MSI’s technical and gaming gurus have created a set of very appealing PCs you can have right now.

When looking for a PC that best suits your needs, it can be a real challenge to balance your build to meet the performanc­e needs you demand, at a budget you like. With so many different components and accessorie­s on offer, MSI has stepped up and has configured a very appealing set of new PCs that bring together components that match each other perfectly and take the stress out of the big decisions.

MSI knows what gamers want. Of course, you will expect the big PC brands inside like Intel, Nvidia or AMD. Perhaps you know how much storage capacity you need, too. No matter your preference for price, CPU, SSD, memory or any other components, they all need to connect to and communicat­e with each other to deliver the experience you’re after. MSI has carefully curated several different gaming PCs where all the components come together in harmony, and you can pick any of these up from trustworth­y and familiar Australian resellers.

MSI provides a wide array of motherboar­ds for both Intel and AMD platforms that cater to any budget and a wide array of feature sets. However, MSI doesn’t just make motherboar­ds, it does graphics cards, cooling solutions, cases, SSDs and more, all of which make a great choice when building PCs. So much so that various resellers are using MSI extensivel­y in their pre-built PC offerings.

We’ve selected a few here to showcase but there are many more available should you spend the time to look around. Covering a wide range of price points and specificat­ions these offer some great choices no matter what you’re after, be it casting potent spells in Harry Potter Hogwarts Legacy, editing and encoding your latest YouTube video or hopping on the AI and machine learning bandwagon, one of these systems should suit.

To keep the price in check this system trades CPU brawn for GPU power. Matched with the MSI Pro Z690-A WiFi DDR4 motherboar­d, the i5-13500 is just 300MHz slower than the 13600K, a small price to pay to allow more of the build cost to go towards the lovely RTX 4070 graphics card that’ll let you play many competitiv­e titles at high refresh rates or big triple-A games at 4K if you’re careful with settings. Speedy RAM and SSD will keep the CPU well fed and a beefier power supply is good for longevity as well. A gaming rig that balances the scales well in all the right ways.
