Only from Micro Center: The New PowerSpec PCs with AMD Ryzen Processors
“Micro Center’s PowerSpec line of desktop computers has been gaining attention for offering gaming PCs with the specifications build-your-own-PC enthusiasts would select for themselves, yet which are priced so aggressively that they often actually cost less than if BYOPC enthusiasts were to build the computer themselves. And PowerSpec gaming machines cost much less than gaming PCs from competitors. PowerSpec PCs with AMD Ryzen processors offers our customers a new level of processing and graphics power for gaming and graphics-intensive applications,” said Jones. The new PowerSpec models featuring AMD Ryzen processors will be available beginning in March1.
