Skytech Gaming King 95 Desktop PC, Ryzen 7 9700X 3.8 GHz (5.5GHz), NVIDIA RTX 5070 12GB, 1TB Gen4 NVMe SSD, 32GB DDR5 RAM 6000 RGB, 850W Gold PSU, 360mm ARGB AIO, Wi-Fi, Win 11

I've been building my own PCs since the days of i386's with math co-processors, so it was not an easy decision to buy a pre-built. My aging 2016 build of an AMD FX with a 960ti was not cutting the mustard anymore, so I started shopping and found the StarTech Blaze II. Having priced out a similar part list at Microcenter for $1800, it was a no-brainer money-wise to purchase this at a sub $900 price point. I figured I could at least use the parts for a budget build if it came in awful, but boy was I pleased with the purchase! Build came equipped with an AIO water cooler for the CPU, which was not listed in the specs and was a nice bonus. All components were of a decent quality and build, including a WD blue NVME drive, MSI pro 560 Wifi mobo, ThermalTake 600W PS and an EVGA 1660 6GB. Runs anything I throw at it on high to ultra settings, and is lightning fast as a productivity PC. Quiet as well, the AIO cooler really keeps it at a low level, which is nice for people like me that don't like headphones. Not a lot of room for upgrades. I was able to just barely finagle a 4tb storage drive in the open drive slot, and it looks like there's room for a 2.5" drive as well. It was able to accept a Windows 11 upgrade after a BIOS firmware update, so it is capable and runs very well in my limited experience with Win11. Magnetic dust filter is a nice touch, and the included keyboard and mouse aren't too bad, although I can see myself replacing the keyboard due to personal preference. Only one slight con that can be remedied with some YouTube knowledge: The ARGB fan lighting can only be controlled by the panel button on the case. With a bit of cable redirection it can be moved to a software controlled option through the motherboard.

I’m really happy with this PC so far! It runs super smooth and plays everything I throw at it on ultra settings like Cyberpunk 2077, GTA, Fortnite, Apex, Fragpunk. All of them run great without any lag. The only thing is, when I first powered it on, the fans were so loud I thought the thing was about to take off like a rocket 😂. Luckily, I went into BIOS and switched them to silent mode and it’s been nice and quiet since. For the price, you’re definitely getting a lot of power here. No issues at all so far, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a solid prebuilt gaming PC.

I’m not sure what other people’s experiences have been, but my experience was excellent. The PC arrived exactly as described online. All the components are name brand, legit items. I have researched all specs on this thing and they are impeccable. It came pre-loaded with most of the software/drivers already installed as well as a quick link for Skytech support. The machine looks beautiful, the rgb coupled with the curved glass is amazing. I have 2 videos. The first was a true unboxing because the pc was dropped off by 2 sketchy looking guys in a box truck and the box looked like it was beaten up a little. (Spoiler: nothing wrong with the pc but sorry for out of frame a little). I will have to do a second review for this as it will only allow one video. So this is the unboxing!!!

This computer is running absolutely amazing. arrived a few days early. Was simple to set up. Runs extremely quiet. The LEDs within come with fun and unexpected functions. Like matching the colors coming from my monitor which makes gaming or listening to music pretty neat. I'm running the Most graphics intensive games I've got on ultra settings and it's not even struggling at all. I'm impressed. I only wish it came with more internal hard drives/drive space, but it also has plenty of room to expand so I can do that part on my own.

I had a problem with the fan noise level of this pc. There is no way I paid almost 2,000 just for this pc to sound like a jet engine when there were no apps running. I couldn’t fix this problem through BIOS or the useless pc software that costed money just to control the fan speed. This pc made my room very uncomfortable as the temperature of my room peaked over 80 degrees with the AC on. Not only was the noise bad the PC had trouble playing games as I was experiencing constant freezes and stutters.

I ordered the blaze ii in July, 2022, as my very first gaming pc. It was scary placing the order but after reading the reviews I was willing to give it a shot. Boy what a win this was! It can handle war zone at high settings at 60 fps, back for blood at ultra settings no problem! I was blown away by the power of this machine! I ordered it for a steal at 990! If anyone is skeptical as I was, do yourself a favor and buy this pc!

Very loud fans, half of the wires weren’t plugged in when I got it. Has temp spikes constantly. But at the end of the day I got it on sale for $1600 an still feel it was worth it. The first pc I got from the about 5 years ago definitely had better build quality
