For $600, it's not bad or anything.
It's an AMD/ATI machine. So you're probably going to need to fiddle with your drivers to get some semblance of stability.
If you're looking for absolute maxed Ultra Mode, look elsewhere.

im not looking for maxed ultra mode. just looking for simple ultra mode with no dang glitches. If you have any suggestions for something around that price that you would think would be a better idea. Im all for it. I am a mid-range on pc building. I can put it together and run it. But as for getting all the stats together that i need, im just ok. now if PC building had its own Mids 
i would be awesome at it!
I read through most of the reviews on that rig. It looked like a decent rig until I saw the numerous PSU issues customers were reporting. Even at that price, I am not going to drop that kind of money just to find out I need to drop more to keep the darn thing turned on. I would think for an extra $50 they would put a decent PSU in that thing.
When it comes to Cyberpower/Ibuypower, it's very YMMV. Some boxes are put together surprisingly well while others not so much. Always check the connections to everything before your first boot and yes, they have had PSU issues which is probably due to the cheap parts they typically use.
If you buy it, the first thing is to make sure you have a properly grounded power strip, one of the more expensive ones are worth the cash. If you have any severe issues, they have a warranty but you could always install a 600w aftermarket PSU for relatively cheap and would probably last longer. If your unfamiliar with computers and you don't want take chances, then find a friend who can check your connections.
Good luck!
Edit: I don't and haven't owned one of their computers, personally but I have known people who have and worked on them a few times. DOA's are rare but can happen. Otherwise, it's a good deal overall. You could possibly build one for slightly cheaper but only if you already had a copy of Windows.
