SkyTech Archangel 3.0 Gaming Computer PC Desktop - Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core 3.6GHz, RTX 2060 6G, 500GB SSD, 16GB DDR4 3000, RGB Fans, AC WiFi, Windows 10 Home 64-bit, White

Review is for:Skytech Azure Gaming PC Desktop- AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 3.8GHz, RTX 3070 8GB, 16GB DDR4 3600- Asus PRIME B550M-A (WI-FI) MotherboardTLDR:- I would definitely recommend a PC from Skytech. Solid experience and PC. Great price too for the performance.- B550M-A motherboard should have been a TUF x570 with the dual M2.- Case is fine but will end up replacing it for the Cooler Master NR600 because of its high end cooling and no RGB on the case. Not really a fan of the Skytech RGB Logo and RGB on the case in general. RGB on the inside is perfectly fine. The RGB case is the only option to get this PC.- PC came with a tech check off sheet with pen/marker to indicate that the PC was actually checked. Nice!Purpose and Performance:- This PC is to be for both a work and play and solves both very easily. Even when opening some really heavy/large files this PC just shrugs at them. The previous PC is a Ryzen 5 1600 with GTX 1060 6GB and is a real workhorse. It started to struggle on these large files as well as some texture processing. It did fine though but far below the level of this PC. I do find that the AMD CPU and nVidia pairing are amazing for both work and play.- The motherboard works well so no complaints. The B550M-A motherboard should have been a TUF x570 with the dual M2. It is just the cheaper board (currently $127) vs the amazing board (currently $189 for the Asus TUF x570 WI-FI). Will replace eventually.- It only comes with 1 M2 slot which is used for the 1 TB drive included. I could not re-use my current 1 TB M2 drive. The board is also really small with no extra PCI slots.Price:Great price for the PC specs. I picked all my own parts to build my own and ended up just a couple hundred less than this. I had some better parts (as I found once it was here) but I also did not have to put it all together and get it set up. This was a definite win in getting this pre-built.Software:- No bloatware. It was clean!- It had most of the drivers installed but I had to update the nVidia drivers (normal) and I could not control the RGB because of missing Asus AURA software. So I went to the Asus site and downloaded all the files for the motherboard. I installed Asus AI Suite and Asus Armoury to control the RGB. Should have already been installed since it was checked off on the list. Not going to take a star off for this though since the rest of the PC was actually set up well.Appearance:- At first I was not a fan of the large Skytech logo on the front of the enclosure. I am still 50/50 on it so would be nice if there was just the RGB strip on the left and no RGB Logo. The rest if the case and parts look great and very tasteful. Not too much RGB and just enough. Very nice.- Cabling was zip tied nicely and routed cleanly. Looks great.Noise and Cooling:- This PC is super quiet. I can just barely hear the fans and CPU water pump/radiator. Even when it ramps up when I work in Blender, UE4 testing, Texture Conversions, or playing the PC is mostly quiet.- The InWin 103 (Skytech custom) case cools really well. The air pressure seems well balanced and the temps are decent. Not really a fan of the Skytech RGB Logo and RGB on the case in general. RGB on the inside is perfectly fine. The RGB case is the only option to get this PC.- I will likely end up replacing this with the CM NR600 since it is a much better case and high end cooling.Misc:- It was shipped with great packing details. Nothing loosened up during transit. Great work!- The GPU is a PNY and ended up different than the pics. I ended up purchasing a Display Port to HMDI adapter for my second monitor. Many cards it seems have 1 HDMI and 3 Display Port so not unexpected.- Comes with a Skytech branded Mouse (decent and light) and Keyboard (mechanical and heavy). It appears the keyboard is well built but I prefer my Logitech G213 since it comes with the wrist support and works with the LGS Software. I also prefer the Logitech G602 since it feels solid and wireless. This Skytech mouse has a similar feeling in the hand.- I have two 500GB SATA SSD which fit perfectly in the two case drive slots. The screws from Skytech were in the box with some extras.- The WI-FI antenna did not come with any method to secure it to the case. Basically it would just slide off from the weight of the cable which is light but pulls normally. I ended up using a magnetic business card sticky to stick to the bottom and a small knife to carve along the edge. It now sticks magnetically on the enclosure.

Works great for the specs and price. Still running great after almost 2 years. Runs online games with good speed for amateur gaming (obviously isn't built for pro gamers although if you're on a budget it'll still be enjoyable). Has enough space on the harddrive to hold multiple games- we have multiple total war games currently installed as well as random rpg and indie games- about 10 installed total. The only problem we've had was with the antenna for the wifi that sometimes it was loose and would disconnect- though that's more a problem with our internet than the PC per se- but something definitely to keep in mind if you don't have the best internet. Overall great purchase for our gaming and browsing needs. :)

Everyday something different is wrong with this computer and I’ve had it less than a month. My current issue is my mouse and keyboard won’t work in the slotted usb drives for it. So I’m constantly having to swap the usb to be able to try and get work done. Tech support has helped none at all and the computer recognizes it’s a problem but has absolutely no solution for it. It doesn’t look how it looks in the picture, the only rgb portion of it is the gpu and the water pump the rest does not light up, scam there and they don’t tell you that part. Day 1 you couldn’t hear that it was on which was a plus and by day 3 it was audible and loud… the power button is so sensitive and poorly placed, if you look at it the wrong way it’s liable to shut down, since I’m constantly having to swap usb for the mouse and keyboard I hit it when I don’t even know I hit it and now the whole computer is shut down not to mention it gets stuck due to its poor design.All in all, do not buy this computer!!!

EDIT 11/8/2024: 2 yrs later and she's still going strong. Haven't had any issue besides running out of room for things. Plan on getting my kiddo a Skytech rig for Christmas this yr since he has asked only for a gaming PC for Christmas.I desperately needed a new computer for gaming so I did a little research and asked the gamer community of my favorite game for advice and settled on this rig. I know nothing about building computers and had no idea where or if there was even any one local where I could get one built. This rig is perfect for my needs! I went from playing on lowest/optimal setting with max 25 fps on my favorite game to being able to play at highest quality with a consistent 60+ fps.It's pretty quiet until playing my game but it's not super loud. With the 3 fans and good airflow I have no issue with it getting hot, even when left on game over night.I didn't have to adjust anything and cables were nicely tucked and organized. The only thing I could see being a potential issue for anyone is on the back one of the screws is kinda sticking out because of a small dent on the corner and the back panel (where the antennas go) looks like it got smoosed in a little. it doesn't bother me and doesn't hinder the performance whatsoever but some people can be anal about things like that. Overall I am extremely happy with my purchase!

Ok so, I’ve only ever seen prebuilts from other companies and they have always been cheap and not so nicely setup. Skytech however took me by surprise . Due to gpu scalpers I chose prebuilt to save on money for my 10 year olds new computer, this thing was very nicely built. It’s beautiful and it screams with speed. Gigabyte gpu, asrock mobo, oylo ram, cooler master aio..... it wasn’t built with cheap equipment. I have to say skytech is a great deal.Update after a few months , the skytech PC is still going strong, I did notice a small detail, the fans and cooler master AIO are not quite enough if you’re running high end games for to long, I could toast bread off the exhaust heat, invested a small amount into a 240 aio and a few Noctua fans and it is now an air conditioner . So just a small investment but way worth the upgrade .New update: almost a year still running strong, 10 year old autistic son hasn’t been able to break it.
