It's a tough time to build a PC right now, given all the price surges caused by the AI boom and geopolitical tensions, making things even more uncertain. During these periods of turbulence, deals go from being just enticing to becoming a lifeline for the hardware market. As such, we've spotted some great savings for you — Skytech Gaming has its RTX 5070 prebuilt on sale for as low as $1,355 in both black and white.
Get the Skytech Gaming Shadow 5 (black)
To get the offer, you need to stack three promo codes together: SWARM, SMS50, and XEN. Just enter these one by one at checkout and watch the already-discounted price drop from $1,499 to just $1,355. While the names might be a tad bit dramatic, you can choose either the "Shadow 5" or the "Archangel 5" as they're both identical systems, just with different colored cases. The promo codes work on both.
As for the rigs themselves, they feature AMD's still-excellent Ryzen 7 7700X processor with 8x Zen 4 cores that can boost up to 5.4 GHz. It may not be a top-end X3D chip, but it's still more than enough for midrange gaming and productivity. That CPU has 16 GB of DDR5 RAM to talk to, which is a borderline luxury in this economy. While we'd like 32 GB with a system of this caliber, you get what you can right now.
Accompanying that CPU is Nvidia's RTX 5070 that currently sits at #4 in our best GPUs roundup as the "best overall pick based on current prices and performance." It can churn through 1080p and 1440p gaming while giving you a taste of even that 4K goodness. With features like RTX HDR and DLSS 4.5, you get further mileage out of your card, and it doesn't feature the incendiary 16-pin power connector either.
To round things out, the system also features a 1 TB PCIe 4.0 drive, a 750W 80+ Gold rated power supply, a B650 motherboard, and a 360mm AIO. Skytech doesn't specify what specific parts it's using for these, but they should get the job done. You also get Windows 11 home pre-installed, which is worth something. The case is Skytech's own OEM part; it features a panoramic design and comes with 4x pre-installed ARGB fans.
If you were to spec a similar system on PCPartPicker, it will come out to almost $1,700 with Windows or $1,570 without. The prebuilts aren't kitted with any proprietary components either, so you're genuinely saving a decent chunk here. So, if you've been looking to finally build that gaming PC but the shortages have stopped you, this is the perfect time to grab Skytech's Archangel 5 for just $1,355 and start gaming.
