Today we are checking out the CyberPowerPC Infinity U7 Plus, a gaming prebuilt that comes with Intel’s 270K Plus CPU, an RTX 5070 Ti and 32GB of DDR5. What makes this interesting, though, is that it’s priced at £2099 – the exact same figure as the last CyberPower system we reviewed, but that only came with an RTX 5070… so how has CyberPower done it? We’re going to take a close look at this system and find out…

Pros

• Cheaper than building it yourself.
• Clean chassis with knob-controlled RGB.
• Great for 1440p or 4K gaming.
• RTX 5070 Ti offers peace of mind with its 16GB framebuffer.
• Runs quiet and cool.
• Tidy cable management on front and back.

Cons

• Memory isn't the fastest at DDR5-5600 CL40.

KitGuru says: It's very hard to argue with the spec on offer from the Infinity U7 Plus, and the fact that it's cheaper to buy this than build an equivalent system yourself makes it a bit of a no-brainer.

Building a gaming PC in 2026 has become considerably more expensive than it was only a year or so ago, and graphics cards are not solely responsible this time. The ongoing memory shortage has driven up the cost of all DRAM and NAND flash-based products, such as memory kits, SSDs, and graphics cards. For that reason, we consider approximately $1,000 to be the realistic starting point for a decent new gaming PC in July 2026. Even then, some compromises are unavoidable. Moving up to higher pricing tiers allows progressively stronger CPUs and GPUs, not to mention higher system memory and […]

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.

Back in March, CyberPowerPC entered the console market, offering up PS5s alongside its suite of gaming PCs. Now for a limited time, CyberPowerPC is bundling PS5 consoles with the purchase of select custom-built PCs.

The Ultra iCUE C1 is the entry point in the bundle line-up, priced at £2799. For that price, you get a well-equipped gaming PC with an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU, an RTX 5070 Ti 16GB graphics card, 32GB DDR5 memory, a 1TB NVMe Gen4 SSD, and an ASRock B650M‑CX R2.0 m‑ATX motherboard.

Stepping up to the Ultra iCUE C2, priced at £3199, buyers receive the same Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU, but paired with an RTX 5080 16GB, 32GB DDR5, a 1TB NVMe Gen4 SSD, and a Gigabyte B850 Gaming WiFi6 ATX motherboard. At the top of the range is the Ultra iCUE C3, listed at £4499. This one ships with an RTX 5090 Founders Edition graphics card, so you can get the very best of PC and console gaming with one purchase.

All three systems ship with Windows 11 Home, a Corsair iCUE Link Titan 360mm AIO cooler, next‑day delivery availability, and a free PlayStation 5 console as part of the promotion.

Considering that Sony just revealed that future single-player PlayStation titles will no longer be coming to PC, having a console alongside a PC will make sense for hardcore gamers who still want to experience console exclusives, but primarily play on PC for better graphics and performance.

Choosing a CPU or a GPU used to be the most expensive part of building a PC from scratch or even for an upgrade. With RAMpocalypse that started in Q4 2025, everything changed. Building a PC became so difficult that the RAM and SSD alone now cost over half the combined cost of the rest of the parts, including CPU, GPU, motherboard, PSU, etc. Occasionally, we see some users getting a 10 or 20% discount, or if they get extremely lucky, they receive a free part or two with the bundle deals. Not everyone can wait for such luck, but […]

MSI is expanding its presence in the pre-built PC market with the launch of the MAG Infinite S AI 2nd. This desktop aims to combine AI and gaming in a single box, pairing Intel's Core Ultra 7 265 with Nvidia's GeForce RTX 5070 Ti to deliver enough horsepower for 4K gaming.

The backbone of this machine is the Blackwell-based RTX 5070 Ti, offering plenty of performance in both gaming and generative AI. By using an RTX 50 series GPU, users can benefit from the latest Nvidia features like DLSS 4 and DLSS 4.5, along with enhanced Frame Generation for a performance boost in demanding titles.

To keep this amount of power in check without sounding like a jet engine, MSI has introduced Silent Storm Cooling AI. The system uses a specialised AI layer to monitor component temperatures in real time, adjusting fans accordingly to find the sweet spot for thermal efficiency. There is also the MSI AI Engine, which automatically detects whether you are in a competitive Valorant match, a Zoom meeting, or watching a movie, and adjusts the PC's performance profiles accordingly.

While this is a pre-built PC, it is set up very similarly to a custom gaming rig, so you can easily swap out parts for future upgrades without messing around with any proprietary clips or mounting mechanisms.

MSI has announced a collaboration with the anime Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End, releasing a limited‑edition hardware collection themed around the series. The lineup includes a graphics card, keyboard, mouse, and mouse pad, each designed with colours and motifs inspired by the show

The centrepiece of the collection is the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 16G Frieren Edition OC. Based on MSI's proven Gaming Trio series, the card features the Tri Frozr 4 thermal design with StormForce fans and a nickel-plated copper baseplate. However, this particular model uses heat-reactive thermochromic ink, allowing the backplate to reveal its true colours when the GPU reaches operating temperatures, and revealing an artwork of Frieren with Himmel the Hero.

The Forge GK600 TKL Wireless Frieren Edition keyboard offers a compact tenkeyless form factor that blends performance with acoustics. The keyboard is equipped with linear mechanical switches and a multi-layer sound-dampening system featuring internal gaskets and foam to ensure a satisfying typing feel. Visually, the board is finished in lavender and white, with custom keycaps representing Fern and Stark. It includes a 4000mAh battery for extended wireless use and a dedicated keycap puller, allowing users to further personalise their setup with the themed accents included.

The Versa Wireless Frieren Edition mouse and the Agility GD20 Frieren Edition mouse pad round out the collection. The mouse is an ultra-lightweight 65g peripheral powered by the PixArt PAW3395 optical sensor, delivering a massive 26,000 DPI. It features an illustration of Frieren and Himmel on the primary buttons and uses MSI's exclusive Diamond Lightgrip texture for a secure feel. Complementing the mouse, the Agility GD20 mousepad features a low-friction, silky fabric surface that evokes the legacy of Frieren's old and new party.

KitGuru says: Anime collaborations are becoming increasingly common in the PC hardware space, but MSI’s Frieren lineup stands out for integrating the theme into the design.

A new community-driven utility, NV-UV, promises to offer Nvidia RTX 50-series owners a more streamlined way to manage the power and thermal characteristics of their “Blackwell” hardware.

Developed by cubi2k82, NV-UV (via PCGH and VideoCardz), which is still in closed alpha, is designed to work as a companion app for MSI Afterburner rather than a standalone replacement. It arrives as a direct response to changes in Nvidia's NVAPI, which reportedly no longer allows for the same direct write access to the Voltage-Frequency (VF) curve that enthusiasts enjoyed with previous generations.

The tool aims to make manual undervolting more accessible by automating and providing presets. Initially, it features a one-click interface with four primary profiles: Eco, Balanced, Performance, and Max. These presets allow users to quickly switch between efficiency-focused settings and raw performance targets without manually plotting points in a curve editor.

Perhaps the most innovative feature is the UV-Pilot mode, which reportedly uses a database of over 570 titles to detect supported games and automatically apply matching undervolt profiles. For those who prefer a more hands-on approach, the utility includes an Auto-UV scanner equipped with its own DX12 and DXR (Ray Tracing) stress tests, live telemetry, and a specialised crash recovery system that can automatically downclock the GPU following a driver failure.

As for compatibility, NV-UV currently supports the RTX 5090, RTX 5080, RTX 5070 Ti, and RTX 5070. To use the utility, the developer recommends NVIDIA 590-series drivers or newer, a Windows 11 64-bit environment, and a fully updated copy of MSI Afterburner with voltage control enabled. The tool is distributed as a portable executable, meaning it requires no formal installation or separate .NET framework to run.

Discuss on our Facebook page, HERE.

KitGuru says: As the tool is still in alpha, you should proceed with caution. If you have little experience tinkering with overclocking and voltage curves, you may be better off waiting for a more stable version of the app.
