CyberPowerPC Gaming PC vs iBUYPOWER Element Gaming PC Desktop Computer… — Head-to-Head (2026)

Our verdict

iBUYPOWER Element Gaming PC Desktop Computer… is our pick.

The iBUYPOWER Element (RTX 5070 12 GB / i7-14700F) is the better buy for anyone gaming at 1440p or running local LLMs, while the CyberPowerPC Gamer Master is the right call only for 1080p and emulation. The RTX 5070 scores 22,221 in 3DMark Time Spy against the RTX 5060 Ti's 16,322 — a 36% gap — and its 12 GB frame buffer, not the frame rate, is what makes the substantial premium defensible in 2026.

Buy the CyberPowerPC Gamer Master if you game at 1080p on a high-refresh panel or emulate — 260 fps in CS2 at 1080p Very High and 250 fps in Apex Legends at Ultra is exactly its target, and AM5 gives you a CPU upgrade path. Buy the iBUYPOWER Element if you game at 1440p or run local LLMs beyond toy sizes — 204.1 fps in Cyberpunk 2077 at 1440p Ultra, 144.7 fps in DOOM Eternal at 4K Ultra, and 127.54 tok/s on llama2:7b (q4_0) with 12 GB GDDR7 plus 32 GB of system RAM.
