Key takeaways
- The i5-13400F + RTX 4060 Gamer Xtreme is a 1080p high-settings machine that can stretch to 1440p with DLSS in many games.
- Check your SKU: some 16GB configurations use a single DDR5 stick (single channel); adding a matching second stick is the best early upgrade.
- RTX 3050 versions are noticeably slower, especially the 6GB model; RTX 5060 versions are the current replacement with DLSS 4 support.
- Retail listings commonly show a 600W power supply for RTX 4060 configurations, which leaves room for a moderate GPU upgrade.
- Warranty depends on where you buy: typically 1 year parts and labor at many retailers, longer when buying from CyberPowerPC directly.
The CyberPowerPC Gamer Xtreme with an Intel Core i5-13400F and GeForce RTX 4060 is a solid 1080p gaming PC: it runs most current games at high settings at 1080p, handles esports titles at high refresh rates, and has a reasonable upgrade path. Its main weaknesses are the 8GB of video memory, a modest cooling and power setup, and some configurations that ship with a single memory stick, which you should fix early.
The CyberPowerPC Gamer Xtreme is not one fixed model but a long-running family of prebuilt desktops sold under many SKU numbers, with GPUs ranging from the RTX 3050 to the RTX 5060 and above. This review focuses on the popular i5 plus RTX 4060 configuration, then compares it with the older RTX 3050 versions and the newer RTX 5060 versions so you can tell which one you are looking at. It is a research-based review built from manufacturer and retailer spec sheets and published coverage; we did not personally use the system.

RTX 4060 vs RTX 3050 vs RTX 5060 Gamer Xtreme versions
Because the family spans several GPU generations, the GPU matters far more than the “Gamer Xtreme” name. Here is how the common versions compare on published GPU specifications.
| GPU in the Gamer Xtreme | VRAM and bus | Graphics power (approx.) | Upscaling and frame generation | Realistic target |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RTX 3050 6GB | 6GB GDDR6, 96-bit | About 70 W | DLSS Super Resolution, no Frame Generation | 1080p medium, esports |
| RTX 3050 8GB | 8GB GDDR6, 128-bit | About 130 W | DLSS Super Resolution, no Frame Generation | 1080p medium-high |
| RTX 4060 | 8GB GDDR6, 128-bit | About 115 W | DLSS 3 with Frame Generation | 1080p high, some 1440p with DLSS |
| RTX 5060 | 8GB GDDR7, 128-bit | About 145 W | DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation | 1080p high to ultra, more 1440p with DLSS |
Older Gamer Xtreme VR units from around 2022 paired an i5-11400F with an RTX 3050 8GB and only 8GB of DDR4 memory. If you see one used or refurbished, budget for a memory upgrade.
Gaming performance expectations
We do not publish our own frame-rate numbers. Based on widely published RTX 4060 reviews, here is what to expect in general terms; results vary with game, settings, driver version, CPU and patch.
- Esports titles (Valorant, Counter-Strike 2, Fortnite with competitive settings, Rocket League): very high frame rates at 1080p, often well above 144 fps, making a 144-240 Hz monitor worthwhile.
- Modern AAA games at 1080p high: commonly around 60-100 fps in many titles, more with DLSS.
- Demanding ray-traced games: playable at 1080p with DLSS and Frame Generation, usually not at maximum settings.
- 1440p: workable in many games with DLSS and some settings lowered. Some recent games can exceed 8GB of VRAM at high texture settings, causing stutter; lowering texture quality fixes this.
Strengths
- Balanced core parts: the i5-13400F/14400F does not bottleneck an RTX 4060 in most games.
- Efficient GPU: the RTX 4060’s low power draw keeps temperatures and noise manageable in a prebuilt case.
- DDR5 and Gen4 SSD: current platform features that will not feel dated quickly.
- Upgrade room: a standard ATX-style mid-tower with free memory slots and space for more storage.
- Ready to play: Windows installed, usually with a basic keyboard and mouse included.
Weaknesses to know before buying
- Single-channel memory on some SKUs: one 16GB stick limits memory bandwidth and can reduce performance in CPU-heavy games. Published reviews of related Gamer Xtreme models have pointed this out.
- 8GB VRAM: fine for 1080p, but the main limit for 1440p and future games.
- Basic cooling: the CPU cooler and case fans are adequate rather than premium, so fan noise can rise under long loads.
- Front I/O: some SKUs lack a front USB-C port.
- SKU confusion: similar product names hide very different GPUs and memory configurations. Always read the full spec line.
CyberPowerPC Gamer Xtreme setup checklist: the first hour
- Remove packing foam. Prebuilts often ship with foam inside the case to protect the GPU. Open the side panel and remove it before powering on, or airflow will suffer.
- Plug the monitor into the graphics card. The i5-13400F and 14400F have no integrated graphics, so motherboard video ports will not work.
- Check memory configuration. Open Task Manager, Performance, Memory and look at “Slots used.” If it says 1 of 4 (or 1 of 2), plan a second matching stick.
- Enable XMP. Enter the BIOS (usually Delete during boot) and enable the memory’s XMP profile if it is not already on, so RAM runs at its rated speed.
- Set the monitor refresh rate. In Windows 11, open Settings, System, Display, Advanced display and pick the highest refresh rate.
- Update drivers. Install the latest GeForce driver from NVIDIA and run Windows Update.
- Remove unneeded startup apps. Check Settings, Apps, Startup and disable trial software you do not use.
Upgrade path
| Upgrade | When it makes sense | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Second RAM stick (dual channel) | If the PC shipped with 1x16GB | Match capacity, speed and DDR5 type; or replace with a 2x16GB kit |
| Second NVMe SSD | When the 1TB drive fills up | Free M.2 slot on the motherboard |
| Better CPU cooler | If the CPU runs hot or loud under long loads | Case cooler height clearance, LGA1700 mounting |
| GPU upgrade | For 1440p or more VRAM | Card length, PSU wattage and connectors; a 600W unit suits mid-range cards |
| Extra case fans | If temperatures stay high | Free fan headers or a fan hub |
How to identify which Gamer Xtreme you have
Model numbers such as GXiVR8060A24 or GXi3200BSTV9 change with every parts refresh, and the same number prefix has covered very different hardware over the years. To see what is actually inside:
- Read the sticker on the back or top of the case; it lists the full model number, which you can match to the retailer’s spec sheet.
- Open Task Manager, Performance. The CPU, GPU and memory pages show the exact processor, graphics card, VRAM and memory slots used.
- Check storage in Settings, System, Storage, Advanced storage settings, Disks and volumes to see the SSD model and capacity.
- Check the power supply label through the case window or by removing the side panel if you plan a GPU upgrade.
Gamer Xtreme vs building your own
Building a PC with the same parts can cost a little less and lets you choose a better power supply, cooler and dual-channel memory from day one. The prebuilt’s advantages are convenience, a single warranty for the whole system, a preinstalled Windows license and no assembly risk. For a first gaming PC, or if you do not want to troubleshoot hardware, the Gamer Xtreme is a reasonable shortcut as long as you check the memory configuration and plan the small upgrades listed above.
Who should buy it and who should skip
Buy it if you want a ready-made 1080p gaming PC for esports and modern games at high settings, you are fine doing a small RAM upgrade, and you want DLSS 3 Frame Generation without paying for a higher-tier card.
Skip it if you mainly want 1440p ultra or 4K gaming, you need more than 8GB of VRAM for creative work or modding, or you can find an RTX 5060 version for a similar price tier, which is the better long-term choice.

Frequently asked questions
Is the CyberPowerPC Gamer Xtreme good for gaming?
Yes, in RTX 4060 and RTX 5060 configurations it is a capable 1080p gaming PC that also handles some 1440p gaming with DLSS. RTX 3050 versions are better suited to esports and lighter games.
Can the CyberPowerPC Gamer Xtreme RTX 4060 run games at 1440p?
Many games are playable at 1440p with DLSS and some settings lowered, but the 8GB of VRAM and the GPU’s power make 1080p its ideal resolution. Expect to reduce texture quality in some recent titles.
What power supply does the Gamer Xtreme RTX 4060 have?
Retail listings for RTX 4060 configurations commonly show a 600W power supply, but CyberPowerPC changes parts between SKUs, so check the spec sheet for your exact model number.
Is the CyberPowerPC Gamer Xtreme RTX 3050 worth it?
It can be a budget entry point for esports games, but the RTX 3050, especially the 6GB version, is much slower than an RTX 4060. If the price gap is small, the RTX 4060 or RTX 5060 versions offer far more longevity.
Can I upgrade the RAM and GPU later?
Yes. The Gamer Xtreme uses standard desktop parts, so you can add memory, storage and a new graphics card. Check case clearance, PSU wattage and power connectors before buying a new GPU.
Does the Gamer Xtreme RTX 4060 need a better CPU cooler?
Not for normal gaming; the i5-13400F and 14400F are 65 W base-power chips that the included cooler can handle. A larger tower cooler mainly reduces noise during long, heavy sessions or in a warm room.
What warranty does the CyberPowerPC Gamer Xtreme have?
Many retail listings show a 1-year parts and labor warranty with lifetime tech support, while some stores and CyberPowerPC’s own store offer longer coverage. Check the warranty terms for the store you buy from.
