Table of Contents
There’s currently $250 off this MSI Codex Z2 RTX 5060 TI 8GB gaming PC at Newegg, which is now down from $1,699.00 to $1,449.00. This is more of a premium RTX 5060 Ti prebuild from MSI, and one that delivers on design thanks to its sleek, space-saving, and more minimal PC case with aRGB throughout. The CPU is the strong mid-range Ryzen 7 8700F, which is a good choice for both multitasking and gaming for the price, and there’s even a large 2TB SSD and 16GB of DDR5 here, too. If you’re going for something very good for 1080p gaming and need a build that can handle streaming and content creation well, then this PC could be worth checking out while it’s on sale.

Key features of this MSI Gaming Codex Z2 Desktop PC
RTX 5060 Ti 8GB graphics card
This is one of the best graphics cards to buy if you’re sticking to a budget, but want something a little more punchy than the entry-level in the 50-series. It has 4608 CUDA cores, 8GB of new, faster GDDR7 VRAM, and a 128-bit bus. It’s a good graphics card for 1080p gaming at higher fps, especially if you want something for competitive play, and it’s capable of 1440p with a few tweaks to settings and the use of MFG. As with the rest of the 50-series, it’s built on Nvidia’s new Blackwell architecture, which features the latest 4th-gen ray tracing cores and 5th-gen tensor cores, both of which offer a significant performance uplift in their respective areas.
Ryzen 7 8700F processor
This processor is a good mid-range option to pair with the RTX 5060 Ti. It has a decent core and thread count of 8 and 16, which allows it to be used effectively for multitasking and multithreaded workloads, like video editing or streaming, and it has a big boost clock speed of 5GHz and a relatively large 16MB L3 cache. For 1080p and 1440p gaming, it’s more than enough and doesn’t drive the overall price of this build too high.
Storage and RAM
This build opts for a modest 16GB of DDR5, which is still fine for gaming, multitasking, and handling demanding creative applications, but goes all-in with a large 2TB SSD, which is a curious choice. Needless to say, that 2TB SSD is going to save you a load of storage management hassle and allow you to build a pretty big games collection, without having to worry too much about running out of space.
Things to consider
To be honest, for an RTX 5060 Ti 8GB gaming PC, this is a bit on the pricey side, especially given that 16GB versions are similarly priced from other brands. What you’re really paying for here is the CPU and MSI build quality, but we’d highly recommend looking at other options before pulling the trigger. Skytech, iBuyPower, and Cobratype are good places to start your search, and you can often find RTX 5060 TI 16GB options discounted at Newegg.
