Not that long ago NVIDIA released its GTX 460 video cards. These cards gave gamers an even better bang for their buck and the cards were aimed to compete with AMD’s low end 5800 and 5700 series cards. Of course many custom PC builders have incorporated these new cards into their systems to give gamers better performance at a great price. Cyberpower PC is one of those custom PC builders and today we will be looking at their Gamer Dragon system which features an AMD Phenom II X6 processor, NVIDIA GTX 460 GPU, 4GB of DDR3 memory and much more. All of this for just over $1000 too! Let’s check it out!

Packaging
The entire system comes in one large white box with the CyberPower PC logo on it. When you first open the box up there is a large “Please Read” section that tells you to keep all of the packing materials and gives you customer service numbers.
Before we can get to what’s inside there is a large piece of protecting foam, on top of it is our invoice. Moving it out of the way inside we find out system in its case box and the motherboard box. When you get everything out of the box you have the system box and inside of the motherboard box you will find a bag with all of the extra cables for your motherboard and software CD’s.
You listed 4GB in the specs 2x2GB – which doesnt make sense for the
– Would have liked to see more than 2GB of memory on the base system
Ah our spec sheet said 2GB, but the system actually had 4GB in it. The review has been updated.
I would buy this pre-configured like this. I love the case and the Asetek liquid cooling. great video card and a wonderful price! I am however waiting for the AMD 6770 to come out in October before I make my final decision.

I also should have mentioned that I liek the fact that they did not skimp int he most important area: the Power supply! i wish they had taken a picture with the system on with the front fan that lights up Blue. Also did they pay extra for that nice wiring job? Why on Earth would anyone use the windows index experience to get a benchmark? it tells people nothing. Secondly why not runt he games at 1920×1200? This set up is more than capable for that. If I could get it from newegg and just wait 3 days for shipping. I’d buy this today!
last?
