Gaming Shopping Checklist
Use this checklist to compare MSI systems, components, displays, and gaming gear against your games, performance target, upgrade plans, workspace, and total budget.
- Choose your use case: Decide whether you prioritise AAA gaming, esports, simulation, handheld play, streaming, content creation, PC building, or mixed use.
- Pick the system type: Choose a desktop for sustained performance and expansion, a laptop for portability, or Claw for handheld and docked Windows gaming.
- Understand MSI’s tiers: MEG and Titan target flagship buyers; MPG, Raider, Stealth, and Vector cover premium or performance needs; MAG, Katana, Crosshair, Cyborg, Thin, and G Series emphasise mainstream value.
- Match the GPU to the display: Choose graphics performance for your target resolution, refresh rate, ray tracing, visual settings, and frame rate goal. For laptops, compare the exact GPU and its power level.
- Balance the processor: Faster CPUs matter most for esports at high frame rates, games with heavy simulation, streaming, multitasking, and creator workloads.
- Check cooling and sustained power: Compare Cooler Boost or desktop cooling design, fan noise, operating modes, component temperatures, and sustained performance, not only peak specifications.
- Compare memory and storage: Check installed DDR5 capacity, channel configuration, free slots, SSD size, extra M.2 bays, and upgrade access.
- Select the right monitor: Match screen size, aspect ratio, resolution, refresh rate, response time, panel type, HDR, adaptive sync, ports, OLED care, console support, and warranty coverage for burn in to your games.
- Plan a DIY build carefully: Confirm socket, chipset, case clearance, radiator support, GPU dimensions, PSU wattage, power connectors, memory compatibility, airflow, and BIOS support.
- Choose peripherals by fit: Compare mouse shape and weight, keyboard layout and switch type, headset comfort and microphone, controller platform support, and mouse pad size.
- Check software features: Review which functions use MSI Center, Mystic Light, Gaming Intelligence, MSI Center M, firmware tools, or apps for specific models.
- Review connectivity: Confirm USB-A, USB-C, Thunderbolt, display outputs, HDMI bandwidth, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, audio, charging, and docking requirements.
- Consider portability: For laptops and Claw, compare weight, charger size, battery capacity, fast charging, screen size, controls, travel protection, and dock compatibility.
- Calculate the full setup cost: Include the system, monitor, graphics card or components, peripherals, dock, operating system, extra storage, delivery, taxes, and support.
- Verify local details: Confirm the exact MSI model and suffix, specifications, included items, keyboard layout, compatible accessories, warranty, returns policy, price, and stock in your country.
