PowerSpec G722: A New NVIDIA 5080 Prebuilt Desktop

The PowerSpec G722 has hit Micro Center store shelves, making it one of the first available prebuilt gaming desktops available with NVIDIA's RTX 5080 GPU. If you want next-gen graphics without the hassle of building a system yourself, this could be one of your earliest options for the RTX 50-series launch.

Micro Center’s PowerSpec brand has built a reputation for offering high-quality, no-nonsense gaming desktops, delivering well-balanced configurations without the markup of boutique builders. The $2,699 G722 continues that trend, pairing NVIDIA’s latest GPU with an AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, 32GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 2TB NVMe SSD. Other PowerSpec configurations with NVIDIA 50-series GPUs are expected soon. 

For those unfamiliar, PowerSpec has long been Micro Center’s in-house PC brand, offering solid gaming and workstation builds that cater to professionals and enthusiasts looking for performance without flashy, overpriced extras. Unlike some prebuilt brands that use proprietary parts or limit upgrade potential, PowerSpec systems are typically built using off-the-shelf components, making them easy to upgrade and repair.
