So I posted a question about buying a prebuilt CYBERPOWERPC system (https://www.amazon.com/CYBERPOWERPC-Xtreme-GXiVR8080A2-Overclockable-i7-8700K/dp/B075VSBNQZ/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1517848210&sr=1-1-spons&keywords=cyberpowerpc&psc=1), and I was advised to change out the power supply because these prebuilt systems tend to suck. This is the power supply that came with it:
(https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817153232)
Obviously not the very best possible, but not a no name brand, and it is an 80+ supply. Will this supply give me problems? Should I still change it?

So far this system works really well, and having a larger space for my vive vr is really nice.

The motherboard that came with it was a decent MSI 370 pro gaming ATX which is better than I was expecting.

Can't find too many reviews on the PSU. The older "smart" series were pretty poor.

CyberPowerPC should be warranting the entire system so, personally, I wouldn't change it within the warranty term.
If something goes wrong, that's their issue IMO (less shipping, of course).

I wouldn't expect issues in the first 12-24 months, but would suggest replacing it as soon as the warranty term is up (or now, your call - just what I would do).
