Key features of this MSI Gaming Codex Z2 desktop PC
RTX 5060
The RTX 5060 8GB is one of the best graphics cards you can get from the 50-series, if you’re sticking to a budget. It’s very capable when it comes to 1080p gaming, and boasts a wide range of improvements thanks to Nvidia’s new Blackwell architecture. These include GDDR7 VRAM, 4th-gen Ray Tracing cores, 5th-gen Tensor cores, and new features like MFG, which can insert up to 3 frames between 2, and improve perceived framerates when gaming. It’s a great card for competitive, fast-paced, high fps gaming, and thanks to various NVIDIA drivers and optimizations, it’s not too shabby at lighter to moderately demanding creative workloads, too.
Ryzen 7 7700
This CPU is actually a pretty beefy processor for the price of this build. It has 8 cores and 16 threads, which makes it pretty good for multitasking, and a large 32MB L3 cache and big boost clock speed of 5.3 GHz for impressive gaming performance. It may not be one of the X3D processors, which have larger L3 caches, but if you’re looking for low latency, high fps gaming without breaking the bank, then this CPU is a great way to go.
32GB of RAM and 2TB of storage
Now this is excellent for the price. 32GB of DDR5 is more than enough for open-world games and simulators, RAM-intensive creative applications, and heavy multitasking. 2TB is ideal for anyone looking to build a larger gaming library, or those who want to split usage between content creation and gaming, and need room for large media files, such as 4K video, PSDs, and more.

Considerations before buying
So this build packs higher spec components to go with its RTX 5060 graphics card, which you may not need if you’re looking for a more basic, 1080p gaming experience. For instance, it’s very possible to find RTX 5060 gaming PCs for under $850 in sales, but they may have DDR4 RAM, a lower-end CPU, and a smaller 1TB SSD. Going for something like this could save you a fair bit of cash, which could easily go towards a decent 1080p, high refresh monitor, too.
