is this a good build for this price?

Well, it depends on your budget and if you're willing to build a computer yourself or not - but I suspect you go the prebuilt route due to lack of video cards.

 

It's probably a less than $2000 system but you're paying more these days. 

 

Personally, I wouldn't include the capture card because you probably overpay for it, and it's easy to buy it separately. I doubt they're scalped or in high demand.

I don't know if it's worth paying $45 more for Trident Z ... i guess maybe if you're going for bling, rgb etc ... i don't know what it's compared to, what was the default choice.

 

I wouldn't pay $19 for "pro overclock" and i wouldn't pay 10$ for the thermal paste and i wouldn't buy extension cables for $39 ... but again, i suspect you're going for looks and rgb and you don't care that much about money.

The extra packaging would be worth it, the way some packages are thrown and kicked....

No that is a pretty bad price compared to other cyberpower systems out. Where are you getting this cyberpower from is it directly from them?

Remove EVERY add on they wanna add in. thermal paste, overclocking, their HDMI cable, wiring (their normal wiring is already okay except some shenanigans with stray connectors), swap their cooler for their 240mm masterliquid rebrand, keep the stock chassis fan (P500 already comes with 3 out of the box), switch the CPU to an 11600K (or as i eluded to in the previous post, an 11400F) and then get yourself a 3070 or 3080 with those cuts.

This is a config that is not only cheaper but already better. You can even EASILY get a 3070 or 3080 in there in your budget.

 

In the other system you have you waste hundereds in useless addons.

 

As for all your peripherals again buy them yourself you are paying a PREMIUM to get them from cyberpower and can easily just go buy them yourself from anywhere else.

 

Keep in mind that ANY rtx 3000 series system will take at least 4-5 weeks to be delivered to you.

Yeah, my bad. Its an i5, i usually just ignore the 3-5-7 nomenclature and jump to their model number straight on.

is the built in wifi the best option for wireless? or is an addon faster. @SorryClaire @jaslion

The built in wifi is plenty good. Keep in mind the build I sent might not be 100% complete as their site works quite poorly in the eu. So best to post that list again once you are done configuring.
