MSI Infinite A 8th Gaming Desktop PC Review


MSI Infinite A

MSI is certainly one of the best-known brands in terms of their PC components. You may not, however, realise that they do also create full system builds. We’ve certainly seen a few of their laptops in the past, but this time we’re looking at something a bit bigger. Namely, a full-blown gaming desktop PC.

In this instance, we certainly have a treat. The MSI Infinite A 8th is a fully-fledged gaming system. With the system having nearly all MSI components though, they have pushed out the boat a little in terms of the design. This system has lighting everywhere, all of which is controllable via MSI’s sync software. Put simply, this can look as bright or colourful as you want and there’s very little that doesn’t get the RGB attention.

While we will be looking at the system lighting, this is still, ultimately, a gaming PC. While we can appreciate nice lighting effects, we’re not ones to be blinded by it either!

As such, we’re going to put this system under the scrutiny of our testing to see if this could be a fantastic option for your next purchase not just in terms of looks, but also performance!

Accessories

As this is a pre-built system, it’s pretty much ready to go out of the box. The only item in which you really have an assembling choice is the glass panel to the side. This is included separate to the main tower and you are basically given the choice of if you prefer the metal covering to the side (which does have a vent for the GPU) of the full glass panel which, when installed, sits around 1cm.

Out of the two options, we could easily make a case for either design. So it basically comes down to user preference. Although it doesn’t shot very well in photography, the glass panel does have ‘MSI’ embossed lightly into the top right corner.
