msiCodex Z2 Gaming Desktop: AMD R7-8700F, GeForce RTX 5070, 32GB DDR5, 2TB m.2 NVMe SSD, USB Type-C, VR-Ready, Windows 11 Home : A8NVP-436US

An absolute powerhouse of a pc for the price. I took advantage of prime days and saved 30% which was how I was able to get my wife’s approval. I am so glad I bought it! I read some reviews reported that the box was damaged in shipping but mine arrived in perfect condition and very well protected. It was very easy to setup from the initial boot and quickly had me playing my favorite games at 100-140+ fps in 1440p. The fans are quiet and the RGB lighting provides great aesthetics. I did a lot of research on a new rig, weighing the pros and cons of major components and happy I went with this build. Glad I finally made the switch from console after all these years!

When on sale, the 2025 model is the ultimate high-end gaming pc bargain. Haven’t seen a better setup for $1400-1600 range. Build quality, looks, and functionality are all on a very high level.

Runs absolutely fantastic, I am loving be able to actually play games again!I feel like getting this on sale was a steal honestly.I personally can't speak for folks upgrading from a pc, but going from a laptop to this has been like a dream come true.It also looks really sleek on my desk, and gets great connection.Will be back to update later with how it does long term since I've only had it a few weeks now.

Bought on Prime day. Came in with a sound card issue. Downloading drivers made it worse. A call to MSI got me a restore USB to get it working again. Waited a week for the USB. It did get everything except the sound card working. Called MSI again and was told it's a hardware defect.So,a return is in progress. But, Amazon did not offer a replacement. Only a refund.So I'll wait for that refund and hopefully the price is close enough where I can purchase it again and give this system a proper review.

Buying this as a replacement for an 8 year old gaming laptop so it's hard to be disappointed. I put a wifi adapter in the back to speed up the internet as I'm a bit far from our router and can't easily hook up Ethernet in this room. With that, internet is very fast. Google tells me 333 Mbps download and 332.5 Mbps upload.It has empty slots for upgrades, and lots of space for airflow.This is good for my gaming needs - Elden Ring at max settings with 1440p ran at 60 fps. Probably not gonna use this for VR or 4K so that's good enough for me.BTW this thing has 8GB VRAM. I ran some smaller distilled deepseek models and it ran them very smoothly. Fan didn't even need to kick on for the smallest one. But it's gonna slow down if I push for larger ones, and tbh all these small models aren't as smart as 4o or sonnet anyway, so I probably won't use it much for this.Anyway, overall great value for the price. Looks cool and is quiet also :)

Beautiful build, runs quickly, Wi-Fi antenna is included with the computer. It has a good memory capacity for most games, and stays cool with the fans. Also you can turn on different rgb for the fans and customize it in your way.

Very fast!! Great graphics, very surprised!! Returned to get a better CPU.

Great performance at good value. Quality shows throughout
