CyberPowerPC CyberPowerPC Gamer Supreme Liquid Cool Desktop Review
The CyberPowerPC Gamer Supreme packs a 95th percentile CPU for heavy creative work, but its gaming performance is more mid-pack. Is it the right $1750 pre-built for you?
The 30-Second Version
This PC has a CPU in the top 5% of all systems we track, making it a rendering and encoding powerhouse. Its RTX 5060 Ti GPU is capable but not class-leading. At $1750, it's a great deal for creators who game, not the other way around.
Overview
The CyberPowerPC Gamer Supreme is a desktop that leans hard into CPU power. Its Intel 265KF 20-core CPU lands in the 95th percentile, which means it's faster than almost every other system we track. Paired with 32GB of DDR5 RAM and a 2TB NVMe SSD, this machine is built to handle heavy multi-threaded workloads without breaking a sweat.
But it's not a pure gaming rig. The RTX 5060 Ti GPU sits in the 74th percentile, which is solid but not top-tier. At $1750, you're paying for a workstation-grade processor first and foremost. The liquid cooling and 850W PSU suggest it's ready for upgrades, but out of the box, it's a creator and developer's tool that can also game.
Performance
Let's talk about that CPU. A 95th percentile score isn't just good, it's elite. In our benchmarks, this 20-core chip chews through video encoding and 3D rendering tasks. It's the kind of power that shaves minutes, or even hours, off long renders. The 32GB of DDR5 RAM (82nd percentile) and 2TB PCIe 4.0 SSD (91st percentile) keep up, ensuring you're rarely waiting on data.
The GPU story is different. The RTX 5060 Ti is a capable 1440p gaming card, but its 74th percentile ranking means it's a step behind the highest-end options. You'll get great frame rates in most titles, but don't expect to max out the latest AAA games at 4K with ray tracing on full blast. For creative apps that leverage GPU acceleration, it's more than enough, but the CPU is the undisputed star here.

Value & Pricing
At $1750, the value proposition hinges entirely on how much you need that monster CPU. You're getting workstation-level processing power in a pre-built gaming PC shell. Compared to building it yourself, you're paying a small premium for the convenience and warranty. However, if your primary goal is pure gaming FPS per dollar, systems with a slightly weaker CPU and a stronger GPU might offer better value.
Price History
vs Competition
Stacked against its peers, the Gamer Supreme's identity is clear. The HP Omen 45L or Alienware Aurora R16 at this price often pair a high-end GPU (like an RTX 5070) with a slightly less powerful CPU. They'll game better. The Lenovo Legion Tower 5i might match it on CPU but could skimp on the PSU or RAM. The Corsair Vengeance a7400 is a closer spec match but usually costs more. Your choice boils down to this: do you want a gaming PC that's also a rendering beast (this CyberPowerPC), or a gaming PC that's slightly more focused on gaming (the Omen/Aurora)?

Common Questions
Q: Is the RTX 5060 Ti good for 4K gaming?
Based on its 74th percentile ranking, it's a solid 1440p card. You can game at 4K, but you'll likely need to turn down some settings in the most demanding titles to maintain high frame rates.
Q: Can this PC handle streaming and gaming at the same time?
Absolutely. The 20-core CPU is in the 95th percentile for a reason. It has plenty of cores to dedicate to encoding your stream without impacting game performance.
Q: How easy is it to upgrade later?
Very. The 850W power supply has headroom for a more powerful GPU, and the mid-tower case has standard mounting points. The liquid cooling also keeps the CPU thermals in check for years.
Who Should Skip This
Skip this if you want a compact, living-room-friendly PC. Its 35.2/100 score for compactness means it's a large tower. Also, if you're solely a gamer and don't do heavy multi-threaded work, you can get better gaming performance for your money by prioritizing a GPU with a higher percentile score than the 74th percentile RTX 5060 Ti.
Verdict
We recommend the CyberPowerPC Gamer Supreme if your workflow is CPU-bound. For video editors, 3D artists, developers running heavy compilations, or streamers, that 95th percentile processor is a legitimate productivity booster. If you're a hardcore gamer who wants the absolute highest frame rates above all else, look for a system where the GPU percentile is higher than the CPU. This is a specialist's tool disguised as a gamer.
