[Ryzen & GTX 1060 Edition] SkyTech Archangel Gaming Computer Desktop PC Ryzen 1200 3.1GHz Quad-Core, GTX 1060 3GB, 8GB DDR4 2400, 1TB HDD, 24X DVD, Wi-Fi USB, Windows 10 Home 64-bit

For those who didnt see my first review, it was along the lines of "PC wont game, and dont know whats wrong, please HALP!". Well, Skytech Support came through and HALPED! PC arrived with a bad graphics card. Display would shut off after any moderate stress, so basically if playing any modern game. Sometimes, I couldnt even make it to the game itself before it went black. After extensive testing and troubleshooting with Skytech, they arrived at the conclusion that it was a bad GPU and sent me a new one. 6 days later, threw it in and tests are going fine! Everything seems to be running well. Now, heres a review of the product (now that its working...). Please keep in mind that I have extensive gaming history, but never on PCs, only on consoles. The case itself is quite stunning. The blue light emitted by the cooling system looks amazing. The system overall is quiet, but not silent. You will hear this system running, but I have yet to be distracted by the noise. So far, it seems to be quite responsive overall. A few hiccups here and there, but I think that is quite fast. The games I have tested so far run very smooth. I have not used a Frames Per Second counter, however. I can only speak from what I noticed. Overall, this seems to be a great starter gaming PC for moderate players. Minus the rocky start (thus the 4/5), I love this PC. And you can buy knowing youll have some great tech support an email away!

Let me start by saying Im not a computer brainiac but I know my way around a computer to get them set up. What I dont know i ask or Google it. Here are the things I dont like. No bluetooth enabled. Before someone says, its in the settings. I looked and so did my computer nerd brother. Bluetooth not there. Had to order a bluetooth adapter. Im a new gamer and I need a computer with better specs. Which brings me to my next issue. The sound will not work any of my 4 headsets and or speakers. Ive tried front and back plugins. Nothing! Just annoying for such simple things to be so hard to be active. Okay its a holiday weekend I will call support tomorrow to see if I can get some assistance. If these issues can be corrected with support I will change my rating. Happy computer searching! :) 9.4.18 update: changed to 4 stars because tech support fixed my sound issue is 5 minutes. Lol!

My issue is with the RAM... The product description clearly says G.SKILL RAM... do you get that? Maybe yes in my case NO. When I purchased this computer I looked at the pictures of the product. it is a stand out feature in the pics... RIPJAW Bright red G Skills RAM in 3 of the pics. Great looking computer... Works well enough... I purchased this computer in July and when I did I placed a second 8 Gig G.SKILL DDR4 2400 MHz in my cart... I moved it to save for later... Later came this week... and I purchased the additional RAM... Looking forward to a much faster computer Right? I got the new RAM yesterday... That is when I noticed the cheap generic RAM the builders switched out... OK maybe it will work... no dice. The timing is different with the RAM and I have just wasted my money and Time buying more RAM that I now have to what... anyone want a cheap generic 8 gig DDR4 2400 GHz chip for really cheap... I called Amazon... they cant do anything... I called Sky Tech and they wont do anything... I even called G.Skills but they though I was crazy... all I can do now is warn you that you may or may not get what you see in the pictures and read in the product description... Great Partners Sky Tech and G.Skills... They may are may not be partners after all... it might just be a lie to sell more units... did anyone get a computer from Sky Tech with the RIP JAW DDR4 RAM? I didnt... It sure looks good in the pictures though... Why not give it less stars? It would have been a FIVE STAR Review. If I was able to resolve this issue without having to spend even more money to get what I wanted and paid for in the first place.

Got the ArchAngel last week. Pretty good device all things considering on what you are paying for. Other than the PC you get: A basic keyboard (lights up like a rainbow but is pretty cheap standard plastic that you will have to break in for it to feel good) A basic mouse (has a DPI button and 2 side buttons for back and forward overall its pretty alright for a standard stock mouse or a backup mouse) A plugin wireless receiver (Its nothing to write home about I use an Ethernet cable so this wasnt used.) Issue: Noticed when setting up the device that windows needed to be registered. Looked on the Case, checked in the box with the Keyboard and the wireless adapter and mouse, looked on the outside packaging that the Case came in. Nothing. Now to be fair I tried to contact the tech support line but it was after hours. Thankfully I have a habit of taking my old devices and not only logging each windows key but also storing the stickers that come with the unit in case something like this happens. So I took an old windows 7 key and registered the device. Thing is this is gonna be a big deal for a new user if that key isnt present for them. Again to reiterate, I checked the box that came with the mouse, keyboard, the inside of the wireless adapter, on the outside and the inside of the PC Casing and the box in which the unit arrived and found nothing resembling the Windows Product Key. In the Companys defense it is possible I am simply missing where this key should be located. Because I had a spare windows 7 key I did not pursue a follow up with the tech support. I will only ding the product 1 star because of this.

This pc is a great starter PC for a Gamer, or a good upgrade if you havent had one in awhile. The Motherboard on this PC is okay, it isnt the best. but it does its job without fail. The Ryzen 3 is an amazing budget processor, its great for Basic gaming, but dont expect it to do too much. The ram Is only 8gb with 2400 MGHZ. so its not very big, i would recommend you buy a second stick or a pair of sticks after buying this desktop. the Ram it comes with works, but it is not enough to handle Serious games or multitasking projects. The HDD is the one thing i HIGHLY recommend you look at upgrading, buy a small little SSD for 30-50 dollars and clone the Os over to it, will improve your experience with this desktop dramatically. The 1050 TI is a cute little GPU that will play almost any game without issues, its a great card to get for the money and will work perfectly, but it is a farcry from Mid to high tier GPU cards. you get a 500W power supply which will handle newer hardware very well. and a basic CD/DVD player. a nice touch. Overall, this PC is great if you can get it on a sale for around 500 bucks, anything over 600 and you may want to look elsewhere. The PC is great and works perfect with light games like fornight and overwatch. This PC is highly and easily upgradeable. and the case can handle a full atx board. My current setup for this pc is as follows. Ryzen 5 2600 OC to 4.1GHZ 2 G.skill Trident 3200 MGZ 8x2 GB sticks. x470 Gaming plus MSI Full ATX a 500 GB SSD 1 X 500 GB HD 1 X 1000 GB HD RFX 8GB 580 AMD GPU.
