    TOTAL BEAST! I was extremely hesitant to buy another prebuilt computer because they usually cheap out on the not so important parts but not with this pc! So far it has been an unstoppable powerhouse.

    Plays everything at 4k or 1440p flawlessly. The 5070ti is definitely worth it.

    Perfect choice for my Win11 upgrade.

    I needed a new PC because Windows 11 would not run on my old hardware. I used to build my own PC's, but I didn't want to spend a lot of time on it, so I chose this MSI Aegis R2. I'm very happy with my choice. I picked it up at my local Best Buy and the box was in pristine shape. It was packed very well, and I had no problems with the setup. It shipped with a 2T Western Digital Green sn3000, so I upgraded to a 4T Sammy 990 Evo Plus. Reinstalling Windows was super smooth, the license was tied to my MS account so it transferred without problems. Then I put the WD ssd in the 2nd m.2 slot and wiped it clean. No problems there either. The case has plenty of room inside, so I was able to add my personal data drive ( HDD ) , it even came with the sata cables. It has a ton of horsepower and it runs quietly. I've had no weird behavior from it, it runs exactly like I'd expect it to. I'm super happy with it.

    Great system for gaming

    I've had this system for a month. I bought it to replace an Alienware system. I needed something as close to custom built as I could get without paying crazy prices or doing it myself. The MSI Aegis has been a beast. It's absolutely the most beautiful system I've ever owned. None of that matters if it doesn't work. This thing runs smooth and quiet. It handles everything I throw at it. Very pleased.

    Awesome prebuilt with i9 and rtx 5070ti

    If you are still looking for a prebuilt which still has an i9 14900F and rtx 5070 ti, get this with eyes closed. The fans are silent, games run awesome with no overheating issues or thermal throttling, less bloatwares. It performs as expected and the fps that u get with games is same as in the ones that you can find in the benchmark videos in youtube. Best part is, the CPU and GPU temps even in 4k gaming with high presets are lower and remains cool throughout the full gaming session. I was a bit worried with the Air cooling that MSI offers with this but not liquid cooling, but, I am really happy with the cooling in this prebuilt. Get this one!! Its really a great product and worth it! Best for those who are looking for rtx 5070ti prebuilts with i9 as now almost all prebuilts of named companies like Alienware, MSI etc have ultra processors with rtx 50 series. I guess this is a new normal.

    Powerful Gaming PC That’s Perfect for Graphic Work

    So far, so good with this desktop. I don’t actually use it for gaming, but it’s been fantastic for graphic production—fast, smooth, and able to handle heavy design work without slowing down. Adding the HDD from my old PC was super easy, and I really appreciate how accessible and well laid out the inside of the case is. Overall, I’m very happy with it so far and feel like I’ve got plenty of power and room to grow. Bonus: It went on sale for Black Friday so I got $$ back with Best Buy's price guarantee. Easy peasy!

    mid-range product

    One of the RAMs was faulty, which prevented it from connecting to the monitor or caused it to restart multiple times before turning on. I thought it would be faster. I mainly use it for design programs, and so far, it hasn't stood out enough to be called excellent. The keyboard leaves a lot to be desired; one of the keys arrived defective, and if I want to type in another language, it can't be configured properly. The mouse is either too fast or too slow; there's no middle ground; I'd think it's a mid-range product.
