This refurbished MSI gaming desktop stands out for packing high-end parts like an RTX 5080, 64GB of DDR5, and a 2TB Gen4 SSD at a price that undercuts comparable new systems. The configuration is also described as a strong value for the CPU and memory, with some comparing it favorably to building the same setup from scratch. The main cautions are the limited 180 day MSI warranty, conflicting warranty wording on the spec sheet, and reports of refurb units arriving with swapped parts or Windows activation issues. It looks like a solid spec sheet deal, but the after-sale support deserves a close look.

Common Questions (6)

  • Yes. The 64GB DDR5 and 2TB Gen4 SSD are the main value drivers here, and the listed price is considered strong for that configuration. Comparable parts alone were estimated to account for most of the cost, making the bundle price look favorable.

    BuIlsharkElon69bmacfarland

  • The listing shows an 180-day MSI warranty, while the spec sheet mentions 1 year. That mismatch is a key concern because the deal is refurbished and may not carry the same protection as a new PC.

    masachsjtree1porksmugglers

  • It can arrive looking brand new and run benchmarks and Prime95 without issues. Another buyer reported the system working normally since last December, which supports the idea that the hardware itself can be solid.

    jefflinsFeistyJuice

  • They appear to be shipped and refurbished by MSI directly, with units coming from MSI's California warehouse. That suggests the refurb process is handled by MSI rather than a third-party shop.

    MagentaBoundary187

  • Yes. One unit arrived with a WD Green drive and TForce RAM instead of the pictured RGB RAM, and Woot issued a $200 adjustment after contact. It is worth checking the exact components on arrival, especially if the warehouse source is Ontario.

    Ballstomywalls

  • It can. One buyer received Windows Home installed but unactivated, and MSI's suggested factory-reset/BIOS activation did not resolve it, leading to an RMA process.

$2500 out the door in CA.

Even if you just want to harvest the GPU and RAM, you can recover about $700 for the rest.

That's the crappy market we're in.

Pretty good price considering it 's 64GB and 2TB.

$900 video card (using the best price in the past week)
$700 64GB $700 (slick deal in the past month)
$300 2TB $300 (just guessing, not that super expensive always now anyway and it's Gen4, not Gen5)
$200 9700X I sold one for $200 retail $270

$2100 before PSU Case OS which is maybe $150 total max to $2250 DIY build.

How did you get to that math? (Edit: oh wait I misunderstood what you meant... I think I did the reverse below)If you just sell GPU and RAM and be left with $700 for the remaining, I guess GPU+RAM sell value you have is is $2340 - $700 = $1640.I assumed it was higher since I valued then at $1175+$700 for 5080 and 64GB of RAM.This is a decent deal though, I came up to $2800 if I DIY the purposes.$1175 5080 - I'm buying one on the MicroCenter sale today so it's def the price level we can reach https://slickdeals.net/f/19777818-gigabyte-nvidia-geforce-rtx-5080-windforce-sff-overclocked-triple-fan-16gb-gddr7-pcie-5-0-graphics-card-1179-99?v=1&src=SiteSearch. I buy them used for $1000 cash. ($1175 plus tax is $1250).$700 64GB - Bestbuy may still have this. I bought just over a month ago$300 2TB. - seen this range lately$400 285K CPU? - I think it's $500 retail for 285K but I see used market lower and seems to stay up for a while. No one seems to love this thing either. $175 PSU / Case = $75 + $100 (Lian Li V100 for price level, and 1000w I see on SD last week or so)$150 Mobo is crazy expensive for intel and this.I'm at $2,800 and $400+ more expensive than this deal.
Bro, you're on too many of these threads.

I'm saying if you keep the GPU and RAM, you can probably get $700 for the rest without any friction.

Cuz I am always looking for a deal and trying to see where the price is going. and hearing other people's estimates is very helpful to recalibrate my numbers woot

Roger on the $700, I think you are right.

You seem to be reinvesting most of it in cocaine. Slow down a bit.

Try focusing on securing the Intel ARC GPUs that are about to be offloaded onto the secondhand market.

Save these for people who finally want to play post-pandemic games.

I bought the 9900x variant last December, and it's been fine. Nice to see it back close to what I paid then.

I believe these desktops are shipped and refurbished by MSI directly. I remember purchasing a laptop from a sale like this it came from their California warehouse.

There's a large warehouse in Ontario, CA that is a black hole for tech.

It should be nuked from orbit due to massive fraud export back to China.

If you ever see a shipping estimate pass though Ontario, CA and a day gets added to your FedEx tracking, start filing a complaint.

Didn't a 29 year old guy named Chamel Abdulkarim light one of those monster warehouses in Ontario, CA on fire a month or so ago?

Why are those ARC cards going to be offloaded? Why would we want to buy them?
