MSI's compact gaming PC with an RTX 2060 Super is $150 off right now
Making way for the next generation of GeForce-based machines we're starting to see current-gen discounts.
The best gaming PCs come in all shapes and sizes. Some people don't mind having a box the size of a skyscraper on top of their desk, while others prefer something smaller—perhaps for a media center or a desk with limited surface area. Now you can get MSI's compact Trident 3 PC for $150 off the usual price, complete with a 10th-gen Intel CPU and an RTX 2060 Super graphics card.
With the RTX 30-series starting to arrive, with the Nvidia RTX 3080 going on sale tomorrow, we're starting to see companies cutting the price of their current-gen machines. But that doesn't mean you're not getting good hardware, and we're not going to see equivalent mainstream GPUs around the RTX 2060 Super's price point for a little while yet. Potentially not until next year.
The model on sale has an Intel Core i7-10700F processor, which has 8 cores and 16 threads, and was just released this year. It's a quality gaming chip, and a close cousin of the best CPU for gaming right now.
You also get 16GB of DDR4 memory, a 512GB SSD, a 1TB hard drive for extra games storage, and Windows 10 Home pre-installed. The graphics card is an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 Super, which is still a decent option for 1080p and 1440p gaming—see our full review of the card for benchmarks and other information.

This PC is a bit pricier than some 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 can be placed horizontally or vertically, and with the stand, it's just under 4 inches in depth. That makes it a great option for media centers, desks with limited space, or even carrying around in a bag for LAN games.
