Best Buy’s Black Friday in July PC gaming deals are still going strong, but we just spotted one of the best deals on a gaming desktop at Walmart – MSI’s RTX 5070 Ti-powered gaming desktop for $1,699.99 shipped. That’s $600 off its usual $2,300 price and $49 below the $1,749 deal we highlighted just last month. The discount is particularly notable since gaming PCs equipped with an RTX 5070 Ti and 16GB of VRAM still commonly sell for well over $2,000, with many comparable systems landing closer to $2,500. This model also includes a Wi-Fi motherboard, a 1TB SSD, and bundled gaming peripherals. Head below for a closer look at the full specs.
MSI’s Codex Z2 desktop packs AMD’s Ryzen 7 8700F processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti GPU with 16GB of VRAM. It also comes with 16GB of DDR5 RAM and a 1TB SSD, for reliable everyday usage. It’s true that the memory is a little light for a desktop in this price range, but thankfully, RAM is one of the easiest components to upgrade later. The RTX 5070 Ti is the real highlight here, as desktops built around this GPU are still commonly selling for more than $2,000. That makes this particular configuration stand out at its discounted price, especially for folks looking to jump into some 4K gaming. Other features include built-in Wi-Fi, a tempered-glass side panel, RGB lighting, and Windows 11. MSI also throws in a gaming keyboard and mouse, adding a little more value to the package.
We’ve rounded up a few more notable PC gaming deals from Best Buy’s sale below, covering everything from desktops and peripherals to other battlestation upgrades that might be worth adding to your setup.
