Solid deal if you're okay buying a prebuilt. Unless you buy Falcon Northwest or some similar boutique kit, or else buy a laptop you're almost always gonna have some notable compromises versus building your own. At least Gamer's Nexus gave Skytech a decent recommendation for not totally sucking versus most of the Dell/etc crap. With this rig:

- no idea who makes the mobo or psu
- the ram is stupidly slow and will be a bottleneck the rest of the system in some games
- the radiator is a bit overkill for the extremely cool running 7800x3d.

Despite those criticisms, this Skytech is absolutely a deal worth considering. As a comparison, I spec'd a few systems on PCpartpicker and came up with this:

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/QJpCxH

- quality parts across the board with maybe only the ssd being suspect, but it's fine for gaming and is 4tb instead of Skytech's more modest 2tb.
- very good bang-for-the-buck rgb Lian Li case and plenty of other great options around $100
- Swapped Skytech's liquid cpu cooler for a Peerless Assassin air cooler. Then upgraded the 4090 to the MSI Suprim liquid cooled model.
- any number of x670 or b650 mobos fit the bill. This one has WiFi and 3x m.2 2280 ssd slots for plenty of storage upgrades
- 6000MHz ram with low CAS & first word latencies versus the crap 5200 sticks in the Skytech
- Solid fully modular Corsair power supply with the proper plug for a 4090
- windows 11 pro OEM included. I didn't cheat by not including the OS.

the 7800X3D is and has been the best gaming CPU available in the market for a while now. There isn't much you would need to upgrade if you bought this. The only thing that I see you could replace/upgrade/add would be the ram, case fans, storage, M&K, and maybe the cooler, if you preferred something else. Besides these you should be set for a good while before you have to consider upgrading.

This looks like a killer deal. I have been working on pcpartpicker and this is close to the minimal price point.

Thanks for posting.

I picked one up using 0% from Newegg for 12 months and got the 3 year warranty.

Any tips on what kind of RAM I should get from Newegg or any other parts to improve it?

Is this a better gaming PC than Alienware Aurora with the RTX 4090 and 14th gen core i9? Is this an upgradable PC or not?

This other one from Skytech retails for $500 more but is also on sale now…for $120 more. Faster memory, black case, newer prebuilt release. Other than faster memory and a case change, I can't see a difference?
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Pr...1HJJY96155

…And that deal ended at midnight. Now it's $500 more.

brand shouldn't matter that much but I'd aim for 6000mhz CL30

They apparently don't ship to WI. First time I've encountered that issue. Anyone have any clue why? When I click on the link for more information, all it says is "Products shipping to the following states: WA, VT, OR, HI, CO, CA require CEC certification."

your build is far preferrable. the 6000vs5200 is really not much of a big deal but the rest is. that said w11 shouldn't be that much. it's about $35 pretty reliably. and if you are getting a dvd how are you going to load it...

The problem with the i9 is that there isn't a cooling solution on the market that is able to handle it. Therefore, this AMD process is functionally the best processor on the market, because you know, it actually works.

Wow, for a pre-built out of box deal, this looks like a really good deal!

I'm running a 7800X3D and an RTX 4080 computer with 64GB of RAM (ram is overkill, yes). I can vouch that your performance with this setup will outperform many games you throw at it on high and ultra settings. Not to mention you will be using a 4090 over my 4080.

If I didn't have a decent setup I would've bought this PC and threw in some Noctua NF-12's or Phantek T30's fans in it.
