The 4K-Ready MSI Codex Z2 GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Gaming PC Drops to $1,699 After a $600 Discount
Walmart is offering a significant discount on the MSI Codex Z2 gaming PC, which is fitted with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti graphics card, cutting the price from $2,299.99 to $1,699 with free shipping. This is notable because prebuilt desktops with this GPU typically retail for over $2,000, and the RTX 5070 Ti alone usually costs $950-$1,000, making a standalone purchase of comparable components considerably more expensive.
The system pairs the RTX 5070 Ti 16GB GPU with an eight-core AMD Ryzen 7 8700F processor, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, a 1TB SSD, and a 750W 80 Plus Gold power supply. The RTX 5070 Ti is highlighted as capable of running games at 4K resolution and 60 frames per second or higher, performing similarly to the previous-generation RTX 4080 Super, with its 16GB of VRAM also making it suitable for AI workloads.
In short
- MSI Codex Z2 gaming PC with RTX 5070 Ti now $1,699 at Walmart
- $600 discount, cheaper than buying the GPU alone
- Handles 4K gaming at 60fps or more
Explained simply
A gaming PC is a desktop computer built to run demanding games, and a prebuilt model comes assembled with its main components ready to use. Its graphics card creates the images shown on screen; the RTX 5070 Ti is a high-end Nvidia card with 16GB of memory, while the Ryzen 7 processor, RAM and SSD handle other computing tasks and store games and files.
4K refers to a high-resolution screen format, and 60 frames per second means the game displays 60 images each second, making movement appear smooth. How well a PC performs depends on the game and its settings, as well as the rest of the system. The card’s memory can also be useful for some artificial intelligence tasks, though a gaming PC is not the same as a specialist AI machine.
