CyberPowerPC Gamer Xtreme 5200 Haswell System Review

Published: | Posted By:

Looking for a good out of box gaming rig using the latest Haswell CPU?  Look no further than CyberpowerPC.

Now that Intel's 4th-generation Core processors are flowing in the market, all your favorite boutique builders are churning out new systems based around those Haswell chips. The new Intel processors require a new socket (LGA 1150), and the associated motherboards have the new Z87 chipset. If you're as excited as we are to see how Haswell fares, stick around--there's a lot of good stuff coming down the pike.

One of our first Haswell-based system is the CyberPowerPC Gamer Xtreme 5200, which comes in a surprisingly subdued mid-tower chassis that belies the powerful components inside. It's hard to say what CyberPowerPC's going for aesthetically here, but it's easy to see that this machine is fully loaded.

This system comes with the AMD Radeon HD7990 and should downright murder games and HWBot benches, that is unless you want to see some fancy PhysX in Borderlands 2.
