    Bought this computer cause it seemed to look cool and affordable for the stuff it has and so far it’s been great. Only tried it out for a week so let just give you some tips that was wondering. Keyboard and mouse aren’t best but they’re functional that light up so that’s cool, the case glass open easily so it super easy to clean and upgrade if you chose too, not the best system but it does have a nice weight to it. And pretty Convenient Port plug ins so that a bonus. So far very happy with it

    Really great value. When my brother and I tried to custom build everything in this tower one at a time you couldn't do it for what Skywatch has done it for and is selling it for on bestbuy. I've had it for not quite a week yet and it's great. The only complaint is the SSD is a little small (500gb), but they aren't that expensive. The tower itself is really easy to get open and the RGB functions are really cool. I never thought I'd care about something like that until I had it. It came with a mouse and keyboard, also great and RGB too. All in all, great value and no major complains or issues.

    I bought this for video editing and it does the job splendidly. I am able to render video jobs in Davinci Resolve in record time (4k and 1080p). Fans are quiet and it was easy to add a mini ultra portable SSD directly on the motherboard. I love how all of the internals are on display and you can check the DUST levels inside your computer and keep it clean. It is not preloaded with a bunch of junk software. Well packed and I would buy again in a heartbeat.

    I did not want to get the typical wild neon monstrosity gaming rig but sometimes the value is too hard to ignore. And this definitely was an amazing deal. I looked up equivalent parts to this computer and it was not that much cheaper. If you don't have the time or inclination to put together your own computer but you'd like to be able to play games on the Ultra settings, this is your new best friend.

    Simple set up, everything runs smooth on it. Quick start up, easy multi tasking, good for games. No complaints thus far besides the peripherals. The mouse it came with died within 2 weeks. Contacted SkyTech customer service and they quickly sent out a new one. Recommend this PC for the price, parts are hard to find during COVID, this is a no brainer get it you won’t regret it.

    Great Specs for the price. I’ve had the computer for almost a month now, no issues. Immediately I installed a M.2 drive to the board for extra storage for my Steam games. I am by no means computer savvy, but installation is easy, as is formatting, with the education of a couple of you tube videos. And I still have space to install an additional SSD if need be!

    Such a great build for the price. Getting a 20xx card over a 16xx card is a much better investment because of DLSS and Ray Tracing, and the 2060Super has not let me down one built. Paired with the Ryzen 5 3600, this prebuilt is a beast at the price that’s up to date with the new consoles, as the new Ps5 has a 2060Super equivalent. Just be ready to fork out cash for an extra SATA cable and a HDD as the 500 gb included is tiny

    A much better built computer than I had expected. It's an amazingly beautiful computer with a lot of power. Very fast with room to grow. One of the best purchases I've made in 2020. Would definitely recommend. I've thrown a lot of my favorite games at it and it has not disappointed me. Totally worth the small investment. Would buy another one if this one ever fails, but I don't know. This computer looks to be around for the long haul...

    This pc is a great alternative to building your own. Taking into account the peripherals and copy of Windows, you can get this for the cost of the parts. The case is sleek and has room to add additional storage and memory, and looks pretty cool with the rgb panel and fans. I would definitely recommend.

    I did my research and the PC works perfectly for my needs. Before, I was planning on building it on my own but it turns out it would have been slightly more expensive to do it that way. So this worked out perfectly, all of the components are good quality. Also, there is enough room for upgradeability. I am extremely excited to work and game on this computer.

    I was looking for a new gaming PC in this price range. I had went online and began the process of assembling one to build myself when I came across this PC. The components were extremely close to what I was building and the price was actually a bit less with a warranty so I went for it. So far starting out it is the fastest computer I've ever owned. Startup and windows configuration took no time at all. I was loaded up and ready to start gaming within an hour. The included mouse and keyboard is useable and has RGB lights. So far the games I've tried are GTA 5, Microsoft Flight Simulator, and the Sims 4 which runs flawlessly in top settings. I also got this PC for HD video editing but having gotten to try much of that out yet. I will say pulling video from SD card and reviewing footage on this machine is a huge upgrade from my last computer. I would have liked it to have bluetooth an SD card reader and possibly USB C port instead of the wireless networking card. For a desktop I would prefer it to be hardwired to the network so a wireless card is useless to me. All in all I am completely satisfied with my purchase and would recommend to anyone looking for a gaming PC in this price range.

    2nd Skytech shadow I purchased this year. Got one for my teen.. and decided I wanted one! Worth every penny, has the power to run all my games on high settings.. VR Skyrim almost made me cry, so beautiful. Literally nothing bad I can say. Skytech service is located in California, and super responsive when I had a question.
