I bought this PC a month ago returned it within 2 days. It did not even include a power cord so i had to purchase one at my local computer store. I returned this PC because of how cheap the parts were inside and because it kept on crashing on me. The Amazon fulfillment centre in New Westminster is still processing my refund and it’s almost been a month. Very disappointed with how customer service cannot even escalate this return delay with the warehouse.

I bought this computer on July 11, 2023 and I’ve had two different issue relating to fans on the parts they chose.
The first one was one of the fans on the GPU staring making an audible clicking noise. I spoke to their support and manage to get a replacement, but I had to pay for shipping and customs out of pocket because I purchased the computer in Canada and Skytech is American based. I was a little irritated since the whole process took about 3 weeks before I got a replacement, but at least that was done. Now after around 9 months, one of the fans on the AIO Cooler is making an extremely loud and obnoxious grinding sound. After looking into what the model of the AIO cooler is (Deepcool LS720 SE), I discovered that this particular part uses a proprietary daisy chain connection, making replacing the fan myself a massive hassle. At this point, I’d rather just take the computer to a local PC repair shop because the idea of paying for shipping and customs again, while waiting almost another month if not more because of the faulty parts included in this PC isn’t appealing.

The PC performed as well as I expected it would but the quality of the parts leave much to be desired. I won’t be buying from Skytech again.

My initial plan was to get a budget gaming PC. While I was looking, I came across this gaming PC from Skytech. It was more expensive than I planned on paying for, but it was at an amazing price for what this computer has in it. I did a lot of research on the computer as well as this company since I’ve never really heard of them. After reading a lot of positive things about them, I decided to get it. Skytech claims that they use high quality brand name components. That is true as every part in this computer is from a well-known manufacturer. One thing you want to keep in mind is that they don’t use a specific brand for every computer they build. For example, while some will have an ASUS graphics card, another one will have a Zotac brand graphics card. There is no difference to how this card performs since they are both Nvidia RTX 4070 Ti. So even though the brands may be different, the specs and performance should be the same. If you happen to be loyal to a brand and only want parts from them, this might not be what you are looking for. When it arrived, I was very impressed with the packaging. Not only it was well protected outside, but they used special protection for the internals that kept them all well in place for shipping. There isn’t much as far as instructions go. It did include a keyboard and mouse, which wasn’t expected. They perform decent and there are better keyboards out there, but I still appreciate the fact that they did include them with the desktop. Setup was easy and quick. When everything was updated, it was ready to go! It runs quiet and does a great job of keeping cool! So here is the hard part. Who would I recommend this PC to? I honestly feel that this is perfect for someone looking for a mid-range PC that wants good productivity but great at gaming. If you’re in the market for that, then I would highly recommend this!

Here’s quick summary of what I liked and what I didn’t like about this purchase experience. Let’s start with the cons…

Cons:
*No quick guide included.
*No quick guide or manual for this model is available on their website.
*No fan installation instructions.
*”Gaming” computer only has 1 TB so they would HAVE to assume you’re going to install another gaming quality NVMe or SSD — but… (1) No m.2 screws were included despite including all the other motherboard screws including the standoffs. (2) You have to take the GPU out to install the second NVMe. And (3) the motherboard does not, I repeat, does NOT have an NVMe heatsink. Any NVMe you buy will need to include one.
*No SATA cables included.
*Off-brand no-name DDR4 RAM. I replace it with 32 GB DDR4 Corsair Vengeance.
*AIO power cycling problem I that had to troubleshoot.
*Not a lot of space for the cables and lots of them were shoved in the drive bays. Case covers barely fit back on and are bulging out slightly even with quite a bit of re-arranging and organizing

Pros:
*Decent and quiet RGB fans.
*MSI 1TB NVMe.
*Gigabyte motherboard and GeForce RTX 4070ti.
*Included keyboard and mouse (didn’t use but I’m glad they’re including one).
*Packaged well including internal case padding (which you have to remove).

In all, I spent about another $400 in extra parts to make this computer a sufficient gaming PC that would fully utilize a 4070ti. Skytech could have done this for about another $250.
