- 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.co
- 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.

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?

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

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.

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.
