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!

This gaming PC exceeded my expectations! It runs every game smoothly on high settings without any lag or overheating. The RGB lighting looks amazing, and the case design is both stylish and well-ventilated. Setup was super easy, and everything worked perfectly right out of the box. I love how quiet it runs even during intense gaming sessions. Perfect for gamers who want great performance and a clean, modern look. Highly recommended!

If you're looking into buying pre-built this is the one to go for.
I've been using this for a month now, which hindsight isn't very long however I've put it to the test with games, even resource extensive ones like Fallout and Skyrim, no hangups working with other apps alongside it either.
Pros:
- Price. It's a fair deal compared to buying custom or any other retailer. Plus it came with perks such as a month free for Discord Nitro, and Xbox Game Pass.
- Updated Delivery. Was kept in the loop throughout the process of shipping and it arrived on time.
- Fresh from the box minimal setup. All that's required is to remove the shipping packaging from the chassis, plug in the WiFi antennae, power source and monitor then you're ready within mins.
Display options you'll have 1 HDMI port and 3 Display Ports to work with, so it's great if you have multiple displays.
Cables aren't included so I recommend buying either to suit your setup.
- Expansion Room. There's room for if/when you decide to upgrade hardware.
The connection that isn't plugged anywhere is for additional hard drives if you decide to add any.
Cons:
- Size. As mentioned by other folks it's rather large, as a mid-tower size you're going to need room for it.
- Keyboard & Mouse. It does come with both however both are rather basic, in fact they don't register at all with the MSI Center where you change RGB settings.
- MSI Center. This is more about the app rather hardware, sometimes you have to restart the program to have it sync with your RGB settings. Also sometimes have to press the button on the chassis to have it functional.
Overall, it's a great rig and there's very little to complain about. Would recommend for both a starter or your next upgrade!

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.

Excellent PC, comes with an RGB keyboard and mouse that are really great quality along with a 5060 graphics card which is one of the best you can get. Theres plenty of RGB fans to keep the intererior cool so you can play for hours without worry of overheating. I Definitely recommend this pc especially because it comes with 2TB of storage which is more than enough for multiple large games. Im very satisfied with my purchase and will be using best buy for all my future electronic needs!

The Aegis Z2 gaming desktop with the R7 8700F, 16GB of memory, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060, and 2TB SSD is an awesome, affordable buy for anyone stepping into the world of gaming PCs. It’s not the absolute top-tier machine out there, but it strikes a perfect balance between price and performance, making it ideal for gamers who want solid power without breaking the bank. Since it’s my first pre-built PC, I was really impressed by how smooth it runs games like Fortnite, Call of Duty, and even some AAA titles at good settings. Plus, it has plenty of room to upgrade down the line, so you can boost performance as your needs grow. Overall, it’s a great entry point into gaming desktops with reliable performance and future-proofing options. Definitely a 5-star pick by me!

This PC Everything you need if you’re not a complete nerd.
Build quality is great
Setup was very simple and easy
50 series RTX DLSS is an absolute game changer for gaming.
It runs everything you want at a great frame rate
Niche games
Badly optimized games like squad and gray zone warfare
You name it.
This pc can handle it.
If you’re a 1440p purist or want to run games at 4k
This pc might not be for you
But if you’re just looking for a machine that just gets the job done without limits, this is it.
Very satisfied
Bonus points too with the tote bag that it comes with incase you want to transport it
And also the 2TB SSD is a big plus because you won’t have to be having to uninstall games to just install a new one.
Great machine overall
Not for you if you’re a perfectionist or a nerd though.

I love this PC so much. Its my first PC and its amazing. It handles gaming so well and my sims game runs like BUTTER!!! For someone looking for a beginner friendly PC, THIS is IT. Once again this is a great pc and I feel that it will last me a very long time. Also I'm trying to get a stand for it right now so I got it sitting on a box to prevent it rom collecting dust (hopefully) so don't mind the picture.

This is a great gaming pc for all ages. I am not tech savvy but set up was so easy. My only concern with this pc was that the sides are a bit wider than the desk bottom pictured would allow for the area we wanted to place it in but we managed to take out the shelf on one side to accommodate this big pc! Our teen daughter loves the pc and we would 1000% buy this again.

Its amazing overall! Initially bought it at a good price on a discount and as a student, it was pretty affordable as my first pc. I use it for gaming and normal activities as well. Its fast, can handle a lot of games, and meets my necessities for average use, gaming, and studying.
