Skytech Oracle Desktop: Ryzen 5-2600, 8GB DDR4, 500GB SSD, GTX 1660 EXPIRED

You can't build this for $600.

For gaming, this is a better deal. Even if the HP has a slightly better graphics card.

Computers built by system assemblers generally use standard, off the shelf parts that are easily replaced with upgrades when the time comes. Note that this one even names the motherboard by model, so you know exactly what you get.

OEM systems, like HP, Dell, Lenovo, Acer and similar will often have non-standard motherboards and power supplies. The OEM motherboards often perform worse and are locked down against the kind of tweaking like overclooking and under or over volting. Also, the power supply connectors are usually proprietary so replacing either the motherboard or the power supply is far more difficult.

OEMs are generally concerned about making a "good enough" model that they can sell in the thousands and offer corporate clients the sort of uniformity across a purchase period or fiscal year that simplifies the task of supporting them.

System builders will change what is included rapidly in order to stay competitive and relevant when compared to home builders and other assemblers.

For a general purpose PC, an OEM is a good choice, but for the best value in home use, especially gaming, you want a "System Assembler" or home built.

This is a great value for entry level gaming in today's market, and one I would choose if buying today.

About the same, it solely depend on what you planning to use for. Cyber has 3600 1 generation better cpu than 2600, but GPU is RX580 8GB vs Nvidia 1660. So Cyber wins in CPU but looses in GPU. As for other parts, I think Cyber has slightly better combination at 240G SSD +2TB vs 500G SSD. If I will have to pick, I will pick Cyber, but Skytech deal is not bad too consider GTX 1660 performs better in gaming than RX 580. Not to mention BB will have tax but Skytech may not have tax in certain States through Google. Regardless, it seems BB deal already ended, so if you miss it, this is probably a good choice within the $600 range gaming entry level PC.
