Over the last 30 years I've built many gaming PCs and bought several pre-built gaming systems. I chose Skytech over another online gaming PC manufacturer and am very glad I did. Since they were offering a hard-to-find Nvidia RTX 3080, I took the prep route this time. Got my Skytech Siege 3.0 a few days ago and to be honest it's fantastic. It arrived well protected, with great workmanship and cable routing, and a great Thermaltake S300 case. And they use great parts that I would personally choose if I were to build them. The system works flawlessly, without unnecessary programs, very quietly (thank God!) and extremely powerful. I've run a few 4K games with Ultra Ray Tracing and RTX where possible and this system doesn't sweat. The 1080TI build it replaced was significantly faster than the overclocked 8700K and proved practical. The system was pre-tested with Prime95, came with a quality control checklist and a gaming-optimized BIOS (all CPU cores were enabled in the BIOS by Skytech). These are the brands that come with mine and I'm very happy with my choice (YMMV): Motherboard: Asus Z490 Phantom Gaming 4 (good board, only downside is only one M2 SSD port and it's busy) PSU : 750W Gigabyte 750M Video Card: MSI RTX 3080 Ventus OCM2 SSD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB Like I said, great parts and build. In the near future I will be ordering more from these guys as the wife now wants to upgrade. Thumbs up Skytech. UPDATE: CPU got hot while playing 4k games, around 75-90 degrees. The only way to increase the speed of the fans is remotely. Once the fan speed is increased, it will persist after a reboot. Also place the CPU fan blank on the second CPU fan blank on the board as the manual says it provides support for the heatsink fan. I'm not sure why the Skytech installers didn't use this connector. Set the fan speed to full and on the 2nd slot I read that the heatsink should be set to full. The CPU now runs at around 65-70 C during gaming sessions.
