Which one is better? $100 difference between the two

    The first one mentions liquid cooling; which I’d assume is for the CPU not the GPU. The second option does not mention liquid cooling. But the second one has newer Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chipset than the first.

    Pick your poison.

    For pure gaming, pick the better gpu. If doing workloads, go 14900k. That being said, prebuilts usually skimp on something so I’d double check bells and whistles. Case airflow might be problematic too

    I bought an MSI pre build march 24 and it was a terrible experience. One of the many ridiculous moments was them telling me I had to pay to ship the entire PC back to them, wait up to three weeks, and pay to have it shipped to me again to fix the defective mouse. That, software issues, them not having components and drivers on their website for latest gens or builds, or not even knowing which driver it needed, internet not working, bloatware, etc. Thankfully I was able to return it, even though they tried to make me pay for shipping. I will avoid them entirely going forward. If you want a pre build I feel like you’re better off going with a company that builds custom ones. You’d probably get more for the same amount.

  4. The first 1 will have better gaming performance

    The 4070 super in #1 is better than the 4070 in #2. Both cpus will perform about the same given adequate cooling. They both have 8 P cores(the ones that matter for gaming) but the 14900 has extra e cores. If you have workloads(not gaming) that use all the extra threads go for 2, if not and gaming is the primary concern go for 1.

    ~~Funny enough, I think both are equally ok. My question is what is the RAM speed and what PSU do they have. GPU is the same but the second one appears to have a “better” CPU.~~

    ~~Overall, the second one (MSI) has slightly better specs (CPU), but I cannot state that it is worth an extra $100.~~

    Just realized the first one has a better GPU, go with that one, hope it’s the cheaper model too.

    The cheaper one, there is a performance difference between the two but it’s not worth 100$ (in gaming)

    I say the cyberpower. Between the better gpu and liquid cooling those are nice upgrades compared to the msi.

    Lots of people also don’t take into account that even in productivity, the difference in the cpus will be negligible at best unless you’re rendering or video editing. For most users the 2 cpus will be equal. Where the gpu for gaming will have a big impact.

  9. The less expensive one has the better graphics card, the RTX 4070 super.

    The more expensive one have the normal RTX 4070.

  10. illicITparameters

    The first one, it has a better video card.

  11. EldenEdge

    i own the first one, from costco, amazing pc

  12. The wifi card and ventilation of the first one are absolute ass. I’d take it anyway, 14700f +4070 super is a better pair and cheaper!

  13. TestDZnutz

    I’ve got a CyberPower from 2009 that still runs. And using my second one now. They make/sell good stuff. Even called me up to let me know Xp couldn’t recognize all the RAM I wanted. Which was fine because I was holding off on whatever the crap version was before 7. Vista maybe?

  14. CxFusion3mp

    100$ for 14% more cpu performance. I’d go for it honestly.

  15. I was always told by my teacher to go with the computers with the higher DDR but I think the first one is def better 😭

  16. Advanced-Part-5744

    Get the super… use the money you saved to buy insurance then overclock it to the moon.

  17. siggiarabi

    Jesus christ, you guys have it so good with these prices

  18. JGreen195794

    I remember buying a top of the line card for 400$ was expensive. And all you guys are like “wow look at these prices”. Standards have changed so much. And ignorance ensures they never return to normal.

  19. logicalreasonreality

    First one, better GPU and a i7 is just as great for gaming as a i9.

  20. v13ragnarok7

    Is this Costco again? They seem to have the best deals on prebuilts by far

  21. Greenbeanicus

    Build one yourself. You will absolutely love it.

  22. Flinty984

    yeah if the 1060 is still a decent 1440p card then I dunno really what a 4070s is. Not everyone needs 4k 144hz or higher

  23. PyrorifferSC

    First one with the 4070 super. Also, hello neighbor, careful with location info on screenshots though lol

  24. Witchberry31

    Custom prebuilt had a slightly stronger GPU, while the MSi prebuilt one had a slightly stronger CPU.

    It all depends on your needs.

  25. I had a bad experience with Cyberpowerpc a couple of Years ago. You couldn’t pay me to use one of their products.

  26. plantainrepublic

    The first one is definitely a better buy. It’s an arguably better computer overall even ignoring the price difference.

  27. Bloodfarts4foone

    The less expensive one has a better GPU, and not that much less of a CPU. the 14th gen Intel i7 has an identical P-core count to the I-9. With 4 fewer efficiency cores. Although it’s no slouch with 12 efficiency cores…

  28. TheLastF

    I got the first one a few months ago and I love it. The graphics card is better.

  29. Damuhfudon

    Off topic, but is a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 good in 2024?

  30. BuildingC0mputer

    Go with the 4070 Super, Better performing GPU for gaming.

  31. KimJongDerp1992

    I’d take the super. The 14700 and 14900 are pretty close in gaming tasks.

  32. da_goeller

    I am really confused that no one here is mentioning that the second one is air cooling a 14900F. That thing is gonna explode if you put workload on it.
