You can start from here,

The stock PC has a great gaming CPU in it (i5-7600K) but a bit weak GPU (GTX 1050). Since you can customize the PC build according to your needs, feel free to switch out the GPU for better one (e.g RX 480 or GTX 1060), if you want to game on high/ultra settings @ 1080p.

Nope don't buy that!
It's comes with the cheapest PSU and memory they can have made for them that is the 2 biggest problems with cyberjunk.
First time I have seen a cyberjunk board that again would be using the cheapest crap they could have made for them.
Also no operating system just a formatted hard drive.
You should be better off with this.

Since CyberPowerPC offers full customization of PC, OP can switch out the crappy MoBo with any other in the included list. E.g MSI Z270 SLI PLUS that costs extra $4.
Dell desktops are also good ones to go for. Though, with Dell, it's difficult to replace some components (e.g PSU) since those have different manufacturing than on those that are commonly available, binding you to use only Dell supplied components.

That's not much better. I'm of the belief that there are no good prebuilts out there, especially in the $1000 - $1500 range. After all the Cyberpower horror stories I've seen on here, I wouldn't touch them with a 10 foot pole. Cyberpower is one of the worst you could consider, but Dell's not really that much better. Plus with both you get *TONS* of bloatware. The Dells include so much bloatware / adware that the OS is nearly unusable until you wipe it and format with a clean install. You should build it yourself. Or at the very least have someone build it for you. This would be a much better purchase for $1K IMO:

Even with the OS the Intel build comes out to the same price as the Cyberpower, but with a far better PSU.
