MSI Aegis RS Review
MSI Aegis RS mid-tower gaming desktop is the first we’ve tested with one of Intel’s new “Rocket Lake” 11th Generation desktop CPUs, an eight-core Core i7-11700K on an MSI Z590 motherboard. Its well-designed enclosure and high-quality components make it an appealing option to constructing your own tower. In our gaming tests, the Aegis performed admirably against the Alienware Aurora R10 Ryzen Edition, while that tower’s AMD Ryzen 7 5800X performed somewhat better in other applications. In early 2021, availability of gaming desktops (or, more particularly, their key components) remains an issue, but if you can get your hands on the Aegis RS for less than MSI’s list price, it’s an amazing deal, replete with a hard-to-find Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 video card. It is the recipient of our most recent Editors’ Choice award for high-end, midsize gaming towers.
