You are stuck choosing between two RTX 5060 Ti prebuilts where one has double the VRAM and one has double the RAM. This comparison names the winner for your specific use case and tells you when the Thermaltake is the smart buy.
In short: The Skytech Gaming O11 Vision wins for most gamers because the 16GB RTX 5060 Ti and 32GB of RAM prevent bottlenecks for years. The Thermaltake LCGS View is only better if you find it much cheaper or your workloads are heavy multi-threaded productivity rather than gaming.

Prevents thermal paste degradation that causes both PCs to run hotter and noisier over time.
Clears the fans in either PC safely, cutting down the noise that makes the Thermaltake louder under load.
The differences at a glance
The two systems look similar on a spec sheet but diverge in the parts that determine long-term performance. You are comparing the processor architecture, the memory capacity of both the CPU and GPU, and the cooling solution. It helps to understand weighing component quality against raw speed before going further.
The table below highlights the exact components and features that will change your experience. Read this before you look at any individual component review.
| Feature | Skytech Gaming O11 Vision | Thermaltake LCGS View i560T-170 |
|---|---|---|
| CPU | AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D | Intel Core i7-14700F |
| GPU VRAM | RTX 5060 Ti 16GB | RTX 5060 Ti 8GB |
| System RAM | 32GB DDR5 | 16GB DDR5 |
| Cooling | 360mm AIO Liquid | Tower Air Cooler |
| PSU | 650W Gold | Standard 80+ (vague spec) |
Graphics memory: why 16GB beats 8GB for longevity
The single biggest difference is the GPU’s video memory. Modern games at 1440p already use 10 to 12GB of VRAM when you enable high textures and ray tracing.
The 8GB card will force you to lower settings or disable mods to stop stuttering. The 16GB card keeps you on high settings for longer and handles upcoming titles better.
- If you plan to keep this PC for more than three years, the 16GB version is a must.
- If you only play competitive shooters at 1080p, the 8GB card is still functional today.
Winner: Skytech Gaming O11 Vision. The extra VRAM prevents the most common bottleneck in gaming PCs.
CPU and system RAM: gaming speed vs. multitasking
The Ryzen 7 7800X3D uses 3D V-Cache technology that boosts frame rates in CPU-bound games like Valorant and CS2. It delivers smoother minimum frame rates, which means fewer stutters in menus and cutscenes.
The Skytech also includes 32GB of system RAM, while the Thermaltake has 16GB. Having double the system memory allows you to run a game, a browser with many tabs, and Discord all at the same time without a dip in performance. Loaders in this spot often ask about old laptop as well.
If you stream while you play or use the PC for light video editing, the 32GB of RAM and the Intel i7 are both strong. But for pure gaming, the AMD chip and higher capacity win.
Winner: Skytech Gaming O11 Vision. It is faster in games and better equipped for multitasking.
Cooling and noise: a quiet build for your desk
The Skytech uses a 360mm AIO liquid cooler, which pushes heat out of the case through large fans. The Thermaltake uses a tower air cooler, which pulls heat directly out of the chassis.
Under sustained load, the air cooler on the Thermaltake will spin up faster to maintain temperatures. This makes the system noticeably louder, especially if you have the PC near your desk.
Both systems are capable of keeping the CPUs in safe temperature ranges. However, the liquid cooling gives the Skytech more thermal headroom for when you push the processor harder.
Air dust accumulation makes both PCs noisier over time. A compressed air duster helps you keep the fans clean without taking the system apart completely. There is more on determining memory requirements for tasks in a separate guide.
- Skytech: Quieter under load, better for desk setups.
- Thermaltake: Slightly louder, but simpler hardware.
Winner: Skytech Gaming O11 Vision. It runs quieter and cooler for longer.
Pro tip: Blow air into the fans at the same time they are spinning up to avoid throwing too much dust into the bearings.
Lets you keep the fans clean and quiet, which matters most on the noisier Thermaltake build.

Build quality and included accessories
The Skytech ships in a Lian Li PC-O11 Vision case, which has a clean layout and easy cable routing. It also comes with a basic gaming keyboard and mouse.
The Thermaltake uses a View case with glass panels. It looks good but the cable management is tighter. It does not include any peripherals, so you must buy a keyboard and mouse separately.
The Skytech also has a clearly listed 650W Gold power supply. The Thermaltake listing is vague about the PSU, which makes it harder to know if it supports a future GPU upgrade.
If you want a plug-and-play experience with everything needed to start playing, the Skytech is the better package.
Winner: Skytech Gaming O11 Vision. It includes more extras and uses a more recognizable case.
Which should you buy?
Your final choice depends on what you will actually do with the PC. Match your daily tasks to the strengths of each system.
- For long-term gaming and modding: Choose the Skytech. The 16GB GPU and 32GB RAM will outlast the Thermaltake without needing a GPU swap.
- For a tight budget at 1080p: Choose the Thermaltake. If the price difference is large, the 8GB GPU is still fine for modern esports titles.
- For heavy multitasking and streaming: Choose the Skytech. The extra system RAM prevents stuttering when other apps are open.
- For a quiet desk setup: Choose the Skytech. The AIO cooler keeps the noise down better than the air cooler on the Thermaltake.
For most people, the Skytech is the buy-once, buy-right choice that will still feel fast in three years.
Maintenance for a long-lasting PC
Both systems will run better over time if you keep them maintained. Thermal paste degrades after a few years, which can make the CPU run hotter and noisier.
If you notice the fans spinning up more than they used to, the first thing to check is dust. After that, a repaste with a high-quality compound can restore the original cooling performance.
- Clean the fans with compressed air every 3 to 6 months.
- Replace the thermal paste every 3 to 4 years.
- Monitor your temperatures in Windows to spot issues early.
Recommendation: Keep a tube of high-performance thermal paste handy for when it is time for a repaste.
Safety first: Always power off, unplug, and ground yourself before opening the case or touching the motherboard.
Restores peak cooling performance when you open the case for a repaste, keeping both PCs running quiet.

The bottom line
Buy the Skytech Gaming O11 Vision if you want a PC that handles today's games and still feels fast in years to come. Buy the Thermaltake LCGS View only if your budget cannot stretch and you are okay with a potential future upgrade. For most gamers, the Skytech is the better platform.

Frequently asked questions
Can I upgrade the RAM in the Thermaltake LCGS View?
Yes. The motherboard has empty slots, so you can add more RAM. However, you will likely need to replace the existing 16GB stick to get to a balanced 32GB configuration. The Skytech already includes 32GB out of the box.
Is the 8GB RTX 5060 Ti enough for 4K gaming?
No. 8GB of VRAM will struggle to run 4K gaming at high settings, especially with ray tracing enabled. You would need to lower the texture quality or turn off ray tracing to maintain playable frame rates.
Which PC is better for video editing and streaming?
The Thermaltake’s Intel i7-14700F is a stronger chip for heavy multi-threaded tasks like video rendering. However, the Skytech’s 32GB of system RAM makes it the better choice if you are also running a game and a streaming app simultaneously.
