All,
I'm going to surprise my 16 year old niece with her 1st gaming PC. She told me, recently, she wants to get into PC gaming and not play on Xbox. I've decided on a budget of $1,000 to $1200. So for the past week, I have went on Youtube for Prebuilt gaming PCs. I, of course, came across Braethorn's channel and found his reviews really helpful. It's where I discovered Skytech gaming PCs. Also Alexander PCs.
I was going to get the Nebula but it's no longer available on Skytech's site. I know it's on Amazon but rather buy it from the vendor's website. Anyway, I think I had settled on the Archangel 4 model. With Intel 5 i12400F and 4060 ti 8gb, 16GB DDR4 RAM, and with 1 TB SSD. However, today I found, on Newegg, the ABS Stratos Aqua Gaming PC.
The ABS specs are: CPU: Intel Core i5 13400F 3.3GHz (4.6GHz Turbo Boost Max) 6 P-Core, 4 E-Core, 16-Thread , GPU: MSI GeForce RTX 4070 Ventus 2X with support for DLSS 3 , and RAM: TeamGroup Delta RGB 32GB DDR5 6000 MHz (2x16GB) .
So if I'm comparing correctly, the CPU is faster and RAM is better. I'm not sure on the GPU difference.
Warranty-wise, I think Skytech's would be better.
What's your thoughts? Does my comparison add up?
I would like to pull the trigger in a week so would appreciate any feedback. Thanks.
