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

This thing is an absolute unit! Runs triple 32” screens like a dream. Capable of ultra settings in moderation. Super quiet and super fast! WiFi is excellent! Super easy to setup. Works as it should right out of the box!

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.

PC arrived broken, would not turn on. Tried troubleshooting with MSI and Amazon support to no avail. Returned for a full refund, purchased different model with similar specs from a local brick and mortar location. I am sure its a good PC based on the specs, but be careful making this big of a purchase. (Only left a review because Amazon kept spamming me reminders to do so, despite refunding. Go figure.)

It works perfectly fine. I was having issues with it turning off the display and sound with the fans ramping up and I think it was Discord having Hardware acceleration. Ever since I took it off I can actually play heavy games like Black Desert and The First Descendant. With both games running it's still extremely silent. I can't hear the fans at all. Was very skeptical about buying a pre built but I'm glad I got one. If anything I'll probably switch the case for something more appealing since the case is very plain looking.

UPDATE: I've had my replacement for a few weeks now. The PC is very quiet when doing light work on it. Noise picks up slightly when gaming. I did experience some light lag in some heavy load tasks and upgraded the RAM to 64 from the 32 and couldn't be happier. Everything is running smooth and quiet and fast. Have had a couple bad boot ups where it wouldn't get to windows. No idea why, a couple reset buttons fixed it...for now.Only other upgrade I will be doing is adding another hard drive.The system 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.

Well so far one week with this PC, I’ve had a couple that I’ve built in the past, my last one had a 3060 with a Ryzen5 5600x and 16GB of ram, with no SSD haha, only hdd and no Ethernet cable for personal reasons, but recently I saw this one on Discount and even then I’ll admit it was a bit pricey, but if you have the money, go for it, great value and perfect for anyone who isn’t trying to spend time researching and building one, ignore all the nerds out there, obviously there is always better, it just depends on how much money and time you want to spend, but as soon as I got this one, I pushed it to its limits, Ive been playing games like Fortnite, Battlefield 6 Beta, Path of Exiles 2, Marvel Rivals, and PUBG, all on Ultra settings and getting at least 200-300+ frames depending on game, even while streaming on discord and twitch(and I get 30mbps on average). Can have multiple applications running at once and can seamlessly alt tab from one to another without any delay or lag. Easy to set up, definitely an upgrade to what I used to have, its more than enough for the average persons who’s trying to switch from console to PC, hopefully this was helpful to someone, I’ll edit and update if anything else come’s up, but first impressions have been amazing. Plus its definitely friendly for those who want to add more memory or switch ram, lots of room, and the case gets more than decent air flow, it always stays cold and I don’t think I’ll have to upgrade this build for years.

I absolutely love this PC! The performance is fantastic—everything from gaming to multitasking has been super smooth. The specs are exactly what I was looking for, and it looks great on my desk.That said, when it first arrived, the audio wasn’t working at all, which was a bit of a letdown. I wasn’t thrilled about the idea of mailing it back for repairs, but thankfully, their support team was amazing. They walked me through a full factory reset step-by-step, and that fixed the issue completely.Since then, everything’s been running flawlessly. I’m really happy I stuck with it—now it’s easily one of the best PCs I’ve owned.
