So I got the go ahead to upgrade my system. I'm a used tech buyer so I won't be getting anything new or current. I've been entertaining the idea of moving away from a laptop but didn't want to get a huge tower. I've been looking and intel NUC gaming machines for awhile as a possibility, but they are all a bit more than I'd like to spend. I did find this rig that's right in the sweet spot of price and power that I'm looking for and wanted to get some feedback from everyone to see what their thoughts are.
Here's the machine specs
MSI Trident 3 8th Gen
CPU: Intel i7-8700
16gb ram DDR4 2400MHz
GeForce® GTX 1070 8GB GDDR5
What I like
It's a small form factor making it easy to move around if needed.
Has lots of processing power (by my standards)
New fanediting screen will be 50"
What I am apprehensive about
It's a tower and will require me to edit in a single space rather than where ever I want.
Only one usb 3 (but I can get a dock for that if needed)
Anyone have any experience with MSI or thoughts on this rig for fanediting and light gaming (Lego games for my kids)
