Good cyberpower specs?

[cormacnyc]

Are these good specs for playing games like counter strike, CoD, and at good quality? Also, can it connect to WiFi?

If you're going to use a gtx960, why bother building with intel's 6 core processor?

 

[jhall18]

Yes, it can connect to the internet, it has a wifi card. As for how it will perform for games, might not want to go with that cpu. The 5820k for me has always been a cpu for rendering/editing, hence the 6 cores, something like an 4790k or 6600k would suit you better.

Would it be bad if I used this cpu? Could I still use it for gaming?

Of course, it won't be a bottleneck at all for gaming. Also if you ever decide to start editing and rendering videos the 6 cores will be helpful.

Its a fine CPU for gaming. In fact in the future it might be a better CPU for gaming if games start using more cores.

Frankly, the only thing I would question is a GTX 960 instead of at least a GTX 970.

CPU is overkill, get an i7 6700 and a GTX 980. That'll keep you gaming at max settings on any game at 1080p for quite some time.

Personally. I'd aviod iBuyPower and CyberPowerPC altogether. They are renowned on these forums for having poor quality unbalanced PCs that are overpriced, along with bad after sales support. I've seen way too many of them fail on these forums to recommend them. Go with a more trusted company like Digital Storm, Origin PC or Puget Systems. Sure, they cost more and you may not get as many free add-ons, but I think having a better build is the main goal at the end of the day.

I did some research on who make's CyberPower's PSUs by checking the UL Certification number for a thread some time back. Here is what I came up with:

Found it. It's made by a company called ATNG POWER CO LTD. Probably an OEM.

So far, what I can gather is that they make (Or made) low end PSUs for Rosewill most notably, along with some smaller brands.

From a 2009 HardOCP Review -

ATNG Power Co. LTD (I Horng Power Co. LTD.) is one of the larger providers of power supplies in various markets including the US and is fairly well known to many users. As a company ATNG has been in business since 1987 and currently has a production capacity of ~900,000 units a month. ATNG branded power supplies can be found under other brands such as Rosewill, older BFGTech models, Coolmax, StarTech.com, some ABS, the ATNG brand itself, and others. Typically ATNG power supplies have not been what most users have considered to be a premier product offering but with the increased competition in the power supply market of late ATNG has released a number of new products that are of great interest to us including today’s Nexus branded unit.

Everything I can find on ATNG dates back to around 2009. Looks like not many companies use them as OEMs now. I''m inclined to think CyberPower gets PSUs custom made for them from ATNG, unlike other PC builders that use what is on the market.

In any case, replace it ASAP. Give us your PC specs so we can recommend a cheap but good PSU.

In any case, this line is particulaly worrying:

Power Supply: 600 Watts - Standard 80 Plus Certified Power Supply - SLI/CrossFireX Ready

Even the cheapest half-decent PSUs like the CX430 are 80+ Bronze Certified (Yes, it's not a reliable certification but that's a discussion for another time). Today finding a PSU that's only 80+ Certified is extremely rare. Whatever PSUs they use is literally what they can get at rock-bottom prices, which is why we don't recommend them here on the forums. The fact that they don't name the PSU model or even manufacturer is probably because these change on a daily basis based on who is selling for the lowest price. Do youreslf a favour and go with one of the other custom builders I suggested above. Yes, they do cost more but the hassle you'll avoid when the PSU inevitably gives up and possibly fries other components as well is worth it.
