A few months ago, CyberPowerPC unveiled a new line of custom gaming PCs under the “Zeus” moniker that promised impressive specs and features at a relatively low price. As it turns out, there are plenty of Zeus models available (nine at present, by our count), which provides a plethora of starting price points. For $1,125, you can nab a basic Zeus Thunder 1000, but a top-of-the-heap Zeus Thunder Max starts at $3,735.
Right smack dab in the middle of the Zeus family price ladder is the Zeus Thunder 2500 SE, a $1,899 rig that CyberPowerPC sent us to play with. Granted, there are plenty of nice systems out there in the $1,000-$2,000 range, but there’s often a feature or two you have to live without. Perhaps the CPU or GPU is a generation old, or you forego liquid cooling in favor of traditional air-cooling. There are no such concessions with the Zeus Thunder 2500 SE, unless you consider rocking a GeForce GTX 680 instead of a 690 or an Intel Core i7-3770Kinstead of perhaps a 3960X compromising.Indeed, this CPU and GPU pairing is a fine starting point for a high-performing system, and the overclocked CPU (4.7GHz) is cooled by an Asetek 570LX 240mm water cooler. CyberPowerPC opted for an ASUS P8Z77-V motherboard upon which to build the system and slotted in 16GB of Corsair Vengeance DDR3-1600 (4x4GB).
