worth it I will.
