The best gaming PCs come in all shapes and sizes. Some people don't mind having a skyscraper-sized box on their desk, while others would prefer something smaller for their media center or limited desk space. Right now, MSI's Trident 3 compact PC with a 10th generation Intel CPU and RTX 2060 Super graphics card is available for $150 off the regular price.

With the RTX 30 series starting to emerge and the Nvidia RTX 3080 launching tomorrow, we are seeing companies slashing prices on their current generation machines. But that doesn't mean we won't be able to get good hardware, and it will be a while before we see a mainstream GPU in the same price range as the RTX 2060 Super. Probably not until next year.

The model being sold is powered by the Intel Core i7-10700F processor, an 8-core, 16-thread processor that was just released this year. It is a high-quality gaming chip and is close to the best CPU currently available for gaming.

It also comes pre-installed with 16GB of DDR4 memory, a 512GB SSD, a 1TB hard drive for additional gaming storage, and Windows 10 Home. The graphics card is an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 Super, a good choice for 1080p and 1440p gaming.

This PC is a bit more expensive than other desktops with the same RTX 2060 Super graphics card (this $1,300 desktop has nearly identical hardware), but the main selling point here is the unique design: the Trident 3 is horizontal The Trident 3 can be placed either horizontally or vertically, and with the stand, the depth is just under 4 inches. This makes it ideal for carrying around in a media center, on a desk with limited space, or in a bag for LAN gaming.
