Several CyberPowerPC listings double storage to 2TB. These three are the configurations where storage stands out.
Our comparison uses what each seller states, not hands-on testing. Listings without a named CPU, a GPU with its VRAM, a RAM figure or an SSD size were dropped, as were renewed units and outlier prices.

Skip if
- Pass on it if 8GB of VRAM can force lower texture settings in newer games at 1440p rules it out for your setup.
Why we like it
Its PSU wattage isn't published, so ask the seller before a GPU upgrade. Its 8GB VRAM is the least in this group; the CyberPowerPC 5060 Ti 16GB leads at 16GB. It is the only pick here with an RTX 5060 graphics card; the CyberPowerPC 5060 Ti 16GB has an RTX 5060 Ti graphics card instead.
It is the only pick here with a core Ultra 5 225F processor; the CyberPowerPC 5060 Ti 16GB has a ryzen 7 8700F processor instead. Check the Gamer Xtreme 225F's ports against your monitor: most graphics cards use DisplayPort and HDMI, so match the cable to the refresh rate you want. At 8GB of VRAM, 1080p is the comfortable target for new games. It was the cheapest of the group when we checked; the CyberPowerPC 5060 Ti 16GB was the next step up.
