Cyberpower's configuration options give the Infinity Hercules Pro plenty of scope for customisation and we're only a few small tweaks away from a solid mid-range package.
A new graphics-card launch is key ammunition for any system integrator. Jumping on the back of Nvidia's GeForce GTX 960 introduction, Cyberpower has introduced an Infinity Hercules Pro base unit that's primed for 1080p gaming.
Well-built, highly configurable and shipped with a guaranteed CPU overclock, the system ticks some of the right boxes but as with any build, the balance of the default components is open to interpretation. As it stands, the £800 price tag is a little high for the system's mid-range gaming credentials, and GTX 960-based rigs ideally need to target the sub-£650 market in order to offer widespread appeal.
Bottom line: Cyberpower's configuration options give the Infinity Hercules Pro plenty of scope for customisation and we're only a few small tweaks away from a solid mid-range package. With a less costly CPU, an air cooler, plus a custom-cooled and overclocked GTX 960, this is a system that could easily be made significantly quieter and cheaper, too.
