Nothing too bad in my opinion, I spent hours making changes since In the future I wanted a good foundation to build off of. But I'm now worried since after looking into some reviews and seeing how people reacted to their own orders I see that I've made a mistake. I chose to have a standard PSU instead of the better brand since I was hoping to save some money and I can upgrade it later. But now I'm not sure if that an option since it seems MANY people say to get it out of the system asap. This is a problem since it too late to change it and I'm worried that this PSU may cause damage to my system way before I can replace it. I'm I right to be concerned and have I sentence my systems to death or will I have a reasonable amount of time to fix this mistake.?
 
Solution
Overclocking ryzen really isn't too hard. I've been running my ryzen 1600 overclocked since about a week after getting it with no issues. Main thing is just take it show and try to keep the voltages in spec. I like to stay as close to stock voltages as I can personally.


Not planning to overclock anytime soon, hoping to just have it future proof. To stay in the mid-range or the current average systems.
 
He is correct though, you should be fine for normal usage, you really only hear about the PSU failures since they generally don't receive much coverage for "successful PSU's." Likely because all PSU's are expected to be fine ;p That setup shouldn't have issues.
 


I'd never, ever recommend anyone buying something from there.
I'd actively try to talk them out of it.

But since he already has it....
(I don't want to scare him with a bunch of links to threads in here of "issues" with CyberPower and the like)
 
You'll probably be ok to use the computer for now, but get it out of there as soon as you can afford another one.

Maybe look at one like the Corsair cx 650 or a seasonic. I personally have an evga 600b that I like ok, but I know there are supposed to be better units out there. But I'd get that standard power supply it off there as soon as you're able.
 




since you are not overclocking you loose quite a bit of the reason to even get a ryzen setup


If you just got it return it, and build your own with help from people here

$1179 would have gotten a beast gaming setup...
 




just to be clear, I don't plan on overclocking anytime soon but I will overclock. I just don't want to go out of the gate with putting that much wear and tear on my system at the start. Plus the fact that I'm not that experience overclocking so I'm taking it slow and learning all that I can as I go. But I understand what everyone is saying about buying it vs building your own.
 


There really is no such thing as "future proof". You have a current gen CPU that will provide lots of upgrade paths and a current gen GPU, so you should be good for a while. Most people don't like Cyberpower for the reasons USAFret pointed out earlier in this thread.
 
If it's any help, I went through the same agonizing over Cyberpower when I got my PC from them on a great BestBuy sale. Mine hasn't given me any trouble at all (other than knowing up front that it would be a basis for upgrades in the future). The only issue I had with mine out of the box was that the CPU fan was loose, but that was easily rectified.

Edit: Mine has a Corsair PSU however.
