MSI's gaming tower features an upgradable NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 in SLI, Intel Core i7 processors and as much as 64GB of DDR4 memory. In order to put this technology to the test, MSI's booth will allow attendees to put themselves in the shoes of a professional gamer, where gameplay will be livestreamed to an LED screen for the enjoyment of others.
