In this article I will provide my review of the Skytech Siege 4 and will also talk about some of the games you can play with this prebuilt PC. I will analyze the following:
- The entire build
- Processor used for Skytech Siege 4
- Graphics Card (NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 12GB)
- RAM and Hard Drive
- List of PC games you can play and at what resolution/graphics setting
Overview of the Entire Build – Skytech Siege 4
The Skytech Siege 4 is meant for gamers who want to enjoy their games at 1080P resolution with really great graphics. This build is similar to Skytech’s Nebula build in that they both use the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 graphics card. The major difference between the two is the processor. The Nebula uses a Ryzen 5 3600 processor vs the Skytech Siege 4 which uses an Intel Core i5 10400F. Both PCs will have similar performance and similar price point (Nebula is ~$100 more).
You should take a look at the review of the Skytech Blaze 3.0 if you want 4K gaming. The Skytech Azure on the other hand is meant for 1440P gaming.
Overall, my opinion is that the Skytech Siege 4 has a good processor, good graphics card, good amount of RAM and storage capacity. It’s a good entry-level gaming PC. It’s perfect for the gamer who enjoys rich graphics.
All Skytech PCs are made in the U.S.A. (so you get U.S. based support) and they come with a 1-year warranty with lifetime technical support.
Review of Skytech Siege 4’s Processor
The Skytech Siege 4 comes with an Intel i5 10400F 6-core 2.9GHz (4.3 GHz Max Boost) processor. What’s important to know about this processor is that it cannot be overclocked. This is different from other builds that have the Ryzen processor (such as the Nebula) which can be overclocked. All Intel processors that are denoted with K can be overclocked, but not processors denoted by F. The “F” in this case tells us that the processor requires a dedicated graphics card and that there is no on-chip integrated graphics processor.
Additionally, Intel iX 10 series processors (for example the 10400F) are two generations behind at this point and about to be three generations behind when Intel 13th gen processors drop.
However, that being said this processor is still going to surpass any recommended system requirements from any AAA game in the near future. To date, there has not been a game that has been released that calls for recommended system requirements. That being said, Competitive Specifications and Ultra 4K Specifications do call for higher end processors. But, that level of gaming is not who this PC is targeting. This PC targets those gamers who don’t want to break the bank but still get a great gaming experience. They are okay with gaming on 1080P and getting exceptional graphics and performance. Those higher end processors are meant for higher resolutions, higher graphics output, and faster performance.
Games like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 / Warzone 2 are examples of games coming out with advanced system requirements. This is due to competitive gaming requirements and 4K. Let’s take a look at how this processor ranks against the system requirements for Warzone 2.0 – a modern AAA game in 2022. We will specifically review its Competitive and Ultra 4K specifications.
You can see that Competitive Specs call out for an Intel i7 8700K. Ultra 4K Specs call out an Intel i9 9900K. Competitive Specs would allow you to play at 1440P resolution with maximum graphics settings. The Ultra 4K Specs would allow you to play on 4K resolution with maximum graphics settings.
| Cores (Threads) | Base Clock | Boost Clock | L3 Cache | |
| Intel i7 8700K | 6 (12) | 3.7 | 4.7 | 12MB |
| Intel i5 10400F | 6 (12) | 2.9 | 4.3 | 12MB |
| Intel i9 12900K | 16 (24) | 3.2 | 5.2 | 30MB |
You can see from the table above that the Intel i5 12400F CPU is superior to that of the Competitive Specifications of Warzone 2. It is also less than the Ultra 4K Specifications of Warzone 2. This is truly a processor that exceeds the recommended system requirements, but does not quite make it in to the upper levels of processing power for 4K gaming with a high refresh rate. Again, this all fits into the picture of the target audience for the Skytech Siege 4. You can play 1440P resolution with Ultra graphics but may lack a little on the 4K gaming side.
Skytech Azure – RAM and Hard Drive
RAM: The Skytech Nebula comes with 16GB of DDR4 3200MHz. I have said this in other reviews of Skytech gaming PCs: I would not go less than 16GB of RAM for a new PC. 16GB of RAM should be your bare minimum for a new gaming PC. You could certainly have 8GB of RAM for gaming but it would not make sense with this setup.
Another thing to consider is that DDR5 memory will be mainstream in the years to come. However, DDR4 is mainstream today and is a good selection for the Skytech Azure’s target audience.
Hard Drive: The Skytech Siege 4 comes with a 500GB NVMe SSD drive. NVMe is the latest in storage technology and is 6 times the speed of traditional SSD. 1TB of storage capacity will allow you to have enough storage for any modern game. If you need to add storage down the road, you can.
What Games Can I Play on the Skytech Azure?
The processor, RAM, hard drive, and graphics card all play important roles in determining the games you can play. The most important component with this build that we need to focus on will be the graphics card. NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is a mid-range graphics card in the 30 series product line. It was made for gamers who are upgrading from 1080P resolution to get a more immersive experience. You can certainly play 4K resolution but graphics quality and performance might suffer, depending on the game.

Please do note that your results may vary. New patches and changes to the game along with background applications you run will all have an impact on your performance. These are also conservative estimates in most cases so you may be able to get better performance on 1440P resolution than listed here. You may even be able to game with ultra-settings on 4K with some of these games, but do know that the quality and performance may not be optimal or even good in some cases.
