Review on Skytech Gaming Shiva HDMI Gaming Desktop: A Powerful Build for Enhanced Gaming Experience by John Frey

After reading all the reviews on the Shiva model and seeing the mixed reviews and hearing about some of the horrible things that could happen (DOA, unsecured hardware, power cycling, bios and/or bluetooth issues) I realized that there may be people fickle or computer illiterate. However, I'm in IT and it all made sense to me and I took a chance and bought the Shiva model first. 1.5 hours later without my knowledge there was another Skytech PC called Arch Angel which was released on 10/15/2021 and knowing that Shiva was already released in February or March (roughly) 2021 I got Shiva right away cancelled. and realized that the newer PC (Archangel) will most likely be improved and redesigned to be better! BTW both Shiva and Archangel had the same CPU/RTX etc (same parts, although most likely not branded). God I was right! Yes, it is now cheaper to buy a ready-made graphics card than to buy it outright because of cryptocurrency. I pulled the trigger and am very happy about it! Yes, it's true that PC manufacturers use OEM parts. Opening this tower and looking inside was terrifying and like I was a kid at Christmas opening presents at the same time (first time I've ever bought a pre-made one) and I was a little overwhelmed! Me with an amazing AORUS GeForce RTX™ 3060 Ti ELITE 8G and a 1TB Western Digital M.2 Ultra SSD, the PSU was a GAMDIAS HELIOS 600 Watt GOLD which is the only PC part I would question since I don't know the brand and I've never seen it!?!? Obviously it's a Ryzen 5600X with an amazing Wraith RGB cooler and ADATA XPG DDR4 3200 RAM plus all the RGB fans and an amazing Thermaltake case, all packed and boxed incredibly carefully! I was thrilled to say the least! I really felt like I made the right decision in choosing Skytech over other brands. I will say that this is so true for Skytech PCs compared to others in terms of best value for money in FPS category <---- my first 3DMark spy test and I placed 8th (the are the top ten) in all reviews from people who have exactly the same processor / graphics card / and no overclocking and / or cheating! I was thrilled afterwards! I've switched to real world gaming and LOL, I've had a consistent MAX FPS in World of Warcraft on Ultra settings and I've been running my Hunt Showdown game on Ultra settings at 130 FPS and up! The build quality was excellent! Everything looked stellar and clean! I am very happy with this PC! Definitely 5 stars! Pros: Fast, beautiful, quiet, cool temps (AORUS GeForce RTX™ 3060 Ti ELITE 8G and Wraith CPU cooler are a force to be reckoned with when researching them particularly) Good and heavy PC, quality parts, quality processing ! Cons: Well, there was a scratch on the tempered glass of my case, about 2 inches, and it looked blurry, but considering how good this computer is, I don't give it an A! I will definitely buy from Skytech again! Hope this helped! PS Nice and heavy keyboard and mouse came with this PC. And the RGB lighting looks amazing, and there are no extra programs! Gigabyte OEM motherboard but very good! You may not update the BIOS unless SkyTech offers or deems it necessary. I literally had no problems, nothing went wrong with this computer! Everything works and this PC is AWESOME!
