Graphics on monitor is excellent. Quiet, speed, multiple outlets.

Amazing, so many outlets, I can remove my USB strip! Very easy to set up. This is my first MSI desktop/tower. It's a bit smaller in size then cheaper one so I like that and it was one of the reasons I chose this. I've been getting MSI laptops for more that 12 years I do graphics and need the space and speed. The other day my MSI laptop got over heated, I'm on the computer 12 hours + a day and it was just too much. So, I took the hard drive out of the laptop and connected C to C to new MSI tower and got all my info. I do have an external hard drive also, but it didn't have the latest files I needed from the day it shut down. I panicked but got it just in time to file quartiles today.

This is my first MSI product, but they are known for good quality products. Very happy. Graphics are crisp and clean (can play any game on highest settings) FPS keeps up with no lag. RGB lights are fun. Fans are quiet and keeps the unit cool. Has all the inputs/outputs you need.

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!

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.)

Purchased for VR gaming.

Pro's
Solid Performance for VR gaming
Quiet fans
solid construction
easy to follow setup instructions

Con
only con I can come up with is there is a bit of bloatware that is not needed. However the bloatware is easy to remove and not hidden like some other premade computers

processor_description: R7-8700FGraphics Description: RTX 5070Style: 2025Verified Purchase
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Replacement for the first (defective) computer runs fine
Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2025
processor_description: R7-8700FGraphics Description: RTX 5070Style: 2025Verified Purchase
Replacement works well; I'm in the process of uploading my games. So far, the graphics are very nice (DX11) and the one game I've loaded so far runs very smoothly.
My only gripes: (1) If the print on the keyboard was any smaller I'd need a magnifying glass to read it. The keyboard is definitely NOT a gaming keyboard; yeah, it's got pretty LEDs, but that doesn't make it a good keyboard. The feel is wrong and -- like I said -- I can hardly read it; (2) The mouse is fairly rudimentary. Again, pretty LEDs, but functionally a cheapo.

Why would a manufacturer package a gaming computer with a non-gaming keyboard and non-gaming mouse? Luckily, I have replacements I can swap in. And right now, after the first debacle (the first computer shipped wouldn't even start), this computer appears to run fine.
