Now, before I give my conclusion, I wanted to see just how much this system would cost if I wanted to build myself, bear in mind it’s probably not overly possible to find some of the components but I thought I’d give it a try anyway.
On PCPartPicker I managed to get almost everything on there, other than Windows 11 Home, so I chose Windows 10 Home instead, and I manually entered the price for the O11 Mini from Overclockers UK. In total it came to £1878.85, which is actually £79.85 more expensive than buying the system from Cyberpower and you have to take into consideration their labour, warranty, and the fact the system is shipped free of charge.
Talking of value, we do also have to touch on the PCSpecialist Titan Supreme that James reviewed very recently. It's a system with very similar specifications to the Cyberpower Infinity X125 GT, offering the same processor, the same memory configuration, another 750W PSU, an extra 2TB hard drive and a faster 1TB FireCuda 520 NVMe SSD. The key difference is that the Titan Supreme ships with an RTX 3060 Ti instead of the RTX 3070 found here.
Yes, the RTX 3070 is a better card but you’re only talking a performance difference of 10-12% on average compared to the RTX 3060 Ti, and considering the PCSpecialist Titan Supreme retails for £1499, I'd say for a saving of £300 that performance hit is worth it. Ultimately it comes down to who is offering the best parts and performance for the best price and we think the PCSpecialist Titan Supreme wins here.
That’s not to say the Cyberpower Infinity X125 GT isn’t a very solid system. Cyberpower does also offer tonnes of customisation of the build on their website, where they let you select different CPUs, RAM, GPUs and so on. We did try selecting a downgrade to an RTX 3060 Ti, where we'd we save £85, bringing the total cost down to £1697, but PCSpecialist’s pricing is still more favourable.
In conclusion, the Infinity X125 GT system from Cyberpower is a good all-rounder. The build quality is excellent, and I absolutely love the Lian Li Air Mini case design. It’s very well put together and cable managed, the part choices complement each other and aesthetically it ticks all the boxes.
The only let down is the MP600 Core's write speed, it managed to hit its rated read speeds but the writes are slow compared to other PCIe 4.0 SSDs we have seen this year. Gaming performance though is as solid as you'd expect from an RTX 3070 and i5-12600KF, delivering great frame rates at both 1080p and 1440p.
All in all, we do like the Cyberpower Infinity X125 GT, and apart from the aforementioned MP600 Core, there's not much wrong with it. The main thing holding it back from a higher score is the PCSpecialist Titan Supreme, which we feel offers superior value at the £1499 price-point.

Pros:
- Sensible part selection.
- Very good warranty included.
- Offers enough grunt for 1080p and 1440p gaming.
- Very well built with great cable management.
- Cheaper to buy prebuilt than build yourself.
Cons:
- MP600 Core has slow write speeds.
- PCSpecialist’s Titan Supreme at £1499 offers more bang for buck.
KitGuru says: For under £1800 this is a very competent gaming system that you’ll be hard pushed to build yourself for less money. Considering the PCSpecialist Titan Supreme however, it could do with knocking off a bit from the price just to keep it extra-competitive.
