Hey guys, I'm helping a buddy on a budget upgrade to a newer system. I have not heard of CyberPower before, but as far as specs, this looks like a great deal: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883229076 . For those that would rather just get to the point and not click: General Spec Brand CyberpowerPC Model Gamer Infinity 3310 Recommended Usage Gaming Processor Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200(2.33GHz) Processor Main Features 64 bit Quad-Core Processor Cache Per Processor 4MB L2 Cache Memory 4GB (2x2GB) DDR2 800 Hard Drive 500GB SATA-II 3.0Gb/s 7200RPM HDD Optical Drive 1 20X DVD±R/±RW Dual Layer Drive Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 9500GT 1GB PCI-Express Graphics Card Audio Realtek ALC662 Ethernet 10/100 Mbps LAN Power Supply 400W Keyboard Logitech Deluxe 104 PS/2 Keyboard Mouse Logitech Optical Wheel PS/2 Mouse Operating System Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit Special Features Sigma Orca Gaming Case Motherboard Chipset Intel G31 CPU CPU Type Core 2 Quad Installed Qty 1 CPU FSB 1333MHz CPU Speed Q8200(2.33GHz) L2 Cache Per CPU 4MB CPU Socket Type LGA 775 CPU Main Features 64 bit Quad-Core Processor Graphics GPU/VPU Type NVIDIA GeForce 9500 GT Graphics Interface PCI Express x16 Memory Memory Capacity 4GB DDR2 Memory Speed DDR2 800 Form Factor DIMM 240-pin Memory Spec 2GB x 2 Memory Slots (Available/Total) 0/2 Hard Drive HD Capacity 500GB HD Interface SATA II HD RPM 7200rpm Optical Drive Optical Drive Type DVD±RW Optical Drive Spec 20X DVD±R/±RW Dual Layer Drive Audio Audio Chipset Realtek ALC662 Communications LAN Chipset Integrated LAN Speed 10/100Mbps Front Panel Ports Front USB 2 Back Panel Ports PS/2 2 Video Ports 1 VGA, 1 DVI TV Out 1 x S-Video Out (HDTV Compatible) Rear USB 4 RJ45 1 port Expansion PCI Slots (Available/Total) 1 x PCI Express x16 2 x PCI Slots Mouse Mouse Type Logitech Optical Wheel PS/2 Mous Keyboard Keyboard Type Logitech Deluxe 104 PS/2 Keyboard Manufacturer Warranty Parts 1 year limited Labor 1 year limited What do you think of the power supply? It seems a bit low, but maybe not.
Hi dw426. Concerning the power supply; as I'm sure you know, there is more to consider than the rated power. I would be interested to know what brand of PS that is and to see the complete specifications. If he's going to push it really hard or later chooses to upgrade the video card, the power supply might become an issue. Otherwise, I doubt it unless it's a total dog. In my opinion, everything else looks good- especially for $550.00 plus shipping and it has a one year parts and labor warranty. Considering that the operating system is worth $100.00, that system at that price looks pretty good to me.
I can't find any information on the power supply, I do know however that he's not a HUGE gamer, I honestly think he just wants more out of his World of Warcraft and enough "oomph" to do some Photoshop stuff and the like. As far as I know, he doesn't edit HD movies or anything that extreme.
Just in case you haven't done so already, you might go to the Cyberpower website and look around. Here's the link. http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/ You might find an even better deal for your friend there. Perhaps others with real world experience with Cyberpower computers can post with information and advice for you regarding build integrity and customer support.
Hello, ive had my computer from cyberpowersystem for over a year now and it works great. its best to buy direct. you can ring them up and get exactly what you want. btw cyberpower system is their uk branch. same company thou. first thing i did was spec up a system for my budget. then i posted the spec on their forums and said what i was gonna use it for. they offered some useful sergestions and verifyed all the componants would work well together. then finaly i rung them up and told the the exact spec.
You might have a look at this deal. It's not a quad, but should be plenty fast enough. It also comes with an LCD screen which you could sell if you didn't need it. If interested, please read all the comments. http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.aspx?catid=40&threadid=2274181&enterthread=y Last week, that same forum had a Q6600 system with an LCD screen for the price of the system your looking at. I have never owned a Dell and can't comment on the integrated graphics.
Hello, the amount of ram isnt that important. the GPU is the important part. the 9500 is quite weak tbh.
I would suggest to take DDR2 1066. (There is really small difference in price) At least GeForce 9800 GT. 400W is used for a non-demanding configurations. 450 W MINIMUM. If he can afford, let him take 600W. Yes it's low. Not it seems but it's really low. And if i may suggest he may add UPS . Recommended : APC P.S. Really cheap price for that configuration.
