    The bricked GPU sent to me.

    *TL/DR*: Shady af company out for max profit on used parts that WILL fail. Good luck on getting a return and ffs, take your business elsewhere. I've come back to overhaul this review because every day something new happens with this garbage heap. First and foremost, these components are all used and refurbished components from Ebay. Something Lyte isn't excited to advertise and an important note for computers they are charging a brand new sticker price for. I got my PC a month after ordering and have had nonstop problems since and Lyte's go to saying that you'll see throughout these review responses and by email is "we'll make this right" which they absolutely will not especially when it comes to requesting returns. These guys are a bunch of clowns running a lucrative scam operation. My hard drives weren't formatted on start up and my GPU was a year out of date for driver software. Updating it threw it into an error 43 lockout that had to be addressed by a tech. Not a huge deal but still frustrating af. The Windows at start was also not authenticated and I had to escalate that issue to Ethan the manager to get a Windows key. I requested a consolatory GPU and they sent me a water logged brick that you can see in the pictures with obvious early stages of water corrosion. At this point i'm furious and start requesting just cash for the worth of the GPU while they insist I ship the fried one back. (probably to throw in another computer after a dress up as I see it). Now the RAM is deteriorating rapidly that I had diagnosed by a local certified technician. I can't play any games and am even getting blue screens while just internet browsing so i'm out another $67 for RAM I had to order because I want nothing to do with the parts these guys dish out. Do yourself a favor and please just do your own build. There are instructional videos all over the place and some Ryzen builds can be done in less than half an hour. Also in the photos is a build from pcpartpicker.com that is competitively priced to the Lyte Hyper and is both a substantial upgrade and all new components.

    Despite what a lot of others have said I overall had a great experience with Lyte Gaming. My PC is well built, cable management was done really well, and it runs great. The only reason I'm not giving a 5 star review is because I did have a little trouble getting a refund after I switched to the instant shop option without the GPU. But once I called they were happy to help and I got my refund the next day. I also called another time to upgrade my cpu and they were super helpful. I think they're a good company, and I'm happy with my purchase from them.

    Custom LYTE PC

    I ordered my PC March 1st 2021 I finally got the PC minus the GPU 8 months after I placed the order (understandable given the shortage and scalpers) which is due the the fact that the option to do so wasn't initially available. Firstly I want to say I'm happy with my PC but there were disappointments when it arrived. The PC got here in a completely different case than I ordered, and the 240mm AIO that I ordered (Corsair) was instead an EK AIO. Personally I don't know which is better but when you spend almost 3k on a machine I would expect to be made aware of these changes during the build process and especially before I get the machine in my hands. After 8 months of waiting I wasn't going to send it back at that point. Fast forwarding from the PC's November arrival to Feb 2022, I contacted LYTE to discuss the stagnancy of the gpu queue whereas it had maybe gone down by 1 place in line in 2 months since I have gotten the PC (it's important to note that I was offered the choice to wait for an EVGA 3080 when the majority were gigabyte branded). After contacting support I was told they are no longer receiving any GPU's from EVGA. So I was on wait list for a product that wasn't coming and I was never told so. They offered an upgrade to a 3080ti for an additional $600 after I had already paid $940 for a 3080 a year ago but I didn't bite. They told me they'd get more gpus from gigabyte at the end of the month and they'd ship one of them to which I agreed. Later that same day I got a notification that the gpu had shipped which seemed very strange to me considering I was told I'd get one at the end of the month. When the gpu arrived it appeared that it might've come from an RMA and looked resealed. The sticker holding the package closed has definitely been opened. The gpu was clean and looked mint though and is in working order. I was given a Gigabyte RTX 3080 Vision 10g. I popped it in to see that it worked just fine and finally threw in the towel having finally obtained the gpu and completing the build. I didn't feel like playing the game anymore and I kept it. After having the complete machine together finally after almost an entire year I'm happy with the way it performs. The PC has had zero issues so far and the cable management was pretty clean. Some closing thoughts. I'm grateful finally to have a PC and that it works and performs well. But all in all my experience is really mixed. As far as I feel about LYTE... Their customer service is ok. I got in touch with them easy when I needed to and made progress. But they really need to work on their contact with their customers. If you offer me specific parts to pick from and let me pay for them, then I should 100% be made aware of changes being made to my order and not just finish out when I get it. With all that being said... I ordered a PC from LYTE during a difficult time and it took a year but they built me one and it's amazing. They just need to be more forward with what they're doing with your money.

    I ordered a custom PC from them, with a 3080 graphics card. They emailed me regularly on how the build was progressing and the stages of getting all the parts. It took about four weeks to get the PC from when I ordered it, which is faster than they even said was the standard build time. It came safe and sound, was easy to set up, and had all the instructions. It runs all my games amazingly. The cable management was excellent and organized.

    Beyond happy with this pc! Came in a timely manner.

    Terrible service. Won't honor the prices on their own tags because their team won't update them…read more Never shopping here again and I worked for Best Buy for three years. Horrible.

    I purchased a stainless steel gas stove from Best Buy and had the worst outcome that was not taken…read morecare of. Spoke with Tia at 1pm 3/13/25, and told her about the stainless stove being cancelled and it stated it wasn't available but I went on the website the exact same day and it's available for the price of $1367.99 when I originally bought it on 2/10/25 it was on sale for $849.00. A month later on 3/12/25, it was supposed to be delivered on 3/29/25. I receive a email stating that my order was cancelled due to availability. I went on the Best Buy website the same day as the email from my exact order of the stove I purchased and it was still available but wouldn't be delivered until 4/29/25 for the price of $1367.99. Tia stated a supervisor is the only one that can override this situation and stated a supervisor would be calling me in about an hour. I never received the call. I get home later on and called Best Buy (around 5:06pm 3/13/25) again and gave them the case number. When I gave the case number to the next representative, he stated there wasn't anything in the notes which Tia stated she left them. I had to tell him everything again. We spoke for 15 mins on and off and then was told I would be speaking with a supervisor and they would speak with me. 20 mins goes by the representative checks in a few times and then after that he checks in at the 46 minute mark. He was really being polite and doing a good job for the most part but the service and frustration from Best Buy is overwhelming with dealing with all these things. The representative asks me at this point that it might be longer and I tell him I've already waited since the 15 min mark and it's 46 mins mark now. I told him I would wait. As I write this and I'm still on hold for the supervisor, it's now at the 50 min mark. There is no telling what the outcome is going to be but I feel Best Buy needs to honor this sale. There is no reason why they charge my Best Buy credit card and wait a month to cancel the order. All that needed to be done was contact me to see if I would like to be refunded or wait till 4/29/25 when the order would be delivered (which is what the website states and Tia stated earlier when on the phone with her). I spoke to a supervisor after being on the phone for 1 hour and 10 mins. The supervisor stated she is very sorry but is unable to honor the $400.00 difference even though I bought it and was charged for it. The money is refunded. She stated if I wanted to, I could purchase it again and she would compensate it but it would be no where near the $400.00 savings. She stated it would be a percentage. I told her that is very unprofessional and not on her part but on Best Buy for giving a loyal customer a deal on a stove to just take the deal away and not even have it as a rain check. Mind you the email stated to get the area ready for the stove to be delivered and I did just that the day before I received the cancellation notice. She stated there is nothing she can do. She apologized and I told her I would never buy anything from Best Buy again. Mind you I've purchased tv's iPads, air pods, iPhones, Meta oculus VR, gaming computer, and a whirlpool stainless still fridge. To me that's a lot of our hard earned money and I've contributed to Best Buy I feel a great deal. Their hospitality and honor towards their customers is horrible. No customer whether you purchased 1 item or 20 items should ever be treated in this manner. I'm sure it really doesn't matter to them but they definitely lost a loyal customer on this.
