This $1000 Prebuilt Gaming PC is EPIC! | Skytech Shiva II

[@edakraz241]

This PC on their website listing is beefed up to a 1TB SSD and 32GB DDR4 3200MHZ. for $950+free shipping. as of 3/23/24.

[@Mongoloidmyke]

In my experience Skytech is pretty solid. The older archangel AMD R5 3600/2060 is what I started with which was great. Parted it out and went down and endless rabbit hole of building, tuning, and custom built PCs. Great Vid Thanks man!

I mean nowadays they give you an intel or amd stock coolers for $1k - $1.5k pcs. They suck IMO.

[@bamandontshadowban]

Totally agree, but I think well over 95% of prebuilds are garbage. This one Matt built back in October is way better than this and can be built for about $750-800 right now. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIDWZWuwlL5mlc0 Just make sure to toss the intel stock cooler for a $20 Assassin CPU cooler and switch up the PSU for something Semi or fully modular for a much cleaner build. But this is seriously one of the best tutorials I have ever watched. Someone with zero experience could build this in little time.

I have a question. The Amazon link brings me to the same pc build with a different graphics card. The skytech page, too. Where can I find this pc with this graphics card.

[@Gruzbee]

Skytech has a newer Shiva II with a RTX 40 series GPU, and eventually I will need to either build or buy a new gaming PC as my current build is over 4 years old. My one worry about prebuilts is adding more internal SSD or HDD storage... as a streamer and content creator I burn through an awful amount of storage, and external storage can only get me so far (and lets face it, looks atrocious). Does the Skytech PC power unit have extra cables for powering at least two additional internal drives?

[@itsatrap4986]

He has over 214k subscribers so it's his job to shill. But saying nVidia has a better track record is a flat out lie. And this prebuilt is trash. For $700, you can fit a 5600 and a 6750XT and will curve stomp this to the moon.

Never, never, never, buy prebuilds. Especially now, no matter what they are offering you can still build it yourself cheaper and with better specs. I've never in my life seen a prebuilt PC that I could not build myself for less, almost always using better parts and upgrades. I still watched anyway because I like you Matt and would really love to see you build a 2023 $1000-1200 build. Because your 2022 one was epic and now in 2023 the GPUs are cheaper and better on the AMD side.

[@bamandontshadowban]

@@arredrafa Watch one of Matt's video tutorials on how to build a $1000 gaming PC. He made one about 6 months ago I think and it was one of the most indepth tutorials I have ever seen. He holds your hand throughout the entire process, even helping you with tying up cables in the back of the case. Seriously, he leaves no step out. That guide features much better components and is a radically better machine with room for upgrades. He even walks you through installing the OS and configuring the BIOS for max performance. I've recommended it to several first time builders that had no problems. And he made that guide several months ago and prices have dropped. Unless you receive dead parts, you'll be all good. It's why I watch Matt's channel, the level of detail. It's a rewarding experience and you will end up with a much better system for the price.

@@bamandontshadowbanyeah I would rather buy a pre built then build a pc even if it’s more expensive. Just because building a pc is hard and takes more effort lol

[@bamandontshadowban]

@@warzne7077 I don't think building is hard at all. The first PC I ever built I was able to do in 1 hour and had zero knowledge. I simply watched an excellent KZbin tutorial like the ones Matt puts out. It held my hand through the whole process, was much easier than I thought it was going to be and gave me a massive sense of self accomplishment. Also, and this is a big one, I saved over $800 compared to a prebuilt with the same specs (which were also lower quality components). I totally hear what you are saying, but trust me, prebuilt gaming PCs are generally a horrible investment, which is why they are so rarely recommended by respected reviewers like LTT, Gamers Nexus, and PC Builder. The sole exception would be ordering from a private builder with an excellent reputation with their own storefront on eBay or something, but they are rare. Build your own friend, you will thank yourself afterwards, I promise. And just to give you an example of an amazing tutorial, here is a video Matt posted last October, of a great PC that can be built for about $800 right now: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIDWZWuwlL5mlc0 Only thing I would change is the CPU cooler (search for the AK400 or Assassin, simple to install and only like $20) and the PSU, I would buy fully modular. Just think on it. Building a PC is very rewarding and is not hard or time consuming with the right guide. Barring you do not have a disability or something that would prevent you. Save money (don't buy Nvidia) and build a better system. Give it a go buddy!
