The popular laptop and PC components manufacturer MSI has launched the fifth generation of its MAG META S PC called the MAG META S 5th.
The PC is targeted toward gamers looking for a budget-mid-range gaming machine. It comes with a stylish case that features an RGB strip on the front and has two slits on the front panel, likely for air intake.
The company is only selling this PC with an AMD CPU option as it comes with the Ryzen 5 5600X processor paired with an A520 motherboard. The Ryzen 5000 series chipset means that the PC will offer support for DDR4 RAM, rather than the latest DDR5 RAM supported on the Ryzen 7000 series.
Handling the graphics department will be an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Super GPU that offers 6 GB of GDDR6 VRAM, has 1,408 shader units, a 92-bit memory bus at 14 Gbps, and a TDP rating of 125W. The config will run most modern games on high framerates with the resolution set to 1080p. E-sports titles like CS: GO, Valorent, and Rainbow 6 Siege will be able to deliver excellent performance since this processor is actually a bit of an overkill for this GPU, and thus does not create a bottleneck.
Additionally, MSI includes one M.2 2280 slot, as well as 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch drive bays. Moreover, the machine offers multiple ports including three Audio jacks, one DVI-D output, one HDMI 1.4, two PS/2, an RJ45 port, two USB 2.0 Type-A ports, and four USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports. The machine has an adequate 500W power supply and relies on air cooling for thermal management.
