The custom build uses the closest parts in our catalog at their latest prices, including a case, cooler and Windows license where the prebuilt has one. Chips sold only to system builders use their nearest retail sibling, and memory or storage sizes not sold on their own are priced per gigabyte. A positive number means the prebuilt costs more than DIY. It doesn’t count assembly, warranty or your time.

Common questions

Which graphics card should I choose on the Chronos 4?

The RX 9070 GRE 12GB configurations suit 1440p gaming at lower cost, while the RTX 5070 Ti 16GB version with the Ryzen 7 9800X3D is the better choice for higher settings and 4K.

Does the Chronos 4 use a standard case?

Yes. Skytech lists the chassis as an Antec C6 Curved, a retail case, which makes parts replacement and future rebuilds simpler than a proprietary chassis would.
