Codex Z2 Gaming Desktop: AMD R7-8700F, GeForce RTX 4060, 32GB DDR5, 1TB m.2 NVMe SSD, USB Type-C, VR-Ready, Windows 11 Home : B8NUC-269US

I’ve been really happy with the MSI Codex Z2 overall. It feels like a solid, well-built gaming PC that does what it’s supposed to do without any issues. The case has good airflow, so the system stays cool during gaming and doesn’t slow down because of heat. Performance is smooth, games load fast, and it handles multitasking easily thanks to the fast storage and plenty of memory. I also like that it’s easy to upgrade later, which isn’t always the case with prebuilts. The fans can get a bit louder when the system is under heavy load, but that’s expected and helps keep temperatures under control. Overall, it’s a reliable gaming desktop that offers good performance and value for the price.

It was easy getting it turned on and getting Windows on it. I have throughly enjoyed using this computer and everything runs so smoothly and fast. All of the games I play on it have been of great quality. Its gaming capability and power are so great. I feel like this computer will last many years and have no complaints.

I come from the Mac side of the world, and wanted to get into PC gaming (I have a PS5 and got Frostpunk 2 and it had horrible studder, and thus began my journey into PC gaming). The PC gaming world is frankly pretty nuts... I'm a techy and was even intimidating for me and decided to go with a prebuild. After spending countless hours researching (youtube tech reviews, AI, and everything in between), I landed on this one. I bought a couple dozen games off Steam (if you don't know about Steam, get familiar), and this ran every single modern game I bought beautifully. Frostpunk 2 that was horrible on PS5... buttery smooth on this PC. Also I run 3 27" 4k monitors and runs them without even breaking a sweat. ONE SIDE NOTE. I think most gaming PC's have this issue, but the bluetooth is frankly horrible (has to do with the radio going through the metal casing). Upgraded it with a TP-Link BE9300 PCIe Wifi and Bluetooth card (it has an external antenna module) and now is rounds this thing out perfectly. I've had this a couple months now and love it.

PC arrived with all parts intact and built properly, however, it was defective. Called computer repair after talking with them. They said it it was probably a bigger issue than updating the motherboard. It wouldn’t boot up. I returned this product. Unfortunately, it was a Christmas present.This should not be the case when buying a prebuilt, it should be plug and play. I am disappointed that the provider didn’t test this before shipping, forcing my son to troubleshoot and strip the PC over a few hours. Be warned that you may get a PC with this same issue.

I was skeptical at first because of all the negative reviews but i don’t regret buying it great powerful pc you can play any game on ultra settings this is my first gaming pc ever switched over from console and i would definitely recommend to buy when on sale can handle any game great for flight sim or gta five m i plan to add the 9800x3d in future

This is a great computer and runs graphics-intensive games at really, really high settings, and at frame rates that will curl your hair. But the first few days with it were... An adventure. Strange behavior, freeze ups, slow responses, and freakishly invasive Microsoft bloatware. I still get a weird freeze-up when watching YouTube videos and it happens randomly - just the kind of computer lunacy that drives you to drink.

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.

My son love it is a great product to get and a fraction of a price in a local store, do you research and you will see😉

Awesome

Outstanding machine. Documentation not so much. No idea how run things like leds in the case, what the buttons are for, what USB ports are what speed, etc. There was no supporting documentation. None.
