According to benchmarks, the Aegis RS wasn’t the fastest gaming desktop we tested, but in real-world use, it edged out the $3,799 Corsair One a200, and was powerful enough to deliver high-end performance for every demanding PC game we threw at it. They’re a fantastic starting point for new PC gamers, and it’s a selling point we found hard to ignore.īut enough about what’s inside the case, let’s talk performance.

Oh, before we forget, included in the box you’ll find an MSI gaming keyboard and gaming mouse. If you’d rather go hardwired, there’s a 2.5 Gigabit LAN port. It’s also where you’ll need to attach the included antennas that provide Wi-Fi 6 connectivity. Seriously, there are enough ports here to connect whatever kind of accessories you need.

On the backside of the case is where you’ll find a plethora of ports. Although, if you did want to add more memory or another SSD, the motherboard has space for you to do so. If all of those numbers are gibberish to you, just take comfort in the fact you won’t have to make any changes or upgrades for at least a few years. Our review sample came equipped with an Intel Core i7-11700K processor, Nvidia’s RTX 3080 GPU, 32GB of memory and a 1TB solid-state drive for the operating system and some games, along with a 2TB hard disk drive for additional storage. Also located on top are the power button, a button that reboots the PC, a USB-C port, two regular USB ports, and audio in/out jacks. On top of the case, you’ll find a dedicated LED button you can use to quickly change the RGB colors instead of using the software. The matte black housing has three RGB fans in the front and another RGB fan inside the case that keeps the liquid running through the CPU cooler at a reasonable temperature. Inside and out, the entire Aegis RS build is made up of MSI components. The total cost of the build we tested tallies up to $2,499, and while that may sound like a lot, it’s a very competitive price for a high-end desktop. It’s loaded with high-end components that can keep up with current AAA titles like Call of Duty or Dirt 5, but is well spec’d enough that it should survive the upcoming onslaught that is Halo Infinite later this year. MSI Aegis RS (11TE-089US Gaming) has the largest desktop enclosure of any gaming desktop we tested, but it’s arguably the best looking as well. Your CNN account Log in to your CNN account
