    My experience with this desktop

    This is truly a great desktop for those wanting to get into gaming and/or graphic design and beyond since it's graphics card is right now one of the best out there on the market. If you do end up buying and use if for like gaming for more then 16 hours per day I'd recommend swapping out the power supply from a 650w to a 850w to avoid any problems in the future that you might end up using more power then you think. Maybe even some more ram if you like a nice upgrade. In the picture above i had upgraded my ram to a nice 32gb, i cant really add more since the motherboard won't take that much Mhz.

    Lots of available bays and ports

    This machine invites you to add components. There are plenty of bays and electrical connections. The lead dress is superb. On the transparent side of the case you see two internal bays that serve 2.5" or 3.5" devices or drives. At the bottom back you see three more 3.5" slots (no rails). The third photo shows the opaque side of the case with the extra power supply connection tucked at the top. Your primary SSD is on the motherboard. SATA ports 1 through 4 are found at the bottom edge of the motherboard. The manufacturer cannot guarantee which motherboard and GPU will be available but the exact configuration will be on two labels of the shipping box. Be sure to save these labels for your documentation.

    Good computer. The knob on the door was broken so the door doesn't close. Other than that, it's a good computer. I like that it has 6 USB ports because I use the computer for multiple things.

    Solid Gaming PC w/ Minor Issues

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I bought this PC a little over 2 years ago, and it has mostly treated me well and I don't regret the purchase. My biggest issue was the PSU that this came with. In the first month that I had this PC, I was having frequent issues with the computer waking itself up from sleep, and also occasionally it was just shutting off spontaneously with no warning. I "solved" this issue by buying an interruptible power supply to plug it into, so that the power supplied to the PSU would be more constant. This helped a great deal, and was sufficient for about 18 months, and then the computer started crashing (with a blue screen) at random times. I troubleshooted this for a couple weeks, and basically ruled out everything except for that PSU. I replaced the PSU with a fancy Corsair one a few months ago, and have had zero problems since then, so I'm confident that's what the issue was. Other than that, the power button on the case is a little annoying in that it is overly easy to press, so you may shut down the computer unintentionally, which is kind of a silly design. And it could use some extra USB ports, in my opinion.

    Free 3600 MHz RAM Upgrade and a 120mm Watercooler?

    |

    Overall, I'm very pleased with this purchase. In this review, I'm going to tell you which exact parts I received as that was what I wanted to know the most before buying. RAM: OLOY 16GB 3600 MHz (This is not what was advertised, it's much better! The listing advertised 3000 MHz. This is a big upgrade. Just make sure to turn on D.O.C.P. or X.M.P. in your UEFI to take advantage of it. Also, it looks exactly like the picture. Black and gold RAM with no RGB) CPU: Ryzen 3600 exactly as advertised. This is a great CPU! Graphics Card: PNY GeForce RTX 3070 8GB UPRISING Dual Fan (This is not the one in the picture but I'm very happy with it. It is a 2 fan model but is VERY quiet and stays cool, probably due to the fact that it is very thick and has good airflow. It also overclocks well. I OC'ed it by +200 MHz for the memory clock and +100 Core Clock. I also increased power limit to 109% and temperature to 90. It never gets over 70 in this configuration and it's very fast. No RGB or lights at all on this model.) PSU: InWin 650W 80 Plus Gold (It's modular) Motherboard: ASRock B450M/ac (Same as pictured. It's cheap but works great and has a nice UEFI. Also, it has Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.) CPU Cooler: 120mm watercooler (In the picture, it does not have a water cooler, but mine came with one! It's even ARGB.) Fans: InWin (Exactly as pictured. They're ARGB.) Case: InWin 101 with custom logo (Exactly as pictured. Again, ARGB. The SSD/HDD trays are removable which is nice. I put a SATA SSD in and it's easy.) SSD: 1TB NVME Western Digital Blue (Not what was pictured, as it's from a bigger brand.) The mouse and keyboard were Skytech and not bad for "free." I think that's all the stuff that matters to most people. Conclusion: RAM was better and CPU cooler was better. GPU was PNY, others got Gigabyte according to Amazon's similar item. The only con I have is that the cable management could use some work. If it really bothers you, you'll have to fix it yourself. Oh yeah, and hold the power button for a couple of seconds to turn it on. It takes longer to press than my other computer.

    Computer works great. Skytech Tech is non-existent

    I've had this computer for 11 months and it has a few issues that I've had to resolve since I can't get a answer from Skytech. First, if your gaming heavily with maxed out settings on the 3070 video card I was getting a popping / crackling from the onboard audio about 10-15 minutes in. To solve this problem I installed USB sound adapter and turned off the onboard sound, I had to do this because the 3070 video card blocks the second and only other slot on the motherboard so the USB audio was the only option. Second, the computer came with a water cooler instead of a fan cooler (which is shown on the picture) for the CPU. Most people would be happy with this, I have two issues with this. First, when the CPU is under load the water cooler sounds like a lawn mower. Second, if the water cooler ever decides to start leaking that 3070 video card is toast.

    I ordered this computer for pick up at my local bestbuy the specs were good for the price at $1700 plus tax and 3 years of insurance which came out to $2100 plus. Overall the packaging was nice came protected with a huge box along with foam on side for impact also wrapped in a bag. And there was foam in computer to protected moving parts. And extra tools as well if you want to upgrade stuff. All you have to do is take out foam from inside of pc and connect power cable and cool mouse and keybaord thats included. Some parts are cheap like the 650 gold cable and the SSD storage. But overall for price good. The negative 1 star comes here when i couldnt log in or make my account on windows. Even after trying to hard reset i couldnt fix it. Went to best buy and it wasnt covered for geek sqaud you have to have the 2 year memebership pc fix for it. Bruh anyways i paid for ir and upgraded the ssd slot as well and even the power to an 850! $500 bucks right there for all that lol im taking L's anways waiting to see when i get my pc back as they have to keep ot there until monday till they upgrade and fix it.

    I purchased the Skytech Gaming AZURE Desktop 2 years ago and I couldn't be happier! The combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 processor and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 graphics card delivers exceptional gaming performance. With 16GB of memory and a speedy 1TB NVME SSD, this PC handles multitasking effortlessly. The sleek black design is a bonus. It's a top-notch gaming machine that exceeds my expectations every time I power it on. Highly recommended for any avid PC gamer!

    Just got it today. And Im very impressed. I am into computers and had to get one due to my old rig dying. Hesitant to buy a new system. But bit the bullet. The computer came in a bit ealier than expected which was a plus. It also had no signs of damage when I did my initial ispection. All cables were good. Also had the inflatable foam to protect the inner systems. The cable management was top notch. What most impressed me was that it had instructions in case it didnt work which I almost never see. The system had no bloatware. The peripherals were neatly packaged. And it looks like it was inpected by a technician before it was shipped. Impeccable. I thoroughly recommend this company. And if ever my family or friends need one I will know who to tell them to look to.

    This PC is so great, there was no bloatware, nothing came in damaged. The only thing that was annoying was that the GPU was in a place where it was hiding the sata port, so I wasn't able to plug in new hard drives until I moved it, but other than that its such a worthy purchase!

    Fantastic at 280 FPS in fortnite so far

    Been running 280 fps on fortnite with performance mode on and settings on high and epic. This is my first PC as the xbox series x is trash and I finally gave up on them. I just bought an Acer 390 hz monitor for 500. Gonna try to push fortnite to 360fps and lower some in game settings when it gets here. I don't know if the rtx 3070 and ryzen 5 3600 will be able to handle it but the hottest the gpu has gotten has been 54 degrees C (I don't use any of the RGB because I'm not 10 and light produces heat.) I hope the cpu doesnt bottle neck it or vis versa. (Don't know if i said that right.) If I can edit this I will let you know if i was able to consistently hit 360fps in fortnite. I hope its doable and i didn't get a 390hz monitor for nothing! I know nothing about computers!!!

    The computer performs very well. The setup instructions are the only thing I can knock it for. Although my keyboard had scuffs and scratches with missing paint on some of the keys. The 3 large fans on this are almost silent. They can barely be heard even when on high. Startup time is incredibly fast as well. Don't think twice, pull the trigger because this one is a keeper!

    PC's Great, Little too pricy when I bought it

    I've been using this computer for about a month and I hope to clear up some confusion. This computer is good, I bought it for 2k dollars and no issues out the box, the only thing that confused me a little was the WIFI antenna's I wish this has a USB C Port but that's fine, I just had to buy like a 5 dollar adapter off amazon, but otherwise its fine, Now to the spec's, This computer is great price for an MSI 3070, considering their prices and the MSRP. Some people have claimed about getting free upgrades, thats not really the case atleast not for me. This PC runs perfectly with the 1Tb SSD and I have no space issue's at the moment after installing all my games. (i still have 200 gb with warzone installed) I've played some really CPU and GPU intensive games like Arma 3, and Warzone, This Computer runs perfectly! The only thing you would need to consider is the price, I bought this for 1,800 dollars and wish the price was a little lower, but since this GPU Crisis thats almost inevitable for a PC of this quality. All in All, This PC Is amazing, even with the price being a little too high, I would recommend this to a friend!
