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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

Trash deal. These should be the price for NEW machines
Just curious where you might find comparable new machines at these prices. I've been looking for a few weeks and the cheapest new version of anything with "Intel Ultra 9 285, RTX 5080, 64GB DDR5" is over $3000. So I think that $2340 is pretty good.

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.
Yeah, what's up with this guy? I can't tell if he's trolling or a scalper

I'm the furthest thing from an expert, but it seems that most of the cards themselves indicate how much VRAM. I think all 5070 Ti and 5080 have 16GB. AI seems to back that up.

Like most all things Woot, they're the mothership (Amazon) kindly alleviating the manufacturer of providing a warranty on their Amazon returns. New prices, no real warranty, barely once'd over "refurbs". Hard pass, unless you're out of the loop on the whole Woot hustle.

I bought one last year and it looked brand new. Ran benchmarks, ran prime for a while, all worked great.

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.
Exactly what happened to my MSI. They took the hard drive out, replaced it with a crappy WD green and replaced the RAM with crappy TForce. Picture on Woot showed RBG RAM and I know MSI is not putting in WD Green in brand new. Sent message to Woot and they took $200 off an $1100 desktop, so I kept it. Still watch out for the Ontario warehouse

Buy CPU/RAM/motherboard bundles from Microcenter, get the case from Amazon so if they break it in transit (since EVERY case has glass on it), you will get your money back. Get your graphics card from somewhere local; you can open it at the store and make sure you don't get a brick sent to you in the mail. Go online and buy a Lian Li or bequiet PSU if you're buying for low cost 7-800w, but any 1000+ gold from Corsair or Thermaltake will be best in case you have to warranty it. Get a 990 pro hard drive from samsung; I have never had an issue with those. You're going to spend $1200-$1500 altogether whether you go low-end or mid-tier

Do you not realize that you're contributing to the price increase?
If one forum thread moves prices, we're all in trouble.

Anyone on this thread buy one of these? I bought one and the Windows Home installed "needs activation."

Woot said I could send it back for a replacement. MSI told me to reset it to factory condition and that the BIOS would pick it up and activate it. That didn't happen. Now they want me to send it back with RMA for testing.

Doing all that will certainly cost them more than a key and I'd be out of the computer in the meantime. I kind of what to do it, but I feel like they'll just never send me a replacement or the fixed computer.
