Cooler Master’s NR2 series PCs offer plenty of gaming prowess in a compact 18-liter chassis. Because this is a premium product for a semi-niche audience, prices are usually higher than a comparably equipped gaming PC, but not always. Case in point, Amazon is currently offering the Cooler Master NR2 RTX 5070 gaming PC for $1,799.98 shipped after you apply a $400 off coupon on the product page. This brings the price in-line with other standard-sized 5070 prebuilts but you get a stylish, powerful system that won’t take up much desk space.
Save an Extra $400 Off the Cooler Master NR2 RTX 5070 Mini PC
This Cooler Master NR2 gaming PC is equipped with a liquid-cooled AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU, GeForce RTX 5070 GPU, 32GB of DDR5-6000MHz RAM, and a 2TB SSD. The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D is a 8-core 16-thread processor with a 5GHz turbo boost frequency. It’s cooled by a robust 280mm all-in-one liquid cooling system featuring custom length tubing. The system is powered by an 850W 80+ Gold SFX power supply, again with custom length cables.
The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D is still one of the best gaming CPUs
Although it has been succeeded by the newer 9000X3D series of processors, the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D still maintains its reputation as an all-star gaming CPU. According to Passmark, the 7800X3D’s gaming performance surpasses that of the latest generation Intel Core Ultra 7 265K. The 7800X3D also consumes less power and produces less heat than the 9800X3D while maintaining nearly the same gaming performance.
The GeForce RTX 5070 GPU is an excellent choice for 1080p or 1440p gaming
The RTX 5070 GPU is as good of a value as you’ll get with a GeForce card. This is the card most people would recommend for 1080p or 1440p gaming without blowing your budget (nowadays an RTX 5070 Ti costs $1,000 or more by itself). Compared to the previous generation GPUs, the RTX 5070 offers a slight performance improvement over the RTX 4070 Super, which was and still is an excellent GPU. The fps gain is greater in games that support DLSS 4.5 with multi-frame generation. Check out Jacqueline Thomas’s RTX 5070 review for our hands-on impressions.
