No, it has a ton of issues. PM Generation since I'm in a rush now, but to sum it up:

-AMD is a bad choice
-PSU is crap
-Case is stupid overkill
-Wrong cooling for a CPU and case like this, should be air
-Peripherals are trash
-There are better choices than the 7770

Moral of the story, don't buy prebuilt.

Quality > quantity. These standard PSU's that come stock with the majority of PC's that are put together by the CyberpowerPC staff are terrible, and I mean terrible and don't output near the wattage is says under load. So in summary, a 550w XfX for example > 1000w standard < who knows how long it's going to last > PSU.

But back to the build, it's just really bad.

To start off, the CPU..the FX6100 is terrible in 99% of applications and doesn't even come near Intel in terms of gaming and overclocking. Hell, there are benchmarks proving that the 955/965 ( last generation AMD chips ) pull better FPS and render times for example for less cost. I would be lying if I said going with any AMD chip over a 2500k would be a good choice. I hate CyberpowerPC and their selection ( because I can see they're not huge MSI fans ) but any $~150 P67/Z68/Z77 board will usually do you good. Those pre-filled loops with cheap 120mm fans are usually really bad and I wouldn't choose it over a Hyper 212 or even a V6-G5 for that matter - but since they have to ship the entire PC to you, the cons of getting an air cooler are knocked down. A HAFX is a fantastic case, but it does not match the budget of all of the other specifications - this would be practical for a $1500(+) build. Vengeance RAM have tall heatsinks that serve no purpose besides pure aesthetics and will only bring you troubles in the long run. A 7770 is a terrible choice as shown [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] . What I'm trying to say is that the whole build needs to go. List your budget here and if you need an O/S and I'll get you a much more better build for your price point.
