Great price in the current market

In the current GPU market, buying pre-built graphics cards is probably the best way to get one and it would be hard to find a better deal for the money. With many prepackaged builds you don't really know what you're getting for the internals, here you know that everything from the MSI brand will be excellent, from the liquid cooler to the motherboard, power supply and GPU. Oh, that GPU. I don't know if the exact model 3070 will be the same for each of them or if it depends on what they had in stock when manufacturing it, but mine came with the excellent Suprim X 3070 which is one of the best they have manufacture . The cooling on this machine is consistently incredible, with temperatures rarely exceeding 50C, even when running modern games with ray tracing and all power settings selected. I wish it had more SSD storage or RAM than HDDs, HDDs make no sense in a modern gaming computer in my opinion. The good thing is that it has plenty of room to add more SSD storage and RAM in the future if you so desire. The only other issue was that XMP wasn't enabled in BiOS, so I had to enable it manually to get full speed out of the installed RAM. All in all it's a monstrous computer and you'll be hard pressed to find a better deal even if you order something custom made.

Pros
  • Good workmanship
Cons
  • Expensive insurance
