Desktop PCs have changed. Performance is generally solid, hardware cycles last much longer, and the average user isn't itching to buy an entire system. With new PC sales falling sharply, it might be time to offer other options, and one of them is Nvidia's PC Gaming Revival Kit. What the green giant offers in this package is one of its GeForce GTX 1060 cards, a Corsair SSD, and a power supply with 80 Plus certification.
Are you thinking about replacing your computer? Have you concluded that only a complete swap will do? The rise of laptops and All-in-One formats has reduced expansion capabilities, but that doesn't change the fact that many enthusiasts still build their rigs with all sorts of ports, slots, interfaces, and sockets. If you're one of them, wait. A precise purchase might extend your PC's life. While some titles already demand four physical cores, the biggest pressure is always on the graphics card. Add to that a robust power supply, and of course, I still swear by solid state drives.
What does the bundle include?
Nvidia decided to tackle those three angles with the new PC Gaming Revival Kit. First, the bundle includes an MSI GeForce GTX 1060 3GB OC Twin Frozr card (it could have been 4 GB, but that's the configuration). Then there's a SSD Corsair Force Series LE of 240 GB, compatible with SATA 3, reaching sequential read speeds of 560 MB/s. The third element is a 450 W Corsair CX450M power supply with 80 Plus certification, ideal for replacing those generic horrors that could detonate at any moment. To finish, Nvidia includes two gifts: a t-shirt and a digital copy of Gears of War 4.
Price and availability
Several sources indicate that Nvidia released this bundle in limited quantities in various markets, one of which is Spain. The reported price for the PC Gaming Revival Kit is 399 euros, which, compared to the cost of components and the game separately, doesn't offer a great benefit (less than five euros difference). Still, what the bundle does have is a bit of extra convenience and the assurance that these components should work together without issues in almost any PC.
