Great value for the money
I purchased this PC after doing about a month of research after my old Dell PC died. For the price range, the PC includes some pretty good specs (in my opinion) as a casual PC gamer (I figure hardcore gamers might need higher specs). I mostly just play Forza and other Xbox PC Gamepass games (non shooters) and this works well for that. From reading other reviews, it seems each PC might have different hardware given what Skytech uses at the time they build the PC but mine included the following: 240mm AIO cooler (not sure of the brand) with Skytech Logo on a mirror finish Gigabyte B560 DS3H AC Y1 motherboard (with built in WiFi) Gigabyte N3060 Gaming OC - 12GD video card (with 3 fans and ARGB side Gigabyte Logo) 1 TB Sata SSD - WD Blue 3D nand version mounted in the 3.5 drive area of the case 2 sticks of Oloy b-21 Raider DDR4 3200 8 GB Ram sticks (total 16GB) 3 InWin Jupiter AJ120 ARGB Fans (2 for the AIO radiator, 1 in the back of the case) Inwin P65F 650w Power Supply Skytech keyboard and mouse InWin case with Skytech branding and tinted side glass (the BestBuy picture makes it seem it is clear but my PC came with a tinted side glass panel) Ports could vary depending on motherboard, but mine came with: On PC Case: 2 usb 3.0 (Blue) ports on the top of the case Mic + headphone jacks on the top of the case On Motherboard backplate: 3 USB 3.0 (blue) ports, + 1 USB C port Another 2 USB (black) ports WiFi antenna ports (2x), Ethernet port, and audio ports The PC came well packaged in a Skytech box. Expanding foam was used inside the case to hold the components in which was a nice touch. The PC runs very quiet. I haven't stressed it hard enough for it to increase the fan load but I mainly just use it for home PC use other than the Forza gaming mentioned earlier. I like how the graphics card fans can sit idle until the card gets stressed enough to turn them on which make the unit quieter. The RGB funtions are also a nice touch. In my PC, the 3 fans, the front panel logo/power button and the AIO cooler are all connected so changing the RGB options change them together while the video card RGB can be changed separately. I can control the fan/AIO and graphics card settings with RGB Fusion 2.0 software. The Fans/AIO/Front panel (but not the graphics card) can also be changed with the InWin RGB controller inside the case with a click of a button but those have predetermined color settings and and limited lighting effects. I did have to fix some things before I starting using the PC, which buyers should also look out for. - One of the ram sticks was not engaged all the way in the motherboard. I checked this because even with the expanding foam, I thought things might get jarred during shipping and I was right. It was in the slot, but not pressed in all the way. For someone who didn't know to check, this might cause the PC not to run properly. - There was also a loose screw in the case. I looked all around and I couldn't figure out where it went so I just took it out and saved it with the extra screws/hardware that came in the box. - The HDD activity light wasnt wired correctly. Not sure if they do this on purpose (to keep the light off) or if it was a mistake, but the HDD activity light was plugged in the wrong way in the motherboard which made the light not work. I just reversed the polarity and the light works properly now (the light is the little pin hole cutout below the power button/ Front panel lighted logo). - When I purchased the PC, Windows 11 was not out yet but it was listed as Windows 11 Ready. But when I ran the PC health check from Microsoft, it said it wasn't compatible. I had to enabled secure boot in the bios and then also change the boot drive partition from MBR to GPT. It was easy after a web search on how to do it but still kinda annoying I had to do it myself vs it being done so it would be Windows 11 ready out of the box. I was also disappointed in BestBuy for listing the wrong specs (at my time of purchase, it seems to have been fixed now). When I bought the PC, the specifications said it came with a 750w power supply, but when I went to add my own ssd drive and opened the case, it had only a 650w power supply. This seems to be a BestBuy problem however, since the shipping box states it has a 650w power supply. It was frustrating I couldn't get an answer because BestBuy support kept transferring me over and over again "to a specialist who could help me" while trying to rectify the issue. Overall I am please with this PC. For my needs as an everyday Pc and occasional casual gaming it works for me. The price was right and the components feel higher quality than the prebuilt Dell/Hp units. I like that the parts are "off the shelf" and not proprietary so I can make upgrades to the PC in the future.

Components paired well
Packed beautifully! For son’s 17th B-day. No bottle neck on his favorite PC games. The I-7 Intel paired with the RTX 3060 does the trick for the FPS on his 144Hz monitor. Best Buy offered a competitive price for this sleek looking Skytech gaming PC. Great cooling due to the generous multiple fans. The white case with the removable smoke tint front glass (easy access for future upgrades) let’s my teen admire the components and place a bobble head character inside. Gained some good Daddy points! Excellent investment. Would definitely recommend!

this pc runs good but the SSD came messed up.
i would definitely recommend this desktop to a someone. i run asseto corsa, rainbow six siege, fortnite, gta five m rp, and many more games that people would buy this pc for. they run very smoothly with the good specs on this pc, but the only problem was that the ssd download speed was very slow. i have amazing wifi speeds if 1000mb a sec and restarted everything, check my speed and connection, but that wasnt the problem. the SSD was the problem, it only gets 1% of usage. but overall this is a great pc if your starting to game alot.

So far, pretty great!
Would give more of a 4.5/5 due to the one major issue I talk about later. There were additional cables if you want to add additional storage and there is plenty of opportunity to upgrade. The system comes with antennae to screw in the back to have wi-fi and is already bluetooth enabled. The computer also comes with a program to change the color on the cooler and fan, but doesn't have it's own performance software (I ended up using CPUID HWMonitor). The only issue I had was about 2 weeks in, I started getting stuck in BIOS loops. The SSD showed on the BIOS menu, but Windows would not boot, and I would have to restart a few times before I could get to the Windows login. I haven't had this issue since then though. Generally, Windows boots up really fast, applications load pretty quickly and stay cool even when gaming (40C for idle and 60C max for gaming). This machine came with a keyboard and mouse as well, which are decent. There were a few cosmetic scratches on the keyboard, but they are okay substitutes if you don't have anything else. Here are the specs I got: mobo: Gigabyte B560m DS3H AC gpu: Zotac Gaming RTX 3060 psu: Apexgaming AG-750 80+ Gold ram: 2x8GB OLOy B-21Raider storage: 1TB Western Digital SATA SSD General SkyTech AIO cooler and 120 mm Jupiter InWin ARGB fan
