An interesting spot today on a very high-end gaming PC from MSI. This high-power rig sports the most powerful gaming graphics card available, but what's really interesting is that this entire PC build is the same price as the cheapest individual RTX 5090 GPU available to buy right now. You can purchase the MSI Aegis ZS2 C9NVZ-1632US directly from MSI for $3599. When we check RTX 5090 GPU prices at PC Partpicker, we can see that the lowest price of an available-to-buy RTX 5090 is $3599, which also happens to be an MSI Gaming Trio 5090 card. The MSRP of the 5090 should be around the $2000 mark, but initial shortages of the cheaper cards and high demand have caused prices to surge.
The MSI Aegis ZS2 C9NVZ-1632US features a combination of hardware components designed to deliver exceptional performance across a wide range of game titles. Inside this ultra-powerful PC is, first off, an Nvidia RTX 5090 GPU, an AMD Ryzen 7 9700X processor, 32GB of DDR5 RAM, and 2TB of SSD storage. There's also liquid cooling with a 360mm AIO cooler for the CPU, and a 1300 Watt 80 Plus Gold-rated power supply providing the juice for that 5090.
No need to worry about sourcing all your separate components, as this MSI gaming rig comes prebuilt with some of the world's most powerful components already installed and ready to game as soon as you connect the PC to a mouse, keyboard, and monitor. The standout piece of hardware in this prebuilt is the super-powerful RTX 5090 graphics card, which dominates all the competition in gaming.
In our review of Nvidia's RTX 5090, we benchmarked the card against our suite of 16 games and compared the performance against the competition, and also previous generations of Nvidia and AMD GPUs. The RTX 5090 ends up 25% faster than the RTX 4090 across our rasterization suite at 4K ultra. In individual games, it ranges from 6% faster to 43% faster. Where this card really shines is in the higher resolutions, where the power of the GB202 chip shines, and the 32GB of ultrafast GDDR7 runs 33% faster than the GDDR6X memory used on the previous generations RTX 4090.
