There's no doubt that the core of the Cyberpower Ultra 7 RTX makes for a decent PC. Its combination of 8-core 16-thread Ryzen 7 2700X processor and RTX 2070 graphics means there is a fair amount of power at your disposal, with frame rates going as high as 100FPS at 1080p and still a respectable 65-75FPS at 1440p.

In my view, however, there are just a few too many smaller issues with the system that leaves me feeling a little disappointed considering the £1349 asking price.

First of all, one of the more significant points I'd make is that we'd really expect faster RAM to accompany the Ryzen 7 2700X as this price – it is well-known that Ryzen works best with fast memory, so including a 2400MHz kit by default isn't the greatest idea. On top of that, the PSU is only 80+ White certified, when I would really expect an 80+ Gold unit at this price. Those are the two primary flaws with the Ultra 7 RTX.

To further compound things, there's a number of smaller, niggling issues which all add up. These include the RGB system not working out of the box, the exposed multi-colour wiring on the 24-pin cable, the noticeable GPU sag, and overall cable management being a little untidy. These are relatively minor points when taken on their own, but they do add up.

To be clear, this is still a capable gaming PC – it'd be hard for it not to be with the components used. Considering the £1349 asking price, though, I think the Ultra 7 RTX just needed a bit more care and thought throughout the planning and building of this system, as there's just a few too many minor issues that could've been avoided.

So overall, at the price you are paying for this system it's certainly not terrible, but there is just a few too many things I'd like to see changed for me to be able to give this an enthusiastic recommendation at its £1349 asking price.
