Maingear asserts that the "future of gaming is yours" with its new MG-1 AMD Advantage, as it packs the latest silicon currently available from Team Red. Designed in partnership with shroud, the PC is touted to benefit from compatibility with "lightning fast" PCIe 5.0 and DDR5 internals.

The Zen 5 processor is paired to 16GB of GDDR6 RX 7800 XT graphics and is cooled by a first-party Epic 360mm AiO Liquid Cooler. It is installed on an MPG X670E Carbon (Wi-Fi) motherboard and powered by an 850W PSU from MSI.

The new version of the MG-1 also features a 2TB TEAMGROUP T-Force A440 M.2 NVMe SSD and 32GB of DDR5 RAM rated for 6,000MHz speeds, made up of 2 of the T-Force Delta RGB sticks that can also be bought separately on Amazon.

The MG-1 AMD Advantage is available direct from Maingear with the Ryzen 7 9700X CPU for $2,499, with a 5 9600X-based version to follow.
