The only issue I had with Skytech is their RAM. It says 32gb of RAM but the CL speed is not typically top of the line. I bought one 2 years ago and found out the ram (16gb) was very basic and rather than 3200mhz, it was 2444mhz. Did it work for the PC, yes, but it was not what most would have expected. I had to upgrade it to 32gb, 3200mhz, CL16 ram in order for my gaming to actually be stable enough to run. They also tend to skimp on the SSD/NVME quality as well. My only recommendation would be to try and leave a little space for quick upgrades to RAM or NVME. Otherwise, I would say Skytech is a reliable company that will provide somewhat decent prebuilds.
Folks if your buying a prebuilt gaming pc as a gift. Do yourself and your loved one a favor and have a microcenter build one for you. A legendary 7800x3d bundle is $599. Have a case, power supply, OS & GPU added. Theyll build and warranty the work....and youll likely be well under 2k. Walk out with an inccredible PC built on solid advice.
All my PCs in last 25 years were prebuilt. Yesterday I built one myself and it was great experience. It's actually only stage 1 with bare minimum, currenly running Ryzen 7600 with stock cooler and integrated graphics, so it's just to use it casually, but eventually 9800x3D goes in, AIO cooling, dedicated GPU and we'll be talking serious gaming. Can't wait.
Really wish there were more! But Nvidia has the prebuilt market dominated so for a prebuilt team green is likely going to be your only choice. Different from building one yourself for sure
This video was great, but the main thing that I learned is that if I plan properly and spend smartly (finding deals wherever, or getting a bundle from Micro Center), then I may get a better value building my own PC. (Of course I'll utilize this channel in planning that too)
Jason I'm disappointed that your only covering Nvidia GPU's when you've started in several video that AMD is the best bang for your buck for mid-range gaming. Are you doing a separate video covering the AMD GPU systems??
I'm a newbie to PC gaming and definitely not young. Does this channel's community have experience with Steam OS and feelings on how it compares to Windows if you exclusively want to game and do some basic web browsing without all the bloatware?
Good morning Jason, Crew and Kitties!!, before building PC's was/is the thing i bought pre-built . . . my wife was a Gateway commando . . .but i soon found "OEM" bit you when it came to Gaming Pc's and not to mention bloated with programs! but, i understand why people would buy them. That's why we're here . . . i really appreciate you trying to help everyone to get into their system with their budget.
Thanks William! Obviously I love helping people build their own but sometimes that's just not possible for folks (or wanted which is fine too). Hope you are having a great week!
Prebuilt will be good for the non builder. That's how I started back in 2003 and once I began to open up the case and upgrade little by little is how I learned in 2004 to build my own pc
Thanks for the video! Microcenter near me had a deal on for a 9700x + 32gb of RAM+ MSI pro wifi 650M board for the same price as a 7800x3d only lol. A little disappointed I didn’t get the best for gaming but I think that deal more than makes up for it
What specs/budget are you looking at mate? I wouldn't have thought it'd be that bad, AWD-IT, Scan and Overclockers might be worth looking at, I've not gotten a pre-built from a big company before so can't really speak for them but generally their builds seem decent for the money generally.
To those considering pre-builts versus building one yourself, I support your choice, but you have to watch Jason from PC Builder to get the most out of your money. He knows these parts like the back of his hand and talks about them often enough in his videos to have each one memorized. He’ll provide value for your dollar every time-I promise you. I copied his 5950X build from one of his older videos a few years ago, and I’m still using it as I type this comment. He knows his stuff.
Thanks to your GPU and CPU combos I went with a 7600x and a Radeon 7800XT. I almost went with a 7800X3D, which is overkill for a 7800XT. My last parts are arriving today for my first PC build! Your videos have helped me a lot!
Hi Jason, i got the ASRock Phantom Gaming D OC Radeon RX 6800 XT 16 GB Video Card 2 years ago when i built through your guides. I noticed the 6800XT isn't in your new gpu related videos, why is that? Did it turn out to not be a good card, or is there something related to the current available versions being junk? I'm back to build my friend a pc (: Apologies if you've mentioned this before, just curious is all. Thanks!
My 4070 ti already seems outdated for 1440p. I think I’ll get a 80 series GPU from now on for headroom probably wait for the 5080 super hopefully it has 20 GB vram
I really appreciate the Video but are there any recommendations that dont include a GPU as i have a 2060 super right now and want to upgrade to a 5060 mid 2025
I dont need to upgrade yet but your videos are very helpful for keeping up with the PC parts tech scene and deals. Every year around this time i watch your videos to see. I built my PC two years ago watching your videos. Very helpful.
Have been checking in and out of the channel for about two weeks now waiting for exactly this kind of video, and I currently have the ABS Aeolian M in my cart right now. Big thanks for all the knowledge you're out here spreading Jason!
And only buy directly from the PC Manufacturer. You get better deals from the SI directly. I recommend Skytech, IBUYPOWER and Alexander PC. Cyberpower is trash garbage.
I am getting a new PC for the first time since 2016 this week or the next, and your videos have been super helpful. But why the lack of AMD GPUs? I'm Team Red, and going with a 7900 XT. 😁 I would say they are more performance for your money if you don't care too much about ray-tracing, and at least for more tight budgets I would go with them over Nvidia anyway.
Oh believe me I wish there were more AMD GPUs in prebuilts! But Nvidia dominates the prebuilt market so if its a prebuilt you're looking for you'll likely have to go team green. If you're building yourself absolutely Radeon is likely you're better choice
Hey Jason, I dont know, if you will see my comment but if you will, leave me a comment please. I made two builds for my friend to give him a decision. He wants over 300fps in cs2 with his peferred cpu i5 12600KF - his budget is 800€ so I gave him two possibilities. 12600KF + RX 7600 (168€ + 281€) or 12400F + 7600XT (117€ + 359€). What do you think about that? He choose his processor :D So first one. The price of builds is the same - around 800€ . I think, its much better the second one, but he also play World of Warcraft.
Can I ask why the amazon black friday discounts are so fricking terrible this year? There are nearly zero discounts on high-end GPUs or CPUs like 4070 TI Super or ryzen 7 7800x3d
I just posted a 4070 ti super deal today, but Nvidia often doesn't do sales unless it has to. The 7800X3D is still too in demand to go on sale. Generally sales revolve around parts they are looking to clear out. But we may still see prices keep dropping closer to the actual Black Friday.
You're at the right video! In the first few minutes we go over what to know. Then we have our picks at each budget level in the video and linked in the description.
Guys if you're going to get a skytech PC, especially with the king 95 montech case, just know that that thing is huge! Much wider than your regular ATX case so budget for the room you'll need 🤣 but you will love it best looking case I've ever owned! Also as a side note I appreciate Jason telling people not to skimp out on cooling. You think you can but trust me you don't want to make that mistake!
I can't recommend 13th or 14th gen Intel CPUs right now sadly. But if you are comfortable with them and know the situation it might be worth it. Lenovo is also OEM so keep that in mind
@@PCBuilderChannel I understand the cpu issue and oem is a bummer but im not gonna upgrade for a while and at that point i will be able to pull the gpu ssd and ram from the Lenovo and turn it into a storage machine also i plan on game develope ment along with gaming so intel offers more for me than amd right now
Hi jason , I got a msi b650 pro s wifi , and a ryzen 5 7600x with 32 gb ram 5200 from corsair . For some reason i cannot do pbo with curve optimizer cuz the i get crashes . Also i tried eco mode of cpu to lower the temperature and i got crashes in god of war ragnarok , what bios settings should i do to lower the temperature. I got a gigabyte 650w 80+ gold with a 7700xt.
Hop over to our After you build setup guide video and see if that helps! For more troubleshooting I recommend posting to reddit build a pc troubleshooting forum. Its a great resource
That budget is right on the line between a strong AM4 build with a 5600X or 5700X3D or a 7600 (7600X). Start with our "Best GPU/CPU Combo 2024" to see your options
skytech seems to have the best deals on the mid and high end prebuilds. Thanks for this video. I've been planning a new build for end of next year but have had some health issues pop up that have messed with my hands and vision so I don't trust myself to build on my own and have been looking to get a prebuilt instead.
I have same problem with vision and disability. I was gonna go pre-built but change my mind. Just gonna order all the parts and have nearby PC shop assemble for me.
Sold out with the Black Friday deal at Newegg yes. Those do tend to go fast. Its still at Amazon for more. Let me see if I can find another deal and pop that in
Nope I don't see another deal as good at the moment. The Amazon price is pretty darn good so that's my current top 4k gaming prebuilt recommendation. But I will keep an eye out and update the description frequently
Probably not no, and it really depends on what GPU its paired with to. But there are really good 7800X3D and 7700X deals out there right now so hopefully people will look at those
Or maybe jsut maybe. People know what they want and buy what they want. Stop shilling for one company over another. People do more with their PCs than just game you know.
Not that beat the current deals, remember the 9800X3D is only a small increase up from the 7800X3D. The ones that are out there with it so far are silly expensive. But I'll keep the description recommendation list updated as that changes
Bro it's ok to be budget and keep on 1080p and 60hz. But no, if you have the financial capability, go for higher you'll be very satisfied. May you upgrade very soon!
Im gonna upgrade when amd releases their Zen5X3D cheaper cpus and RDNA4. In facts that I find disturbing... all the people buying apple... overpriced, not upgradable, stuck on the apple ecosystem, weaker than pc conterparts... why would anyone buy this?? Apple is a cult. Also another fact thats disturbing, somehow, intel still got 70% of the cpu market... what in the hell? People are just idiots.
@@PCBuilderChannel hey I noticed my other reply comment is not showing. Was it automatically deleted because I shared that microcenter link with you? I wanted to know your opinion on that pre-built.
I don't see another comment from you sorry! Probably yes if it had a link youtube just deleted it. Can you list the key components in a fresh comment? TH-cam is also hard with replies.
Bought the ABS Orkan Ruby you recommended during the prime day/newegg sales (Ryzen 7 7700x & 4070 super) and it’s been incredible for me I haven’t had any problems so far. Really appreciate your expertise
@ I play a ton of Hell Let Loose and get on average 160fps on all medium settings except anti aliasing and view distance on epic. OSRS Is consistent 360fps doing things like Vorkath or any skilling. TF2 is consistent 360fps at high settings even during intense MVM or casual lobbies. I only do the Precision Boost Overdrive and the hottest my pc will get is around 68-70° if I’m in a full intense lobby of HLL. My monitor is the AW2725DF 27in 360hz QD-OLED
FRESH COMMENT I wanted to know what it think about this microcenter pc. I am attempting to be beastly at gaming AND video rendering. I don't tend to get new pcs but once a decade. My last build was all the way back in 2010. Something odd about this is that the processor seems very under clocked. Not sure why. TYPE HP OMEN 45L GT22-2090 Gaming PC Platinum CollectionIntel Core i9 14th Gen 14900K 2.4GHz Processor; NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 24GB GDDR6X; Kingston FURY 64 GB DDR5-5200 MHz XMP RGB Heatsink RAM; 2TB Solid State Drive Key Features Intel Core i9 14900K (2.4GHz) Processor 64GB DDR5-5200 RAM NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Graphics Card 2TB PCIe M.2 NVMe Gen4 SSD Gigabit LAN, 2x2 WiFi 6 (802.11ax), Bluetooth 5.3 Windows 11 Pro Price 3499.99
So a couple of issues with this one. 1 I can't recommend 14th or 13th gen Intel right now due to the degradation issues. 2 this is an OEM so keep that in mind. 3 This is way overpriced when you could get our top 4k gaming recommendation for the same price (linked in description) with a 7800X3D (more powerful for gaming, no issues, and great upgrade path for years to come) which would give you better gaming performance and kick major butt at video rendering. But if you feel like you need more cores then save money, get yourself in a platform that has life to it, no degradation issues, and go for our 7700X high GPU Combos linked in the description.
This is one I'd recommend for gaming/production combo! Its such a great deal you can easily add more storage and still be way way under the price of the one you were looking at. howl.link/8azuca7suem8g (affiliate link) But it depends on what you do. If you do professional level video production (its your source of income) I'd look at some 7900X prebuilt options out there.
@@PCBuilderChannelthanks. Look into it. I don't know much of what I'm doing and I've always struggled. The one I built myself many years ago was a phenom 2 x4 945 or something like that with a sapphire Radeon 4850x2 and ddr3. Lol the computer has been out of use for like a year or so because it bsods consistently after being on for 5 or so minutes. No idea why or how to diagnose that.

Any thoughts on the Lenovo Legion series? They seem to have some decent prices for the GPU/CPU combos?
Buy from an SI only. Lenovo uses their own parts. Meaning you have to send it back to them to get it fixed. instead of going to your local shop.
Man the American prices makes me sad. :( I have to pay 2x for same specs here in the UK.
Frustrating!

Or maybe jsut maybe. People know what they want and buy what they want. Stop shilling for one company over another. People do more with their PCs than just game you know.
User benchmark won’t like the Intel Shaming going on here
haha!
Just saw the recommended specs for STALKER 2 and they’re absolutely bonkers. You literally fail on Epic settings if you have any last gen hardware.
Yikes!
Also Hi Dark! (:
No 9800x3d builds yet?
Not that beat the current deals, remember the 9800X3D is only a small increase up from the 7800X3D. The ones that are out there with it so far are silly expensive. But I'll keep the description recommendation list updated as that changes
@@PCBuilderChannel Man ok. I am looking for a WoW/heavy CPU load game build . No idea what to look for.
1080p 60hz gang forever.
(:
60hz is 🤮
bro i'll pray for u
Pfff... peasant
Bro it's ok to be budget and keep on 1080p and 60hz. But no, if you have the financial capability, go for higher you'll be very satisfied. May you upgrade very soon!
👍
thanks for watching!
mb
Im gonna upgrade when amd releases their Zen5X3D cheaper cpus and RDNA4. In facts that I find disturbing... all the people buying apple... overpriced, not upgradable, stuck on the apple ecosystem, weaker than pc conterparts... why would anyone buy this?? Apple is a cult. Also another fact thats disturbing, somehow, intel still got 70% of the cpu market... what in the hell? People are just idiots.
👍🙂😉✌
Hello! Hope you are having a good week!
You as well my friend Tater says hi. Hoping all is well with you and yours. Take care, be safe and God bless. See you on the next one. Peace🙂
Heh I'm the 69th like...
welp.... (;
@@PCBuilderChannel hey I noticed my other reply comment is not showing. Was it automatically deleted because I shared that microcenter link with you? I wanted to know your opinion on that pre-built.
I don't see another comment from you sorry! Probably yes if it had a link youtube just deleted it. Can you list the key components in a fresh comment? TH-cam is also hard with replies.
@@PCBuilderChannelsure thing just a moment.
Bought the ABS Orkan Ruby you recommended during the prime day/newegg sales (Ryzen 7 7700x & 4070 super) and it’s been incredible for me I haven’t had any problems so far. Really appreciate your expertise
Awesome! So glad we could help and thanks for the feedback! What games are you mostly playing on it?
@ I play a ton of Hell Let Loose and get on average 160fps on all medium settings except anti aliasing and view distance on epic. OSRS Is consistent 360fps doing things like Vorkath or any skilling. TF2 is consistent 360fps at high settings even during intense MVM or casual lobbies. I only do the Precision Boost Overdrive and the hottest my pc will get is around 68-70° if I’m in a full intense lobby of HLL. My monitor is the AW2725DF 27in 360hz QD-OLED
Nice!!
FRESH COMMENT
I wanted to know what it think about this microcenter pc. I am attempting to be beastly at gaming AND video rendering. I don't tend to get new pcs but once a decade. My last build was all the way back in 2010. Something odd about this is that the processor seems very under clocked. Not sure why.

So a couple of issues with this one. 1 I can't recommend 14th or 13th gen Intel right now due to the degradation issues. 2 this is an OEM so keep that in mind. 3 This is way overpriced when you could get our top 4k gaming recommendation for the same price (linked in description) with a 7800X3D (more powerful for gaming, no issues, and great upgrade path for years to come) which would give you better gaming performance and kick major butt at video rendering. But if you feel like you need more cores then save money, get yourself in a platform that has life to it, no degradation issues, and go for our 7700X high GPU Combos linked in the description.
This is one I'd recommend for gaming/production combo! Its such a great deal you can easily add more storage and still be way way under the price of the one you were looking at. howl.link/8azuca7suem8g (affiliate link) But it depends on what you do. If you do professional level video production (its your source of income) I'd look at some 7900X prebuilt options out there.
@@PCBuilderChannelthanks. Look into it. I don't know much of what I'm doing and I've always struggled.
The one I built myself many years ago was a phenom 2 x4 945 or something like that with a sapphire Radeon 4850x2 and ddr3. Lol the computer has been out of use for like a year or so because it bsods consistently after being on for 5 or so minutes. No idea why or how to diagnose that.
Imagine buying a 600 dollsr Intel cup and having to wait that long for it to work properly.
