We just spotted a deal at Walmart that drops the MSI Codex R2 AI gaming desktop with an RTX 5070 to $1,499 shipped. That’s a straight $501 off its usual $2,000 price, making this a solid value for a prebuilt powered by Intel’s Core Ultra 7 265F processor and NVIDIA’s RTX 5070 12GB graphics card. There’s also a nice bonus included here through Intel Gamer Days, with qualifying purchases getting FREE digital copies of Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis and STAR WARS: Galactic Racer. Each game is valued at $59.99, adding up to $119.98 in extra value. That bundle makes the already-solid $1,499 price even better, especially if you were planning to pick up either of those upcoming releases. Head below for a closer look at the full specs.
As far as the specifications are concerned, MSI’s Codex R2 AI pairs Intel’s Core Ultra 7 265F processor with NVIDIA’s RTX 5070 graphics card with 12GB VRAM. You also get 16GB of DDR5 memory and a 1TB SSD for storage, which is a solid starting point for a gaming desktop in this class. The RTX 5070 is the main highlight here, giving you plenty of horsepower for high-refresh-rate 1440p gaming and even some 4K play depending on the title and settings. The rest of the setup is fairly standard for a modern prebuilt, with built-in Wi-Fi, RGB lighting, and Windows 11 included out of the box. What really seals the deal are the included games as part of Intel’s Gamer Days sale – you get both the upcoming Tomb Raider Legacy of Atlantis and Star Wars Galactic Racer.
This PC would pair nicely with Samsung’s massive Odyssey Neo G9 curved gaming monitor, which is currently a whopping $840 off. Woot also has a bunch of gaming monitors discounted right now, with prices starting at just $118 if you’re looking for something a little more affordable.
