At $1050 for a prebuilt, those components are bad and cooling unacceptable. I'm sure they could have added a much better cooler for $5 extra. Also, whats up with pre built with a single stick of RAM. 8GB of 3000Mhz in single channel and can't even run within spec due to the choice of motherboard.

I don't know how the prebuilt prices are like for you guys in the US/Canada, but in the UK you can get a system with a 3600, RTX 2060 and 16GB RAM from £800 with no OS - https://www.awd-it.co.uk/awd-observatory-lite-mesh-ryzen-3-3300x-quad-core-4.3ghz-rtx-2060-6gb-desktop-pc-for-gaming.html

That Cyberpower is PC is awful as is the Dell for value :P

I noticed the same problem regarding the RAM when I was looking for PCs for my father. It's cheaper to use one x8 or x16GB memory module than two 4 or 8GB ones.

Also ths stock cooler is so loud that my father couldn't stand it and I had to get a new one to replace it. Got a beQuiet Pure Rock 2: it's now whisper quiet.



Please excuse my bad English.
