The MSI Codex R2 Intel Edition RTX 5070 Prebuilt Gaming PC Drops to $1449 With Free Delivery

Excellent prebuilt option for 1080p and 1440p gaming, and it's capable enough to run games in 4K as well.

Walmart is currently offering a prebuilt gaming PC with an MSI Codex R2 RTX 5070 graphics card for $1,449, including free shipping. The MSI Codex R2 is equipped with an Intel Core Ultra 7 265F CPU, which boasts 20 cores and a maximum boost clock of 5.3GHz, making it a powerful processor for both gaming and multitasking. Paired with the GeForce RTX 5070 GPU, a 750W power supply, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 1TB M.2 SSD, this prebuilt PC is suitable for 1080p and 1440p gaming.

The RTX 5070 is known for its excellent performance in these resolutions, though it can also handle 4K gaming, albeit at a higher price point. Compared to the RTX 4070 Super, the RTX 5070 delivers a slight performance boost, especially when using DLSS 4.5 with multi-frame generation.
