Skytech Gaming Azure Gaming PC, Intel i7 13700F 2.1 GHz, RTX 4070 Ti, 1TB NVME, 32GB DDR5 RAM RGB, 850W Gold PSU Wi-Fi, Win 11 Home, RGB-Keyboard and RGB-Mouse Included

I have used computers for a long time so I wouldn't consider myself a beginner in that regard but it's my first gaming pc. This is a monster pc, the fans are quiet, and it can run vr with ease. The only downside is that it was advertised with windows 10 which is one of the reasons I chose this one but it came with windows 11. Other then that it's perfect. The fans are quiet and the cooling is still very good. There is also a lot of areas for upgrades with storage for example. There is an extra m.2 slots as well as 2 extra unused ssd sledsUpdate after 1 year: I replaced the cpu cooler and discovered that there was zero thermal paste that was applied. That is simply unacceptable and inexcusable. However other then that I haven't had any other issues.

When it first arrived I was stuck in the BIOS screen. Contacted support and they told me that some connections inside can come loose during shipping, and sure enough–the smaller cable to the SDD had come off. Re-attached and all good to go!Runs well, maxed out all the settings on: Ark, Witcher 3, WoW, and heavily graphically modded Skyrim. All stay well above 60fps and all have ray tracing. (yes, WoW does indeed have ray tracing)I do have a little bit of a cricket chirp whine coming from the tower whenever I'm playing something a bit graphic intense that can be slightly irritating if the room is quiet. If there's any game/background noise at all it can't be heard though so most of the time it's unnoticeable.

Purchased for my 10 year old. For this price point, great performance for the games he plays. This will cover well for the next few years. Shipping got delayed a week, but when arrived it was packaged well. Start up and set up was quick and easy. Lighting is a cool feature.

I just received the variant that has the Ryzen 5 3500 and RTX 2060. Will try to remember to update this review if anything comes up. If not updated, assume this machine is chugging along!Also make *absolutely certain* you pay attention to what you're buying. For example: under the same listing as this machine you can grab a variant with a 3060ti and nvme ssd. It'll actually say it in the product details. If the variant you're buying doesn't specify this, assume you're getting a SATA SSD.PROS:+ Case is great. No more unscrewing just to dust. It's a hinge, so gently unlock and open.+ Pretty good brand components. I knew I was getting a SATA SSD with this variant, and got a Western Digital Blue.+ No bloatware save for one thing+A RTX 2060 is more than enough to get you through most of today's games. Nvidia is even considering mass producing this particular card again to help folks get ray tracing. So if you can get this build around $1000-$1200, you're not going to beat that with the current GPU shortage.+ Comes with a folder that has contact information, a quick start guide, and a troubleshooting guide. As well as maintenance tips for those unfamiliar with keeping up a desktop. So nice for first timers!+ There was some packing inside the case itself to keep everything from jostling which is a good thing.+ Very quiet. Then again I only played an MMO while testing, but it was practically silent on my end. Maybe if you play Cyberpunk or something it'll be a bit louder.+ I actually like the keyboard it came with. I won't personally use the RGB, but the keys are snappy enough.CONS:- The amazon delivery packaging was *awful.* I can see why there's some reviews complaining about the tempered glass door being broken. My PC was put in a box nearly double the length of the PC's product box, without much beyond a sheet of really thin paper tucked in there. It absolutely shifted around (so thank heavens there was packing inside the product box).- The one thing that seems to be bloatware is the program installed to control the RGB lights. It just flat out doesn't work (that I can find). You change the lights through a button on top of the case, so it's useless and a pretty safe uninstall.- No DVI input for older monitors. I was lucky and had a spare HDMI chord on hand, but do keep in mind what your monitor needs before you commit to this.- When I bought this it was brought down to $1300 from nearly $1800. The GPU shortage is nuts, and this prebuilt has been delightful my first night working with it. But it absolutely is *not* an $1800 PC. If it's closer to $1000-$1200 consider getting it. I went in because of the sale and my old rig was having multiple hardware failures (thus, bit of an emergency).

Skytech gaming did an amazing job with the “Shadow” build! Very impressed!Mine came as promised with a Gigabyte RTX 2060 6gb graphics card, an Asus motherboard with a Ryzen 5 processor and beautiful RGB lighting that you can change sequence with the click of a button. Perfect for live-streaming. Perfect for video editing! Thanks Skytech! 👍🏻

The media could not be loaded. BUYER BEWARE!!! Broke in 1 year with very light usage DO NOT BUY!!!It has been only 1 year and 2 months. It won't turn on anymore. When I press the power button, it turns on for a second and shuts down immediately.CUSTOMER SERVICE:*Update 8/30* I have spoken to customer service today. It took me 2 hours to get customer service. I called them, emailed them, and sent a chat email. At last, I received a call from Nathaniel C. He was very friendly and helpful. He sent me instructions on what to check. We went thru the instructions. Unfortunately, it is NOT the power supply. I have an expensive surge protector. All of my other older computers are fine (different brands).*update* 8.31 They emailed me. Because it is outside of their warranty period. They are not going to fix it. Which I understand... I am bummed out and angry. Who could blame me?IS IT WORTH THE MONEY: NO NOT AT ALL!!!I invested so much money on this computer. This is the worst experience I have ever had with a computer.1. I paid for more than what is listed on amazon right now. YEAH. I'm not talking about sale price either. They price gouged me.2. I barely got to use this computer. It is lightly used. BROKEN!!IS IT REALLY WORTH THE RISK? NO NO NOI am trying my best to write a fair review. Overall, I am just full of regret. I am never buying from them again. I wish I read the reviews and took the negative ones more seriously ESPECIALLY when it comes with a video or picture proof. THAT is how you know it is a real review.Please DO NOT BUY THIS COMPUTER! I wish someone told me not to. Spend your money some place else! DON'T RISK IT!
