Because it's a cyberPC, it's highly likely the PSU and motherboard were of poor quality. Even with a good PSU, 350w isn't enough for overclocking the Fx 8350. Additionally, Fx 8xxx CPUs need either 6 or 8 power phases along with adequate cooling. Overclocking seems unlikely. I suggest returning the device and starting from scratch if possible.

Constructing a computer is proving to be significantly more expensive than anticipated. I've attempted assembling components, but the overall cost has increased instead of decreasing.

I plan to review the computer later to examine the motherboard contents. I intend to install a new PSU soon because the existing one doesn't provide sufficient power, which could lead to shorts.

Have you been really excited about this project? The only part that can be improved is the CPU itself. To push it further, you need compatible overclockable parts, a high-quality case fan, an aftermarket CPU cooler (not the built-in AMD model), and a power supply that can manage the extra power demands. And remember, the right knowledge is key to making it work!

Could you check if there are any improvements you could make to the computer?

I don't know if you're from the USA, but this system is significantly improved compared to your current setup.
