Finally Intel’s Sandy Bridge is here! I’m sure you have heard about it a lot in the past few months. This new CPU architecture is still built on the 32nm process and is still branded Core i3, i5 and i7 so what really is new? These new processors are supposed to be more efficient, have the best integrated graphics ever from Intel and they are to be priced quite competitively. This of course is not an Intel Sandy Bridge review, this is a CyberPower system review! They have really built an awesome Sandy Bridge system for us and we can’t wait to check it out! Read on to see what Sandy Bridge really can do and how awesome this system is!
Special thanks to CyberPower for providing us with the Gamer Xtreme 5000 system to review.

Packaging
If you’ve read any of our previous CyberPower system reviews you know they ship their systems in large white boxes with the CyberPower logo on the side. Opening the box up you have an invoice and a please read warning with tech support e-mails and phone numbers.
Opening the box up completely everything is nicely packed inside. The system of course is in the case box, which will all knows provides great protection. Also you will receive the motherboard box that has all of your extra cables and documentation for the system. Finally CyberPower includes an accessory bag that has a t-shirt inside.
