MSI has introduced the MAG Infinite Z, a compact gaming desktop packing up to an AMD Ryzen 7 9700X processor and up to an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti graphics card, all built inside of a 25L chassis. 

According to the hardware manufacturer, the MAG Infinite Z is designed for gaming and daily multitasking without requiring the oversized footprint of a traditional tower. The 25L chassis features a transparent side panel and supports Mystic Light RGB configurations, allowing users to personalise their aesthetic.

Internal components scale up to an AMD Ryzen 7 9700X CPU alongside up to an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti GPU. To maintain stable performance and lower noise levels during heavy workloads, MSI integrates its Silent Storm Cooling AI system, which monitors temperatures and automatically adjusts the fan curve.

Storage expansion options include two M.2 SSD slots and 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch drive bays. System maintenance and future hardware upgrades are easy, as the case uses thumbscrews for quick interior access. MSI also includes its EZ M.2 CLIP and EZ PCIe Clip II mechanisms to simplify component swaps.

KitGuru says: Packing a Ryzen 7 9700X and an RTX 5070 Ti into a 25L case makes the MAG Infinite Z an appealing option for players looking for a compact but capable system.

MSI has announced the MEG Vision X2 AI⁺, the latest addition to its flagship MSI MEG prebuilt desktop lineup. The system pairs high-performance gaming hardware with an impressive front-panel display and a local AI assistant. 

What makes this desktop unique is the AI Holostage, a cylindrical display built into the chassis. According to MSI, this interface is designed to materialise digital companions, desktop pets, and custom third-party AI avatars. You can get an idea of what it should look like from the MSI dragon mascot in the image below:

The system comes loaded with LuckyClaw, MSI's own ‘agentic AI'. The software responds to natural speech commands to enable hands-free management of performance profiles, compatible MSI monitor configurations, and RGB lighting effects.

As for the specs, these systems will be equipped with Intel Core Ultra (Arrow Lake) processors, DDR5 memory, PCIe 5.0 storage, and up to an RTX 5090 graphics card. Other features include Wi-Fi 7 support, MSI AI Engine, and Silent Storm Cooling AI, which uses AI to adjust fan speeds.

KitGuru says: Do you think this AI Holostage will be enough to convince buyers to get this system over its competitors?

The PCSpecialist Nebula Master K enters our test lab with an appealing spec sheet, pairing an Intel Core Ultra 5 250K Plus with an AMD RX 9060 XT inside a clean mid-tower chassis, all for £1749. For many, paying a premium to avoid the hassle of building a PC is a worthwhile investment. On paper, this system offers a balanced, high-quality 1440p gaming experience with pristine cable management. But does the real-world software experience and the “assembly tax” justify the cost over simply building it yourself?

Closing Thoughts

PCSpecialist has delivered a physically impressive machine with the Nebula Master K. The assembly quality is phenomenal, boasting near-perfect cable management on both the front and back of the chassis. The hardware choices are balanced, the 360mm AIO and case fans keep things incredibly quiet (with the GPU hovering around 52°C under load), and essential BIOS settings like memory speeds were correctly enabled out of the box.

Recreating this exact build on PCPartPicker costs around £1,540 (excluding a Windows license), meaning you are paying roughly a £200 premium for the build service, shipping and warranty. For this level of care in the assembly it's definitely an interesting proposition to some.

However, the out-of-the-box software experience does hold the machine back. Pre-installed bloatware—most notably a 90-day trial of Norton 360, along with Asus Armoury Crate and Corsair iCUE—causes the system to feel sluggish and actively steals performance. Simply uninstalling these programs yielded a massive 17% boost to 1% low framerates in Returnal, a 5.5% boost to 1% lows in CS2, and a 5-7% uplift in Cinebench scores. While PCSpecialist does a fantastic job building the PC, the bloatware is a massive letdown. Stay tuned for an upcoming guide where we use this exact same system but install Linux for gaming if you want to avoid this sort of thing!

Pros:

• Immaculate assembly and effective cable management.
• Quiet operation with excellent thermal headroom.
• Correct BIOS settings applied out of the box (RAM speeds).
• Well-balanced components for 1440p gaming.

Cons:

• Pre-installed bloatware (Norton 360 for Gamers) actively harms system performance.
• Lack of reusable cable ties makes future upgrades slightly tedious.

KitGuru says: PCSpecialist has done a great job building the Nebula Master K is no exception, but stay tuned for our upcoming Linux gaming guide if you want to move away from Windows.
