SkyTech Blaze - Gaming Computer PC Desktop – Ryzen 5 1600 6-Core 3.2 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB, 1TB HDD, 16GB DDR4, AC WiFi, Windows 10 Home 64-bit (16GB Version)

I would like to say at first that I was skeptical of buying a pre built gaming tower. Due to my son saying he could help me build one. But due to his work schedule and such I went ahead and purchased two of these towers. They showed up in a timely manner. The delivery was signature only which I loved for that means no one else could receive it but someone from my home. ( I know the UPS driver :) small town stuff lol ) The packaging was awesome for both and there was no damage or anything to these items. Right out of the box I set mine up and within 10 minutes I was downloading my first game. That first game was subnautica. Once I started playing subnautica right off the bat I noticed the graphics were smooth and so detailed compared to playing on my old lenovo all in one. Controls were fluent and steady. Even though I am giving you a review from the first couple of days I am ecstatic. I called their tech support and talked to a gentleman named Joseph. The reasons calling them was to ask on if I would be able to upgrade certain things very soon like making my RAM go from 8GB to 16 GB. He answered everything even when Im ready to upgrade the processor and what type. Also I would like to say that the tower does come with a keyboard and mouse they are pretty decent for what they are. But all in all I am so pleased with these towers and the company and their support staff. I hope this helps anyone looking for a mid level gaming tower. (One month later) After having this tower for a while now I will still keep my first ratings. The tower is really quiet and runs like a kitten. Considering me and my wife both have the same tower and both on a two person desk it is still silent. I did add to each tower one more stick of ram to make them 16 GB total. To let you know I played Eve online, Empyrion Galactic Survival, Fallout 4, Space Engineers and Subnautica. The wife plays Minecraft (modded) and Ark Survival. All of these games played, great some of them on high settings. So in my opinion these towers and this company are awesome and I would highly recommend them.

This gaming rig has everything you need to get going on most AAA titles. Havent tried anything hardcore graphics wise yet, but the games I am playing are smooth and with no issues (lag, stuttering, etc). Came with keyboard and mouse, but the mouse I wouldnt recommend using (pretty cheap plastic thing that just lights up and looks cool; I have a simple wireless mouse that performs better). Overall this pc is well worth it at a great price. Plus with how the motherboard is set up by amd, you can always upgrade to a later model cpu in the ryzen series. Lighting effects are pretty cool and its super quiet. Love this rig!

Its a great PC thats VR capable. This was purchased for my Dad and my younger sisters to use with the Oculus Rift. It meets the minimum specs and does reasonably well running games like BeatSaber and RoboRecall. Its not perfect by any means being its on the budget side of things, but it runs the games without choppiness or glitches. Whats great is that since it runs VR games well, it plays AAA games just as well! So in the event they get into PC gaming they have a rig thats capable of doing so. The Ryzen CPU is great, 8GB of RAM is plenty for most people. 1TB of space is also plenty even when installing game after game, and even though its only a HDD, it works just fine. The only thing I would consider upgrading right away is the PSU and HDD. Move to a Gold+ standard PSU and a SSD.

Sleek, silent, and quite a bit of power for what it costs.. runs my oculus rift smoothly, have never experienced a noticeable drop in image quality or frame rate. Only crash was semi-intentional, pushing the pc and oculus to their limits to see just how much they could handle, which is quite a bit. You could definitely build your own rig that was slightly better for a little under the cost of this, but for a pre built, this met and exceeded my expectations.

This is the first gaming PC weve ever bought, following more than a decade of using laptops (including a MacBook Pro). Mind you, Im a casual gamer, and Im not that knowledgeable about computer parts and their workings, but I feel like for the price, its a very good deal. To provide an idea of how this computer has been working for us, The Sims 3 (with all expansions installed, some custom content, and a mod or two) can run slowly on this computer at times (mostly on the Create a Sim mode. It works normally in other modes), but its still very much playable (and sometimes mods and custom content can do things to gaming functionality anyway). When in Window mode in the Sims 3, I can also watch Youtube with no issues. My husband has played Evil Within 2 on it, and he says it runs very well. Other games that Ive played, including WoW, Minecraft and some other games on Steam have run just fine. Pretty well, and pretty smoothly, actually. Id like to use this computer to record gameplay for Youtube one day. I dont know that I could do that on this computer with a content heavy game like Sims 3, but Ive got the idea that I could probably do that with smaller games. That much is just a guess, though, as I havent actually tried this sort of thing yet. Ive heard from other sources that the gaming mouse and the keyboard that come with this are cheap quality, but honestly, my husband and I are happy with them. The mouse is probably the nicest weve ever had, and were enjoying having products that light up in nice colors. I dont know how they compare to higher priced gaming keyboards and computer mouses, but for those walking in on the scene like us, they should be perfectly fine. We havent had any issues with them, and the mouse has a nice ergonomic design that makes it comfortable to use. All in all, wonderful product for the price, especially for casual gamers or gamers who are just starting out. Were very happy with this purchase!

I purchased the Skytech Blaze computer to replace my old primary computer. My old computer was starting to become sluggish and had trouble running some video games. As Windows 10 gets routinely updated, it puts an increasingly heavier load on the CPU due to new additions and enhancements. I opted for the Blaze even though the Blaze II model was available because of its reduced price and double the RAM. For far less money I took a small 5% performance hit between the Blazes Ryzen 5 2600 versus the Blaze IIs Ryzen 5 2500 CPU. The Blaze came with a gaming mouse and a colorful back lit keyboard. Set up was fast and easy. I had absolutely no problems as I installed my favorite software. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are pre-installed and ready to go. Although this model is not a top-of-the-line gaming computer, I had noticed that my old games that were becoming sluggish are now fast with the greatest detail settings on the highest setting. The sound is loud and vibrant and for the first time I am not running my system sound at 100%. I havent used Skytechs technical support so I just put three stars in that category. It may be worth more than that. The only thing I dont like about this computer is the large square power button located at the very top of the case on the right hand side. The power button is not recessed and its large size makes it easy to accidentally cut off the computer. My son did it to me twice and I did it once while bending over the case to inspect the back ports. The back panel has six more USB jacks (5-USB 2.0 & 1-USB 3.0). My old computer came with an insufficient number of USB ports so I ended up purchasing a front panel dashboard and an internal USB card with four extra ports on the back panel. Overall I think this is a great entry level gaming computer and the positive aspects far outweigh the negatives. After comparing Skytechs price and specifications to its well known competition, I found I could get more computer for less money. I cant yet attest to Skytechs reliability and durability because I have owned this computer for too short a time but right now Im loving my new computer!

So Ive had this PC for a month now and Ive really liked it and the price is solid for everything you get. I really like the customization for the fan lights and it runs games great at high settings. What I will say is the mouse is really cheap and its pretty bad of a mouse. The keyboard looks nice with the light but its a cheap keyboard that is not that good for typing. Thats my thoughts on the pc!

I had to give 3 stars for TechSupport because no one could take my call even though their hours are still open. For $650, I am very happy with this purchase. Came with its own keyboard and mouse which I did not expect. The GPU I got is MSI variant with only 1 fan but the case keeps the inside cool. Motherboard is ASRock B450M Pro4 and RAM is Teamgroup Vulcan. This can play Fornite very smooth on Max settings, for future/more intensive game, should be fine if you play with the settings but I would think about upgrading the CPU. The CPU is a bit older because Ryzen 2nd Gen already came out. BUT, if you can be patient and save up more money, go for the more powerful one. If you are buying this for your younger kids/niece,nephew, then this is a good gift the wont break the bank.
