Highlights
- Key Specs
- Processor Model: AMD Ryzen 7 8000 Series (Your computer's processor is like its brain. Working in combination with system memory, the power of the processor determines the complexity of software you can run, how many programs you can have open at the same time, and how fast those programs will run. Most computers feature an AMD, Intel or Snapdragon processor.)
- Storage Type: SSD
- Total Storage Capacity: 2000 gigabytes
- System Memory (RAM): 16 gigabytes (Random-access memory (RAM) is a computing device's short-term data storage, which allows active information to be accessed quickly. The size and type of RAM determines how efficiently the device can handle large amounts of information at one time. For example, gaming or video editing requires more RAM for optimal performance.)
- Graphics Type: Dedicated (Dedicated graphics uses a separate graphics card for processing video images. Because it does not use memory from the system's RAM, there is no extra burden on the CPU and graphics are processed more efficiently. Integrated graphics shares system RAM to process video images.)
- Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 (Often referred to as a "graphics processing unit" (GPU), this device is responsible for displaying image content and decoding/encoding video content in programs and games.)

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Incredible Performance and Smooth Gameplay!
I’ve been using this gaming PC for a few weeks now, and I’m seriously impressed. The performance is outstanding — games like Cyberpunk 2077, Call of Duty: Warzone, and Fortnite all run flawlessly with high frame rates. Load times are practically instant thanks to the SSD, and the cooling system keeps everything running cool and quiet even during long gaming sessions. The build quality feels premium, with clean cable management and vibrant RGB lighting that gives it that perfect gaming setup look. I also appreciate how easy it was to set up — just plug it in and go. Whether you’re a competitive gamer or just want a powerful PC for work and entertainment, this machine delivers way more than expected. Definitely worth every penny — highly recommend it!

Prebuilts have come a long way!
I’ve built several pcs over the past 10 years and decided to take a break for once and get a prebuilt. This is one solid quality pc that uses AMD’s AM5 platform which means upgradability down the line. Great for 1080p gaming and some 1440p gaming. Don’t know about 4K gaming. I usually stick to 1080p because I prefer high FPS. I am also using it for my business analytics homework. I guess I got lucky with my build and received one with the MSI RTX 5060 Ventus OC 3x. This gpu has triple fans and is much bigger than the one pictured. It also has a sag bracket which is a nice little touch. The 2tb of storage is also fantastic to have right off the bat. One thing I had to do manually was go into the bios and enable EXPO profile 1 in order to get the RAM to run at 6000mhz, other wise it will be running at 4800mhz. (Confirmed this with MSI tech support) Only cons I have is the case is slightly wider than other mid towers I’ve had and the glass panel is a little tricky to remove. I also wish it had two sticks of 8gb ram rather than just the single stick. Either way I plan on upgrading to 32gb of ram eventually. Overall, I am satisfied with my purchase. If this is your first gaming PC, it can teach you a lot.

The MSI Aegis Z2 with Ryzen.
The MSI Aegis Z2 with Ryzen 7-8700F processor, 16 GB of RAM, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 graphics card and 2 TB SSD has seemed to me a very complete purchase for games and general use. Its performance is excellent for playing in 1080p with high settings and also responds well in 1440p if some details are adjusted. The large storage capacity is a strong point, as it allows you to install many games without worrying about space, and the system starts and loads programs quickly. In addition, it offers options for future improvements, such as increasing RAM or changing the graphics card later. As a point to consider, it comes with 16 GB of memory that, although sufficient for most games, can fall short for heavier tasks such as video editing or streaming, and the RTX 5060 is not the best option if you are looking for maximum performance at very high resolutions with ray tracing. Even so, due to its value for money and the possibility of expanding components, it is a very balanced desktop computer and recommended for those looking for power and storage from the beginning.
