Opinions about Cybertron towers

[B1azingPh03nix]

So, I'm getting myself a new tower, and I stumbled across this thing.

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/cybertronpc-desktop-intel-core-i5-16gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-gtx-950-2tb-hard-drive/5024907.p?id=bb5024907&skuId=5024907&lsft=ref:212,loc:1&ksid=8eb4b165-d63c-4483-b71e-d86516c3c5e8&ksprof_id=8&ksaffcode=pg95&ksdevice=c&ref=212&loc=1

I've always been an ASUS guy, so I'm unfamiliar with Cybertron, and don't really know their reputation. The specs seem up to par with what I'm wanting, and whatever parts I'm iffy about, I'm going to be swapping out later on when they're outdated... but for the next couple of years these parts will do just fine for me.

It's got an Intel H110 chipset, though I'm unsure about the power supply.

I don't want to hear anyone tell me to build one, because I don't have the time for building one right now, and I just don't want to deal with that at the moment. My plan is to get a good tower for under 900$, and upgrade it as the parts become obsolete.

In summary, what is your experience with Cybertron setups, and are they good quality? (Is it going to last me five years before I have to get a whole new rig)

I highly doubt it has a quality power supply. This is the case with most prebuilt rigs, and why they are rarely, if ever, recommended. Not to mention they are typically overpriced, for what you get. For example.

Befriend someone that can build for you, if you don't want to.

Well, the price is about 869 for this setup, so I figure with an i5-6500, 16 gigs of ddr4, a gtx950, 2 tb hard drive, and an intel H110 motherboard, I figure that's a good price for the convenience.

I just want to know what cybertron's reputation is, because I'm skeptical about anything that can be found on wal-mart's website. I'm just curious if they've been known to make good quality products, or if they are known for making crap.

It is not really a good price, given that the 970 is quite a bit faster, than a 950. PSU is the #1, most important, part of your system. The fact they do not list the make/model, of the power supply doesn't lead me to believe it will be a good one. I am quite confident that it has tier 5 class, junk, PSU. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html
