Modders always come out with some wild PC designs for new game releases, but this custom Starfield PC from Skytech Gaming might be one of the coolest I’ve ever seen. It’s a machine that comes from a collaboration between Skytech Gaming, Intel, and SignalRGB, and you can enter for a chance to win it.

The PC looks amazing, but it has a lot of interesting functionality, as well. The built-in screen includes various system stats, so you can monitor your performance while using the machine. In addition, indicator lights on the front show your status in-game through the SignalRGB app. The indicator lights are truly unique to Starfield. They show your ship’s stats, and they’ll start blinking red if any of your ship’s systems are damaged.

At the bottom, you’ll find two Elgato Stream Decks built in, along with four control knobs that can control settings light your lighting brightness and volume.

That’s great, but it’s the stunning attention to detail that makes this machine look so great. There’s weathering on the bottom and sides of the machine, giving it a lived-in look that fits perfectly with the aesthetic of Starfield. Even the three front-panel USB ports fit seamlessly into the design of the machine.

It’s plenty powerful, too. Although you should still follow our best settings for Starfieldthe game comes kitted out with an Intel Core i7-13700K, AMD RX 7900 XTX, 32GB of DDR5 memory, and a 1TB NVMe SSD. The machine doesn’t have one of AMD’s exclusive Starfield-themed GPUs, but I’ll take this custom PC over one of those GPUs any day.

Although it will be tough to upgrade, you can pull down the screen at the front of the machine to service the internals.

Outside of Starfield, the company also demonstrated the ability to use custom lighting to sync your peripherals together, as well as connect them with other games. Though, let’s be honest, nothing beats the look the PC has when it’s running with Starfield.

As a PC gamer, 2024 just made me sad
Fingers holding an Intel 285K.

Fine, I'll say it: 2024 wasn't a great year for PC gaming hardware. I'd even go as far as to call it pretty lame. There were plenty of great PC games to enjoy, but when it comes to hardware, it felt like one big letdown.

A lot of my most anticipated launches ended up getting delayed, and most of the upgrades we got were a bit of a wet blanket. Here are all the various things that proved to be a disappointment in 2024, both to me and to many other PC gamers, but why I'm feeling hopeful for 2025.

You can now buy a refurbished Steam Deck straight from Valve — if it’s in stock
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth running on the Steam Deck.

Have you wanted to buy a Steam Deck, but aren't sure about the price? The $399 LCD model is the least expensive, but it's worth a little extra for the Steam Deck OLED, which offers double or even quadruple the onboard memory. Good news: You can now buy a refurbished Steam Deck directly from Valve. Fair warning: These are selling like hotcakes on the coldest day of the year. At the time of writing, you could pick up a 512GB Steam Deck OLED for just $439, or a 1TB version for $519.

So what does refurbished mean, exactly? According to Steam, the units are put through all the same tests as brand-new retail units, and each Steam Deck receives a factory reset, software update, and thorough examination. All of the different systems are checked and tested, including the battery.

Reviewers hated this AMD GPU. Here’s why I still recommend it
AMD RX 7800 XT and RX 7700 XT graphics cards.

It's rare that reviewers universally hate a graphics card, but most wouldn't put AMD's RX 7700 XT among the best graphics cards you can buy. As you can read in my own combo review of the RX 7800 XT and RX 7700 XT, the latter GPU just didn't make sense when it launched more than a year ago. Time has marched on, however, and the RX 7700 XT doesn't get the respect it deserves today.

You probably have a negative assumption about this graphics card, and I wouldn't blame you. Tom's Hardware said the GPU got stuck "between a proverbial rock and hard place," while TechSpot was even more harsh: "Purchasing the Radeon 7700 XT at $450 is ill-advised when the 7800 XT is available, leaving us questioning AMD's rationale behind this launch." User reactions were harsher still.
