Awesome Gaming PC!

It is currently not possible to buy new Geforce RTX 3080 graphics cards. When I saw that this PC was available for immediate delivery, I knew I had to act fast. This is a fantastic deal for what I paid considering the graphics card alone sells for 3/4 or even more than what I paid for this amazing computer. The listing clearly states that the brand of graphics card can vary, so I wasn't sure which one I was getting. News of the 3080s being unstable, possibly related to the type of capacitors some partners were using, was also an issue, but it appears to have been fixed for all card models with the latest Geforce driver update. To my surprise, my system came with a PNY RTX 3080 XLR8. There are absolutely no reviews for it, but as far as I can tell it's a solid graphics card. PNY used a thick metal baseplate to prevent the PCB from sagging. Yes, these days high-end graphics cards are getting so heavy that it becomes a problem. Also, Skytech added a 3D printed support arm to hold it up, so don't worry about sag issues in the long run. Including 7 fans! Three in front, three on top and one on the back blow over the CPU liquid cooler heatsink. The system works well and is silent even when playing Red Dead Redemption II on Ultra settings in 4K! I get a solid 60 fps (this game is speed limited by that), silky smoothness in 3840 x 2160 glory. Taking the GTX 1080 as a base and seeing how RDR2 punishes it at 1920x1080, there's a big difference. Other components of the specific system I received are: ASRock Z490 Phantom Gaming 4/ac motherboard, ADATA 3000MHz 2 x 8GB RAM, ADATA SX6000LNP 1TB SSD. What can I say? I'm impressed that Skytech was able to immediately release the system with the RTX 3080 when all other manufacturers haven't been expecting delivery for at least a month. The only downer is that the second M.2 slot on the ASRock motherboard is not ready, so there is no way to install a second M.2 device.

Pros
