MSI has announced a new lineup of gaming desktops, all of them powered by 11th Gen Intel Core processors and GeForce RTX 30 Series GPUs. The lineup includes a wide variety of price tags, with the most affordable product starting at $1,349 and the most expensive going for $2,649.
While building your own gaming PC is typically the most frugal way to get into the hobby, there's still a market for powerful pre-built rigs. MSI has a reputation for building impressive computers that aren't terribly overpriced, and the new lineup looks to be filled with solid products. Some of the models are still waiting to receive a price tag, but the majority of them fall in the $1,500+ range.
The new PCs can be kitted out with the latest Nvidia RTX 30 Series GPUs, are compatible with up to 11th Gen Intel Core processors, and the other components are highly customizable. They all come in the usual RGB-laden case – letting the world know you're a true "gamer."
“MSI continues its pledge to be the most trusted name in gaming and esports as we strive to lead our industry in breakthroughs in design, the pursuit of excellence, and technological innovation,” said Andy Tung, CEO of MSI. “We know gamers value reliable performance, breath-taking visuals, high fidelity sound, precise control, and smooth streaming when choosing a PC, which is why MSI is one of the first to offer this new generation of Intel technology to our customers as soon as it becomes available.”
