compare at userbenchmark
Last I knew the userbenchmark site was a joke that no one in the reviewer community took seriously. You're much better off tracking down a video on the GPU from somewhere like Gamers Nexus, Hardware Unboxed, AnandTech, etc.

And also, the msi is $82 less.
MSI only had a 650 watt power supply. I would say these are pretty equal but that MSI is sold out.

i've heard people say they are biased against amd but i personally doubt that its bunk when they are averaging millions of tests together and you can just see how many more frames you get with one card compared to another

Can the processor be replaced with an i9 and 32 to 64gb ram? Acer spec page not loading and I'm new to this
It can, but you'll definitely need to upgrade the heatsink as well.

The motherboard apparently uses the H670 chipset, which should be compatible up to the 14th gen if a BIOS update is available.

I think the complaint was that they were editorializing a lot of bias and that some of their suggested benchmarks favored Intel.

To me, that just means that you shouldn't buy hardware just for the sake of benchmarking.

It's hard to go wrong when you know what software you plan to use and then just buy the best hardware for the job.

Yes but also need to weigh refurb vs new (why was it refurbished to begin with?), and new gen chipset for upgrading down the road. Tough decisions!
Intels 12-14th gen are all the same chipset and socket. They are interchangeable.

Don't forget that Acer is one of the lowest quality gaming brands. It's cheap compared to Razer and ASUS ROG. Their stuff doesn't last as long.

I agree that Razer stuff doesn't last as long.

Quote from wherestheanykey :
The stigma about "refurbished" electronics is really odd, especially if it's not something you'd be able to fix yourself.

If it's an issue with the entire line, the ones sold as new will usually have the same probability of having the same issue.

Wouldn't you rather they take care of it before you buy it, rather than discover it later and have to go through the warranty process?
My only concern is that Acer always has some little thing that is janky and breaks easy on all of their products. With laptops it is usually their power connector and that was often soldered to the main board. I'm not sure if they fixed this or not, but one little issue like that makes a lasting impression and to me it is why I wouldn't trust any of their products refurbished or not.

I bought the cyberpowerpc as new. It came in with a bad graphic card. I am wondering how unreliable or lack of QA those graphic cards are. Or they just put in a used one instead?

Quite often a refurbished item is sent back because the person that bought the item especially electronics don't know how to use it, thinks it is broken, and sends it back. Since the company can't sell it as new anymore, even if it wasn't used, they sell it refurbished. Odds are really good that if you buy a refurbished item, it will be as good as used.
