Woot, an Amazon-owned retailer, is currently offering substantial discounts on factory-refurbished MSI gaming PCs. An additional 22% off is available when using the coupon code "BIRTHDAY26" at checkout. Amazon Prime members can take advantage of free shipping, while non-members will incur a $4.99 shipping fee. These pre-owned systems are described as being in "like new" condition and include a six-month warranty from MSI.
Among the available configurations is a powerful system featuring an AMD Ryzen 9 9900X processor, a GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, 32GB of RAM, and a 2TB SSD, priced at $2,223. The RTX 5080 is positioned as one of the top-tier graphics cards, capable of handling demanding modern games at 4K resolution with high settings and ray tracing enabled. Recent software updates like DLSS 4.5 aim to further enhance frame rates through improved upscaling and frame generation.
A more budget-conscious option includes an AMD Ryzen 7 8700F CPU, a GeForce RTX 5070 Ti GPU, 32GB of RAM, and a 2TB SSD, available for $1,677. This configuration is still designed for 4K gaming and offers performance comparable to the previous generation's RTX 4080 Super, particularly in titles supporting multi-frame generation. The RTX 5070 Ti also boasts 16GB of VRAM, making it suitable for certain AI workloads.
For those seeking an even more affordable entry into gaming PCs, a system with an AMD Ryzen 7 8700F processor, GeForce RTX 5070 graphics card, 32GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD is priced at $1,326. This setup is recommended for 1080p and 1440p gaming and can manage most games at 4K, though the RTX 5070 Ti offers a noticeable step up at that resolution. The RTX 5070 represents a modest performance increase over the previous generation's RTX 4070 Super.
