Great beginner PC
Love it easy to set up this is my first PC didn’t know what to look for but luckily found this it plays AAA games perfectly with no frame drop and still runs relatively silent. For the price it is amazing if you are just getting into PCs it will do everything you need to. It does come with a keyboard and mouse which both feel premium with RGB lights in both of them. All in all I would buy this again I love it and am happy to play on it.

Worth the money
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.

Great Gaming computer with great online assistance!
I’ve had this computer for a couple months playing intense FPS games. After downloading the graphics card program and setting up the card, the picture is great. At one month it notified me that the Event Log file was full. Sure enough, thousands of warnings and failures. The computer runs the games at 160hz as set, and handles every higher setting you can set it to. It’s fast and runs cool. I did crash it while trying to fix an error and messed up. I took it to a shop for a factory image, but it did not work. A full diagnosis later it was said I needed a new SSD. So, I contacted MSI and they told me to get an RMA. That would take 2 1/2 weeks or more. So, after getting it back, I started checking it and found that the WIFI was reporting an error, so I deleted it. The computer would not shut down or sleep. After I did the delete, it started working again. After several more deletes and restarts it was working better, but still had issues. So, I hit F3 and did a complete factory image recovery on it again. It had an issue trying to set it up with WIFI. Quick chat with MSI, and he gave me info on what to do. It’s up and running perfectly now. Their online chat and personal phone call are great! Strongly suggest you register online as you get 3 months added to your Warranty! Yes, I would buy this computer again

Excellent high performance PC
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.

Faulty motherboard, single stick of ram
Be careful here. I bought this PC months ago and immediately had issues booting and playing games.Realized that they only ship this with one stick of ram which is really not ideal for gaming or for the processor… so I had to sell that stick and get 2 more, had to come out of pocket for this.This didn’t fix the problem. After a few months of constantly troubleshooting to get it running, I decided to go to msi support and replaced the motherboard- I had to pay for shipping.I didn’t realize the SSD was on board when I sent it, and now I’m in a battle to try and get it back. So far it isn’t looking good and I’m going to have to pay for a new ssd and another copy of windows.Wouldn’t recommend buying anything from msi based on this awful experience.
