MSI Codex Z2 (AMD Ryzen 5 8400F / NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 8 GB)

Buying advice

Consider this Codex Z2 for games and everyday tasks when you do not need the extra CPU cores and 2TB storage of the Ryzen 7 model. It combines a six-core Ryzen 5, 8GB RTX 5060, 16GB system memory and 1TB storage. A CPU-rendering or compilation workload that uses many cores is a reason to compare the Ryzen 7 or Core i7 options. Heavier multitasking calls for more RAM, and GPU scenes exceeding 8GB call for more graphics memory. Ordinary office use alone does not require the discrete GPU.
