With Amazon’s October Prime Big Deal Days still ongoing, there’s still time to save money on a brand-new gaming PC, and MSI has you covered with this discount on the Codex R2 desktop, slashing the price by $250 and bringing the cost of this rig down to $849.99.
That’s a savings of 23% which is a pretty incredible deal on a desktop with decent specs like this one offers. This is also the lowest price this desktop has ever been on Amazon, beating its previous lowest price by a little over $68. Taking that into consideration, this is a great way to score a gaming PC upgrade for less money than usual.
So now that we’ve talked about how good the savings are, let’s talk about why this is a decent PC for the money. For starters, it comes with a decent amount of storage right off the bat at 1TB. Now that can easily be filled up, but you can also add more storage as needed. This is a desktop PC after all, and it was designed to be upgradeable. In addition to the 1TB SSD, it has 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and it’s powered by an Intel Core i5-1400KF CPU and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 GPU.
The RTX 4060 means this PC will be compatible with NVIDIA’s DLSS 3 technology, and that’s going to help get you boosted frame rates without having to take too much of a hit on graphics quality. So you get an all-around better experience in your games. As a nice little added bonus this setup comes with a keyboard and mouse included. You can always buy a different keyboard and mouse, or use ones that you already have. However, if this is your first gaming PC or you simply need a new mouse and keyboard, you won’t have to spend the money on those peripherals.
You’re basically set up for gaming right away as long as you already have a monitor or pick one up to go with this machine. That’s a pretty awesome deal if you ask us.
