   Incredible value for the money (Average 70 fps on Assassins Creed Odyssey on 1440p ultra settings) – I bought the model with the Intel Core-i7 9700K and RTX 3060 Ti. On the morning I purchased it I was originally wanting to just get the 3060 to upgrade my old PC, and like so many others, I became very frustrated when it sold out in a matter of seconds, so I began looking for alternative methods of upgrading my PC. Eventually I decided on the Skytech Shadow 3.0, which at the time of my purchase was $1,515. I could not be any happier with this PC! I was upgrading from a computer I had built in 2017 with the NVIDIA GTX 1060. That build cost me right around $1500 as well, but the amount of bang for buck that this computer has is absolutely amazing. Userbenchmark has this build above 100% for all three categories, 132% for gaming. To give you an idea of its performance, when playing Assassins Creed Odyssey on 1440p with ultra settings, I am able to consistently stay above 60 fps. For a computer at this price point, that is practically unheard of. The fact that it has a 1 year warranty on it is also reassuring. I’ve seen some people complaining about the assembly or cable management, but mine arrived in pristine condition, in fact everything was tucked away so well it was difficult to add an additional hard drive, but not impossible. If you are searching for a gaming computer that gives you the best possible performance while still having a reasonable price tag, not to mention the fact that cosmetically it looks stunning, this is definitely the computer for you.

   INSPECT YOUR BUILD – This review is a as of now state. Computer shipped fast and arrived safe. Everything looked good and connected. Just as many of you did I also did extensive research to find a best deal for the money, and I arrived on this PC. However, I was cautious as something I saw more than a few times on the reviews was incorrect hardware installed rather than what was advertised. INSPECT your PC. Make sure all your components are exactly as they advertise. Mine was not… My PC was set to come with 16 GB of RAM it came with 8. Also, my keyboard had multiple dislodged keys upon arrival. The left shift key sticks and I’m not sure if I can fix it yet. To make it worse the computer will ship with a inspection form that claims your PC was looked over for hardware, connectivity and supposedly a full run-down check.

   A little Tweaking makes it perfect. – I don’t usually write reviews but I felt that this required one. Off the bat this is a good machine for the price. The GPU that came with it is a gigabyte RTX 3060 the MB is ASUS and the SSD is WD blue. Overall it’s a pretty solid machine. With some bios tweaking you can get the stock ram up to 3000MHz which is good and and bump the processor up by about 15% while maintaining stability. The 2 games I currently play the most are RDR2 and SWBF2 with the minor tweaks it will handle both those games at med high graphics settings, however by spending an extra 170 and getting some crucial vengeance 3600 32GB sticks. It becomes a whole new beast the biggest difference being the ability to get XMP to be able to run profile 2 which gets the full 3600 MHz out of the ram and gives you an extra 15GBs R/W from it. Both games now run smoothly at maxed out graphics. I did however try using 4 8gig sticks of crucial just to fill out all the slots it did not like that no matter how I set the XMP, timing or voltages the machine would not POST with all four slots in use I even checked each stick to see if any were bad. Overall definitely worth the price for a prebuilt gaming machine. Not a big deal but the way the RGB works is a little dumb. There is a button on the top that cycles through a preset pattern and for the GPU cooler there is a little box you have to find in the solid side cover that has a button on it to change that one. The MB has RGB control on it and I may eventually get some fans that can be controlled that way.

   Solid quality for decent price – I don’t review a lot of things on Amazon that I buy, but I felt this one deserved it. I don’t exclusively play PC games as I also have a PS5, so this review isn’t coming for a hardcore PC fanatic. For the money that you pay, you get an excellent piece of equipment. My only real complaint is that it only comes with 8 gigs of memory, which is not a whole lot these days, and a 500 gig ssd. I actually went out, and spent an extra $90 on 16 gigs. I’ve pretty much put it through all kinds of games, and it’s run beautifully, even before upgrading the ram that it came with. The fans are nice, and quiet. I absolutely adore the rainbow rgb that it comes with, but you can set it up to have whatever color that you want. So far though, I haven’t found a game that it couldn’t run. Most games can be run on ultra, but newer ones might have to be run at medium – high, which, for the price, is not bad at all. The case is much smaller than I expected so keep that in mind if you intend on switching out parts. All around though, I would highly recommend this pre-built if you are a casual PC gamer. Also, side note, the keyboard and mouse that came with it are of surprisingly good quality considering most of the keyboards and mice that ship with these pre built PCs. The keyboard has a dedicated rgb button with several different color schemes to choose from.
