A Great buy and looks easy to upgrade, Highly Recommend
(9 months later update later in review and is indicated)-before I say anything a big thing for me is dose this support WiFi, and yes, it dose. it includes a modern antenna that you connect to the motherboard, so you do not have to have it next to your router-As someone looking to buy a PC with little to no previous experience it can be scary, I know so first I'm going to start by saying it isn't scary at all, with a 30 day return policy and awesome customer support there is no risk and I this is a great option for entry level PC gamers and gamers looking to upgrade from there old rig. with enough power to run modern games on ultra 1080p 60 fps or higher. I personally haven't used VR on it but based on how it handles standard mouse and keyboard games. I'm able to get max settings on fortnite at any-ware from 100-120fps most likely more than your monitors refresh rate can utilize. I run BO3 at max settings 60+ fps (probably can handle much more just haven't tried) although I haven't really looked into the performance of the following games I've played on it: Rainbow Six Siege, Mincecraft, And CSGO they run as expected- very smooth with no noticeable dip in performance. As far as setup goes its as simple as plugging the display cable into your graphics card and monitor, plunging it in, and boom, your welcomed by windows 10 and ready to start gaming. the included keyboard has beautiful RGB lights (as you can see in the picture included in this review) and the mouse, honestly haven't used it at all and cannot recommend that because I just hate wired mouses so I bought my own and it arrived at the same time. for upgrades, I havent really messed with it myself, but there is potential and I'm waiting on this SSD I'm watching to go on sale, in the second photo provided there would normally be a black metal wall there but you can remove it with twist-able pins on the back (if you can twist them because there too tight, you can also use a screw driver) you will also need a SATA data cable to connect to the mother board on the other side of the case were the glass window is, and unless you want to rearrange all the cables, get a SATA power extension cable because the second cable is in a weird spot. it should be noted that there is no second tray for extra SSD but its all digital- no moving parts, so the only concern would be heat but they really don't generate all that much. as for ram, the only other thing I would really recommend upgrading unless your really hard core, should be an easy install to, because there is a second slot for it. when I opened the Bios it actually picked up my ram stick as DDR4 2600MHz, but the amazon listing said it was DDR4 3000MHz, I'm not sure if this matters but I'm just putting it out there in case you wanted to upgrade the ram, I would check the bios yourself (do this by spamming the "Del" key when you reboot your PC)In conclusion, this is the best cost to value PC I could find and I would highly recommend to any one looking to buy a gaming PC or someone trying to find a affordable PC to buy as a gift that can handle all the latest games with ease-Update approximately 9 months later-My knowledge on computers has exponentially increased since I wrote this review some time November 2019 I feel obligated to update this review now as more of a experienced pc user compared to then especially. I purchased this pc for $660 At the time it has since rose in cost (as I somewhat expected the price was insanely good at that time) maybe this price will drop back down sometime I couldn’t tell you that. But I will address some things that have become prevalent after I wrote this review. Unfortunately there is a tiny bit of cpu bottlenecking, when I am running high impact games such as modern warfare, Minecraft shaders, ext. I’ve had a few issues of crashing but honestly nothing too concerning usually I’m doing something stupid that will force it to crash I’ve since expanded my storage (and here comes my main issue aside from the price increase) expanding storage is jank. No other way to put it than that. Unless you are installing an ssd, putting another hdd (or in my case 2) is jank. Plain and simple. Storage upgrades are going to be a must with only about 375 usable gigs out of the box. I salvaged an old 600gb hdd from a externally old pc sitting in my basement and set it up. The issue is there is no where to put the hdd, to I set it up on top of the little spot where the ssd is located in-front of the front fans, everything fit ok, and it was manageable. But I simply needed more space. I opted to buy a 8tb Seagate hdd. Installed it sitting on top of the other hdd this time it didn’t for so well and had to awkwardly jam it in. The build functions fine but now looks very ugly so if you are planning on putting in more than one drive I would definitely reconsider, but this shouldn’t be a big deal for most people and it’s my fault for wanting almost 10tb if drive space. In conclusion this is still a good buy for someone looking into a starter gaming pc, and a good buy for someone who is sick of paying for ps plus or Xbox live and wants an upgradable build with more multitasking capability’s. I don’t know if this is mentioned somewhere else but I also added another stick of ddr4 2600 ram and it works great I would buy this build at 700 or less, otherwise I would look into going custom or next gen consoles

Amateur Beginner Gamer - GREAT Beginner Gaming PC
I've been using this PC for a little over a month now, and I've had a great experience with it so far.I'm too lazy to include pictures, but it looks pretty much identical to those included by other reviewers.As a beginner gamer, I don't have many gaming requirements, but this PC has been sufficient for some of my graphic-/performance-heavy games, such as AC Odyssey.I originally spent about 6 months deciding on a gaming rig, and settled on this one because it had a medium-grade processor, good NVIDIA graphics card, and decent SSD memory.The RAM was also sufficient, but I decided to upgrade it to two 8GB RAM in case I decide to expand my gaming library. It helps that RAM aren't too expensive these days. I contacted SkyTech's Tech Support to ask them for recommendations on appropriate RAM to purchase, and they were quick and polite to reply with reasonable options.No issues with any of the hardware - they were all tightly inserted.Fans are quiet upon startup and when in use for a long period of time.Startup is also very quick.Extra Pros:- RGB Lighting - multiple options, multiple colors, and one button for simple adjustment- Keyboard and Mouse - didn't need, but doesn't hurt to have an extra lying around- No bloatware installed - didn't need to worry about cleaning up anything useless that might take up space- Excellent packaging - there was no way it could get damaged during shipping- Cheaper now (11/11/19) than when I bought it, so it's definitely even more worth getting it now than before!Things to Note:- Make sure to only connect monitors to the graphics card, which was noticeably labeled by a sticker. I have one monitor connected by HDMI and another by DP (required me to purchase a cheap HDMI to DisplayPort adapter). Another input option is DVI.- There is no CD-drive, so if you have anything you want to install via CD, purchase an external CD drive that can connect via USB.- Pay attention to instructions for unloading it and turning it on the first time. It's nothing difficult, but there are steps that may be easily overlooked.
