Customers are satisfied with the Shadow Gaming Desktop's performance and its excellent price-to-performance ratio. Many appreciate the easy setup and the included graphics card, which delivers high frame rates in various games. However, some users found the storage capacity to be insufficient and reported issues with the power supply and fan noise in a few instances. The case design and its features were generally well-received.

    The ryzen 5 3600 cpu along with the 2060 super graphics card works like magic. I get good high quality graphics on hard to run games with great FPS. In most shooter games, I’m getting incredibly high frames along with high settings for graphics. If you are looking for a prebuilt I highly recommend this one.

    Got this system for my little brother and gosh it’s been amazing for him so far. The only thing holding back the system is the storage but nothing a quick install of 1tb hard drive can’t fix

    Everyone recommended me building a PC but I did not have the funds. You definitely get more bang for your buck on this! I've had it for a few weeks and it has been running smoothly with the gaming and streaming I have been doing. Highly recommend for someone looking for their first gaming PC!

    I was very excited to receive this after months of research for my first Gaming PC. So far it runs pretty well. However, after checking the parts I discovered the PSU is bottom of the barrel. It is an HEC 700TD-5WX, good luck finding any kind of review on it but they are known for being faulty and just overall terrible. The CPU Cooling Fan is also off-brand / can't find it anywhere for sale. Called "Cooler One", (not even the stock AMD fan that should come with the CPU) and my CPU pushes into the 90 Celsius range while playing Warzone. I will be replacing these parts soon as to avoid any possible damage. The GPU is at least an MSI 2060 Super Ventus GP OC so thats a plus. Over all I would probably suggest spending about $200 more on another pre-built or build it yourself. That way you will at least know what parts you are getting even if you spend just a little more.

    Bought this computer a few weeks ago and it is fantastic. I added another SSD but other than that I have not had to do anything to the PC. Runs Red Dead Redemption 2 at the highest settings just fine as well as other games

    I purchased this PC to casually play a few games and I'm very happy with it! It runs every game I play very nicely, and I find the PC itself very aesthetically pleasing. If you're looking to upgrade your PC and not break the bank, can't go wrong with this one!

    If you wanna build your own pc, go ahead. This is alright if you wanna start with a mid gaming pc. But you can get more bang for you bucks if you build your own because 500g that this provides ain’t it.

    This computer checks all the boxes if you want to get into gaming or anything. The price for this product is unbeatable. I spent three months looking for a better deal and was never able to find anything close to this. I did look at HP omen 30L, however the customization wasn’t the same as compared to this computer. My only con is that it takes long to boot up, 25 seconds. Nevertheless, it shouldn’t deter you from buying this PC. Sky tech gaming is a superb company, that doesn’t seem to get the same recognition as other PC building sites such as NZXT. Sky tech all the way.

    I was a little nervous about spending the money on a prebuilt PC, But i did not need to worry. This PC has handled everything ive done and handled it extremely well. I could not be happier. I would certainly buy this PC if you want a prebuilt that is decent.

    This is a awesome gaming computer. My granddaughter absolutely loves this. She has had no issues whatsoever and has no issues playing any of her games. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a good gaming system. For the price, you can't beat it..

    Easy setup. Has all the bells and whistles. Had to go to the Skytech website to get the Quick setup guide, but it was easy to follow. Just set it up for a young teenager today. The teenager is happy! Used Best Buy curbside pickup. That is awesome!

    Great tower, runs games and does everything I need. Bought to play WarZone and Baulder's Gate 3. Both run beautifully with no issue what-so-ever. Only upgrade was to throw another SSD in for more storage. Do yourself a favor and buy this PC.

    Does good for average games, never could get GTA to play and still have no clue why after months. But it plays warzone and streams perfect for the average person.

    This gaming PC is perfect for my gaming needs. I can play Red Dead Redemption 2 at max settings with absolutely no issues at all. I couldn't believe the difference it made. I imagine these specs will be good for years to come. Part replacements also seem to be quite simple when the time comes for it. I appreciate the great deal on this product.

    runs all games i've played great, and am currently trying to get an internal hard drive since 500gb is a bit low, everything else is amazing for the price considering covid has driven individual pc part prices up.
