Does a great job for the price!

As others have said, RAM isn’t 3000MHz – it was 2666MHz. That goes for both times I bought this PC.At least 500w power supply, which is very important. The 2nd one I purchased had a 600w in it.In bios/cmos, you can toggle to performance vs. the default of energy savings mode :)The pci wireless card was a problem for me. WiFi great for all our devices except for these PCs. A $22 dollar usb 3.0 1200ghtz wireless dongle fixed all that – far far larger antennae. Now it’s lightning fast WiFi.USB 2 or 3 not labeled in the back and the color coding from the setup guide has a completely different set of colors – so not totally sure which is which. No red 3.1 ports. Two 3.0 on top of unit & are labeled 3.0. It’s the ones in the back – none are black which you’d think is 2.0. Of the 6 back there, there are 2 different colors of blue – none are labeled.1st unit bought: Set up guide doesn’t tell you you have to plug the graphics card in – you find out on first boot when you’re told to plug it in but then there’s no step in the instructions for what they mean – you have to figure it out for yourself.2nd unit bought: graphics card came already plugged in.I get a kick out of all the color combinations the case is capable of.Lots of cooling fans & it’s awesome that the fans on the top of the unit have a dust grill that’s easily removable for cleaning.Teenagers very happy with game play/graphics 🙂

Works great

I got this from my daughter to upgrade from what she had because she plays games that it required a better computer. So far there is no problems with us and everything runs fine.

Quality Product at a great price.

Once ordered the item shipped very fast. Item arrived in two layer box with extra packaging and padding inside. Tower had adequate instructions for set up and operation. Minimal bloatware installed. Clean build. Well done with wiring routing. Huge heat sink for the i7. Runs quiet. Easy to install additional ssd if want.Included keyboard and mouse quality products. Great feel with not a lot of excess noise. Antenna for wifi included.Nothing but good things to say about the PC. Picked up with $150 off coupon, that’s a h*ll of a deal.Thanks!

This pc is BOMB (good way)

Ok, so it arrived today and I will say I almost screamed on how fast this booted up. The updates were quick and painless and everything is really smooth, I’m enjoying the experience so far of having a beast pc. Now I know people say to build instead of buying prebuilt but this is a good starter pc to upgrade later on but at the start it’s already a beast so it’s the best bang for your buck.

Astonishingly beautiful! Great performance.

I’ll just like to clarify that I am in no way a gamer. I am going two years in through my Computer Science major, and I wanted a computer that would be able to handle the IDEs since my modular computer was not cutting it anymore. I wanted something inexpensive that was not over $1000, and something beautiful that wasn’t an antique, old school computer. This was my answer.Definitely recommend.

Amazing quality!

Im not too tech savvy and i was looking for a budget pre-built pc and this computer was perfect for what i wanted. It 100% holds up to all the qualifications for the games i play like gta5, and rainbow six siege. loving this pc so far and i recommend it to anyone looking for a budget pc to start out with.

Great for gaming

Easy to setup out of the box. All i needed to order was an extra hard drive for a little more disk space. Have only played the new modern warfare but I’ve been getting around 100fps consistently in warzone. I’m very satisfied with my purchase and am looking forward to making the transition from console. Would 10/10 recommend.

Very Happy

I agonized over what computer to buy to play specific video games (Baldur’s Gate 3, which is even in Early Access at the time of this review) and I chose this because it had the most bang for the buck in a visually pleasing package. It looks great, its quiet, it comes well packaged. I am very satisfied so far. Having only 500 gigs on the SSD is a concern but it has a slot right there to put another one in, though I am nervous about fishing through the hidden cables to find the correct plug ins.

Bang for your buck!

The media could not be loaded.

This is a great pc as far as bang for your buck goes. The Rgb is a nice added touch, the computer shipped in a reasonable amount of time and was really neatly and carefully packed.I read through some other reviews and I personally don’t find the fans to be so loud. It is a great addition to my gaming setup!

Amazing pc!

I actually received this pc thinking it was broken, but it actually wasn’t! The support people were so kind and helped me fix my problems immediately. They had an extremely quick response time, even over email, and helped me fix my pc. Overall the pc is pretty quiet and works for all my games. It’s amazing for the value, and if you’re scared to purchase because it’s a pre-built, don’t worry, this company is definitely trustworthy 🙂

Solid

This computer is a great prebuilt for people looking to jump into gaming/streaming. My personal model came with a ryzen 5 2600 and a pny 1660 6gig vram gpu, which is a perfect combination. Ryzen CPU’s love fast ram and this unit comes with 3000mhz ram with is fine for it. Has plenty of room for ssd upgrades which is lovely to see. Comes with 2 m.2 slots. The only thing to keep in mind with this product is that the gpu model varies. Mine came with a pny gforce 1660, which only has 1 display port and 1 hdmi and 1 vga, which is different from what the posting for this computer. When I found this out and asked them about it they offered a 50$ refund for the confusion which was really nice to see that they care. Overall this is a nice starter pc and will last you years if you arnt interested in having to upgrade.

Great PC So Far

From what I’ve been able to experience of this PC, it is great. I say that, because the main reason I bought it was to seriously upgrade what I was using so that I could better work from home during the Covid-19 pandemic. For that purpose, it has been wonderful. It boots quickly, and handles what I use it for perfectly. The included keyboard and mouse function very well, look nice and are comfortable to use (my one gripe is the placement of the backslash key and size of the backspace button). I love how internally it isn’t messy, given that it is a glass walled case. The LEDs on the case look nice and are a nice bonus. From what little actual gaming I’ve been able to do, it has been fantastic for what it is. Graphics are good, response time is fantastic, and everything does what it’s intended to do, and does it well. Can and will definitely recommend.

Great upgrade for our main home PC

This computer is exactly what we were looking for. There is still room to be desired for hard drive space but it is more than capable of being expanded for internal storage. We do not use it for gaming but rather for video editing and it has performed flawlessly so far. It has no bloatware which is a huge plus.Some others have said that they have had issues with the wireless connectivity but we have not experienced any issues. Our router is on our main level and about 100 feet away. I feel that if others are having issues that it is their router and not the included wireless card or antennas.We couldn’t be more happy with our purchase, it is definitely worth the purchase price. I would strongly recommend this PC to anyone who wants a fast PC that can handle almost anything you throw at it.

A Desperately Needed Upgrade

To preface this review, I was using an Aspire ATC-605-UR19 for a couple of years and I thought it could last me for a bit, but I could tell that my performance with my previous system was severely lacking over the years. I couldn’t do most of what I wanted with my previous PC and that was to play games, edit photos, and more and that was primarily due to the limited tech inside of the PC I had.So, to start, this is such a gorgeous PC. Unboxing it was quite a challenge since it was packed so firmly inside of the box, but I didn’t mind that since I was glad that it was hard to take out of the packaging. The tempered glass panel that allows you to look at the internals didn’t arrive broken and there was packaging inside to protect said internals once I was able to get it out of the box. The package included a keyboard, mouse, manuals for the motherboard and fans as well as a quick start guide. Set up was easy and I was so happy to get started using my new PC!The RGB fans as well as the lights in the front really help complete the look of the PC itself, which is really great for aesthetic value.Performance-wise, this PC blows my other one out of the water by a good percentage. Everything is so fast on it and the only slow downs I’ve experienced is when the SSD is getting close to full capacity. The games I play look great (for example: I could only play Sims 4 on my old PC at low to medium at best. Here I can play it on ultra) and there’s virtually no issues framerate-wise. I also have no issues when it comes to editing images, either.All in all, this was definitely a needed upgrade so that I can finally game with my friends and not have limitations when it comes to using my PC the way I want to. Thank you so much for giving me a quality product, Skytech!

6 Months Later

I love this thing. It’s served me not just in gaming but also general personal use and business. I try not to have long gaming sessions on graphically heavy games (I’ve played Helldivers 2 and Rage 2 pretty extensively on this thing) but the time I do play works pretty well. I don’t put games on too high graphics to keep my PC from exploding, but I have things looking pretty decently.Some things that keep me from giving this a perfect 5 would be the lack of a more detailed instruction guide. I understand that the nature of building PCs means that no two devices are exactly the same and therefore it’s more difficult to state exactly what devices you need instructions for, but I feel like there’s some basics that could be explained. For example, I had no idea how to access the fans BIOS with the instructions I did receive. (By the way, to do so, you have to restart your computer and then press the delete key multiple times as it’s booting up. I don’t quite know how to navigate this next menu set up, but that’s another issue.) There’s a blank button right next to the power button and I have no idea what it does. The instructions don’t communicate what this button is, but my desktop is probably different from yours.Also, with this computer came a keyboard and mouse. The keyboard is fine, though there has been some issues with it not properly connecting to the computer at times and the paint on the keycaps fading after just 6 months. And the mouse it came with was completely busted. This could have been a shipping issue, so I won’t blame it on the company, but my mouse did show up broken. Had to get a mouse from my local Walmart, but it’s doing great.Despite these issues, I still have had a lot of fun with my PC. Great product, decent price, and I haven’t found anything about it that has been a miserable slog.

High performance, good value, in an attractive case

After two weeks of use, this computer has excellent speed for opening multiple programs and windows with tasking the CPU, all in a very attractive case. It came very well packed. The computer was in packed inside of standard form protected cardboard box that isolated the CPU. However, what was highly desirable was that there was a foam insert INSIDE of the computer to prevent and shock damage to the internal computers. This was easily removed via the hinged glass side door designed for easy upgrading. The entire unit was encased in a protective bag to protect against scratches. The MSI graphics board came with one HDMI port and multiply display ports. At first I did not realize that there were display ports due to the fact that the ports were protected by plastic inserts. I am not a gamer and use it for office productivity. The included wired keyboard and mouse are well constructed and the keyboard lights up (or not depending on setting) that might be attractive to young gamers. I replaced the keyboard and mouse with Logitech wireless units. All in all an excellent value.

Ridiculously big case

I opened the box and there are no instructions, no manual, no quickstart guide, just a thing telling you to follow the quickstart guide. The Giant case has the power button on top which is the dumbest thing I have seen since the original IBMs that had the power switch on the far back side of the case. With all of that space, you’d think it has multiple bays for HDs, nope, there is one and I see no way in hell that a human could hook in a hard drive. After 2 hours of setting it up, I’m a little mad about this mess of a system and that I have to buy a dock to install my internal hard drive as a permanent external. And this glass side is stupid too, who designs these things? They can’t be human.

Absolutely love this PC!

This is my first PC that I’ve owned in years (I’ve used laptops in the years in-between) – and the first one I’ve bought with my own money!The installation was a little finicky at first, but it was probably because it took me a moment to realize where I needed to actually connect the monitor.After months of having the PC, I really do enjoy it, and for the price I paid, it’s absolutely perfect. Of course, I’ll be upgrading the SSD after some point, because there’s not as much room as I thought (being a variety streamer and having lots of games installed), but that’s my own fault lol.Also, the colors are changeable and super pretty!

Very very good

My reason for getting this pc WAS for games, amongst animation, drawing, etc and it does exactly that, I am highly satisfied with this computer and I definitely don’t plan on changing it or replacing it. I do have 1 draw back from this computer and it’s the fact that it doesn’t have 1Tb of storage, I’m more than halfway up using it, and I am going to buy more storage for the thing, but apart from that, if storage isn’t big on your list, then I would highly recommend this pc, came well wrapped, has the mouse and keyboard along with it, overall, I love this thing.

Great Value and Support is 5-Star

Bought this for my 13yo last Christmas who wanted a gaming computer. He LOVES this PC.. no issues with latency and digs the LED light show. 7 months later the HD went bad. I’d assumed would be a pain to deal with warranty service but I was wrong. Able to talk with a HUMAN (and in California no less) whom quickly helped us sleuth the issue and sent a replacement HD (better than orig) that arrived 2-days later.Highly recommend SkyTech.
