Great for Gaming and Development But Too Expensive

I'm not one to typically buy prebuilds. But, given the market for 3000 series RTX's, as well as a new job that required me (and allowed me) to get a serious rig upgrade, I had no time to wait for a Newegg shuffle or something along the lines. That being said, as someone who typically builds his own computers, the build quality leaves nothing to be desired.
Nothing really needs to be said about the component list. a Ryzen 7 5800x, an RTX 3070, 16gb RAM, a terabyte SSD, all liquid cooled. If you're looking for a capable gaming and development machine, this one checks all of those boxes. The only issue I've had is the motherboard failing post with a Vive Pro 2, but that's a bios update that needs to be released, and there have been no other issues with the motherboard.
She runs cool. I sometimes run 3 or 4 VR environments when working, and I've yet to see the GPU temp rise above 60 degrees. My old rig (emphasis on old) ran around 85-90 at all times, so the liquid cooling system makes a serious difference. Not to mention, at the time of writing this review, it's the dog-days of summer, so now would be the time of year to overheat.
The build quality was great, as well! I've heard horror stories of wires organized so poorly they cut themselves in transit, as well as people who burn out there CPUs due to an utter lack of thermal paste. I took the due diligence of reviewing the build quality before plugging it in, and I wouldn't have even organized the wires as well as they did. The thermal paste between the heat sync and CPU was perfect, and the PC was out of the box ready to run, minimal invasion required.
I wish I could say this is a five star PC, and I wish I could say I'd recommend this specific listing. It runs incredibly, checks all the boxes for a high end PC, and even has an RTX 3070 in it. However, the price due to the market is far too high. At a high estimate, building this rig would be around $1700 if you bought the parts at retail. At the time of my purchase, I paid $2550, nearly $800 over part price, and even at its current discounted rate of about $2100, you're still at $400 over retail. Of course, all gaming PCs are suffering from the component shortage, and all prebuilds have a premium attached to them because they're already assembled, so I'm not really upset and I knew how much I was overpaying when I got it.
TL;DR:
Great PC! Overpriced, but everything is right now. A great buy and reliable build quality if your workplace is compensating you for part of the purchase.

I received this product on July 9. Since Skytech doesn't provide specifics of the hardware, I'm providing that here. Note that just because these were the components in MY Siege desktop, doesn't necessarily mean you'll get the exact same. With that said, it should give you an idea of the type of hardware you'll get.
EVGA RTX 3070
ASRock X570 TAICHI Motherboard
Gigabyte P750GM 80 Plus Gold 750W Power Supply
2 x TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z 8GB DDR4 3200 CL16-20-20-40 1.35V
Thermaltake S300TG Mid Tower Case
Seagate FireCuda 520 SSD 1TB
It booted up without issues and I've been spending the last hour or so installing programs / apps / etc. . No issues.
I didn't want RGB lighting, but I admit it looks pretty neat. Since the case front is very conservative, it doesn't look too goofy.
Still too early for a true review, but I know if you're reading this, the components is probably what you're most interested in. YOU'RE WELCOME!

Got this build mainly to play Warzone and it handles that absolutely no problem. I don’t stream but I’m sure you could with this and not run into any problems. Typically average 140+ FPS at 1440p.
I will add my build came without a keyboard but I reached out to Skytech directly and 10 minutes later they are sending me one. On screen keyboard with the mouse is easy enough for the handful of times I need a KB. I got the Taichi MB set another poster mentioned (everything exactly the same). Possibly a touch overpriced in a normal market but this isn’t a normal market.
