Skytech GamingBlaze ll PC Desktop Intel i5-10400F, GTX 1660, 1TB NVME, 16G DDR4 3200, AC Wi-Fi, Windows 10 Home 64-bit, Black, ST-BLAZEll-0351-B-AM, ST-BLAZEll, 10400F | 1660

I purchased this product as an upgrade. It has worked well and was at a very reasonable price. It was delivered quickly. I have had it for a few months now and have not experience any issues.

I've been building my own PCs since the days of i386's with math co-processors, so it was not an easy decision to buy a pre-built. My aging 2016 build of an AMD FX with a 960ti was not cutting the mustard anymore, so I started shopping and found the StarTech Blaze II. Having priced out a similar part list at Microcenter for $1800, it was a no-brainer money-wise to purchase this at a sub $900 price point. I figured I could at least use the parts for a budget build if it came in awful, but boy was I pleased with the purchase! Build came equipped with an AIO water cooler for the CPU, which was not listed in the specs and was a nice bonus. All components were of a decent quality and build, including a WD blue NVME drive, MSI pro 560 Wifi mobo, ThermalTake 600W PS and an EVGA 1660 6GB. Runs anything I throw at it on high to ultra settings, and is lightning fast as a productivity PC. Quiet as well, the AIO cooler really keeps it at a low level, which is nice for people like me that don't like headphones. Not a lot of room for upgrades. I was able to just barely finagle a 4tb storage drive in the open drive slot, and it looks like there's room for a 2.5" drive as well. It was able to accept a Windows 11 upgrade after a BIOS firmware update, so it is capable and runs very well in my limited experience with Win11. Magnetic dust filter is a nice touch, and the included keyboard and mouse aren't too bad, although I can see myself replacing the keyboard due to personal preference.Only one slight con that can be remedied with some YouTube knowledge: The ARGB fan lighting can only be controlled by the panel button on the case. With a bit of cable redirection it can be moved to a software controlled option through the motherboard.

It is a great system for the price, obviously the motherboard is on the cheeper side but it performs good.

Good computer for what it's worth. Would have liked to have seen one of the top fans moved to the front for better airflow and a better cooler for the processor for the price but I didn't really buy the computer for those things anyway.I ended up moving the fan myself anyway, it wasn't a big deal. The computer came with the back panel slightly open since it was reinstalled incorrectly but again, not a big deal.Windows was set up great and booted right into the OS with no issues.Luckily I got a pretty nice Gigabyte "Gaming OC" 3060ti with 3 fans instead of some of the cheaper ones that are usually put in these. It all comes down to luck of the draw though, you are not guaranteed to get a card you like, however either way it is still a 3060ti so whatever comes with the computer is great as it is :)Cable management was decent, there were only a few places that needed tidying up but for a prebuilt computer it was actually not bad.In the future when (or if) this computer is available again, I think it is a good value and would recommend someone buy it if the price makes sense given the current market surrounding graphics cards.

$1200 when i got it, great pc for the price it seemed. The mobo is awful. They made the case incompatible with other motherboards. Not to mention, it had a 500w psu instead of 600w. Spend the extra couple hundred on another pc, this one is awful.
