The Custom MSI Gaming PC is a performance-focused gaming computer built for players who want fast, responsive gameplay and the additional gaming advantage of AMD's 3D V-Cache technology, combined with a powerful MSI GeForce RTX graphics card.

This configuration is particularly well suited to competitive 1080p gaming and high-quality 1440p gaming, where the Ryzen X3D processor can concentrate its large cache on gaming workloads while the RTX 3070 Gaming X Trio provides strong graphical performance. The large MSI chassis, liquid cooling and RGB lighting give the system a proper enthusiast appearance without turning it into an oversized flagship build.

It is an excellent choice for someone who wants a balanced gaming machine rather than paying primarily for workstation features: strong gaming-focused processing, a premium triple-fan graphics card, fast solid-state storage and a clean tempered-glass RGB design.

Purchase this product if:

• You want a gaming-focused PC for competitive 1080p or high-quality 1440p gaming, especially if strong CPU gaming performance and smooth frame delivery are important to you.
• You play demanding games, stream or record gameplay and want the combination of an AMD X3D processor and MSI RTX 3070 Gaming X Trio rather than a basic entry-level configuration.
• You want a gaming setup with a tempered-glass MSI chassis, RGB lighting and liquid cooling that looks like a proper enthusiast build while remaining practical for everyday use.

Avoid purchasing this product if:

• Your main target is demanding native 4K gaming at maximum settings in the newest AAA titles, where a higher-tier current-generation GPU would provide a stronger fit.
• You mainly use your computer for browsing, documents and light office work and would not make meaningful use of the gaming-oriented processor and graphics hardware.
• You need a very large game library immediately; this configuration includes 512GB of NVMe storage, with additional SATA storage expansion available through the motherboard and chassis.

What Is This PC Best For?

AMD positions the Ryzen 5 5500X3D as an enthusiast desktop gaming processor featuring 3D V-Cache, with 96MB of L3 cache specifically differentiating it from conventional Ryzen 5 models.

Complete Build Configuration

AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D

The Ryzen 5 5500X3D is the defining component of this gaming build.

AMD officially specifies:

• 6 CPU cores
• 12 threads
• Zen 3 architecture
• 3.0GHz base frequency
• Up to 4.0GHz boost
• 96MB L3 cache
• 3MB L2 cache
• 105W default TDP
• AMD 3D V-Cache technology
• AM4 socket

The large 96MB L3 cache is what makes this processor particularly interesting for gaming. Rather than simply increasing core count, AMD's X3D design adds significantly more cache close to the CPU cores, a feature AMD explicitly markets toward gaming performance.

For the user, the processor is especially appropriate for:

• Competitive gaming
• CPU-sensitive games
• High-refresh monitors
• 1080p and 1440p gaming
• Gaming while running background applications

MSI GeForce RTX 3070 Gaming X Trio 8GB

Graphics performance comes from the exact MSI GeForce RTX 3070 Gaming X Trio model.

MSI specifies:

• 5,888 CUDA cores
• 8GB GDDR6
• 256-bit memory bus
• 1830MHz boost clock
• 14Gbps memory speed
• PCI Express 4.0
• 240W board power
• Three DisplayPort 1.4a outputs
• One HDMI 2.1 output

This is MSI's factory-tuned Gaming X Trio implementation, rather than a generic RTX 3070 reference card. Its 1830MHz boost clock is higher than the 1770MHz MSI Gaming Trio model.

For gaming, it is particularly well matched to:

• High-setting 1080p
• High-quality 1440p
• High-refresh displays
• Ray-traced games
• DLSS-compatible games
• CUDA-accelerated creative software

Nfortec 240mm AIO Liquid Cooling

The processor is cooled by a Nfortec 240mm all-in-one liquid cooler.

Installed specification:

• Nfortec cooling system
• 240mm radiator format
• All-in-one liquid cooling
• RGB illumination visible in the supplied system

Because the precise Nfortec cooler model was not supplied, no model-specific pump, fan-speed or noise figures are attributed to it.

The 240mm AIO also integrates naturally into the top radiator position of the MSI MAG Forge 100R, which officially supports a 240mm radiator at the top or front.

MSI B450 Gaming Plus

The MSI B450 Gaming Plus provides the ATX foundation for the system.

MSI officially specifies:

• AMD B450 chipset
• AM4 socket
• ATX form factor
• Four DDR4 DIMM slots
• Dual-channel memory
• Up to 128GB on later supported BIOS revisions
• DDR4 speeds including 3200MHz via A-XMP
• One PCIe 3.0 x16 primary slot
• One additional x16-format slot
• Four PCIe x1 slots
• One M.2 slot
• Six SATA 6Gb/s connectors
• Gigabit Ethernet
• Realtek ALC892 7.1-channel audio
• USB 3.1 Gen2

For this system, the board provides a straightforward expansion platform for additional SATA drives, PCIe devices and memory.

16GB KLEVV BOLT DDR4

The system includes:

• 16GB DDR4
• KLEVV BOLT series
• 3200MHz installed speed
• CL15 installed timing

These details follow the supplied configuration.

KLEVV's BOLT family is designed as low-profile DDR4 gaming memory with aluminium heat spreaders and broad motherboard compatibility. KLEVV's currently published BOLT/BOLT X specifications vary by exact generation and part number, so no unrelated BOLT X timing profile is substituted for the installed CL15 configuration.

Kingston OEM 512GB NVMe SSD

Primary storage is provided by a 512GB Kingston OEM NVMe PCIe Gen3 SSD.

Installed specification:

• Kingston
• 512GB capacity
• NVMe SSD
• PCIe Gen3

Tacens Radix V 600W

Power is supplied by the installed Tacens Radix V 600W power supply.

Installed specification:

• Tacens
• Radix V series
• 600W rated output

MSI MAG Forge 100R

The complete build is housed inside the MSI MAG Forge 100R, a mid-tower gaming chassis designed around airflow and visible RGB hardware.

MSI officially provides:

• ATX / Micro-ATX / Mini-ITX support
• Tempered-glass side panel
• Two included 120mm ARGB front fans
• One included 120mm rear system fan
• Up to six system fans
• Up to 240mm radiator support at the front or top
• Up to 330mm graphics-card clearance
• Seven expansion slots
• Addressable RGB control
• Front USB 3.2 Gen1

The supplied photographs show the build using the tempered-glass presentation and RGB cooling configuration effectively, with the RTX 3070 and illuminated internal components clearly visible.

Key Benefits

AMD X3D Gaming Architecture

The Ryzen 5 5500X3D provides 96MB of L3 cache through AMD 3D V-Cache, making gaming the primary focus of this CPU rather than simply adding more conventional processing cores.

Factory-Tuned MSI RTX 3070

The Gaming X Trio runs at an official 1830MHz boost clock and combines 5,888 CUDA cores with 8GB of GDDR6 memory.

Excellent 1080p / 1440p Balance

The CPU and graphics configuration makes the system particularly suitable for users who prioritise high-refresh 1080p gaming or visually demanding 1440p gameplay.

Triple-Fan Graphics Cooling

The large MSI Gaming X Trio graphics card uses a substantial triple-fan format, giving this build a distinctly enthusiast-class GPU implementation rather than a compact entry-level RTX board.

240mm Liquid CPU Cooling

The installed Nfortec AIO provides a full 240mm liquid-cooling configuration, visually complementing the RGB case while providing dedicated processor cooling.

Expandable Storage Platform

The motherboard provides six SATA ports in addition to its M.2 position, allowing additional SSDs or hard drives to be added for larger game libraries.

RGB Tempered-Glass Design

The MAG Forge 100R combines a 4mm tempered-glass panel with included ARGB front cooling and MSI lighting control, making the internal hardware a visible part of the finished setup.
