Introduction

As computer users we have all gotten the question. "What system should I get?" That short sentence often leads into an hour long discussion to determine how they plan to use the new box and if they even plan to play games or do any sort of content creation. We strive to be as helpful as possible but sometimes the issue of choosing a computer isn't about the cost or components but rather the question of "Where do I get the system I want?"



In the early days of this site we were strong supporters of the upgrade path meaning that if you build a system you should always give yourself a way to upgrade later. These days the upgrade path is a little more confusing and virtually non-existent with the inexpensive OEM systems. So, what is a tech savvy, yet mechanically declined, computer advocate supposed to do in these dark times?

One possible solution is to turn to the experts at Cyberpower PC and let them build you a computer with the system specs you want and a warranty to cover it all. In this review we will be looking at a new gaming system build from Cyberpower PC called the Gamer Xtreme 4200 SE. This is an Haswell based system designed to be an inexpensive and yet powerful gaming PC with a total price tag around $1599US.



As with any computer build let's start with the specs.
