Key Specs
- Processor Model: Intel 8th Generation Core i5 (Your computer's processor is like its brain. Working in combination with system memory, the power of the processor determines the complexity of software you can run, how many programs you can have open at the same time, and how fast those programs will run. Most computers feature an AMD, Intel or Snapdragon processor.)
- Storage Type: HDD
- Total Storage Capacity: 1000 gigabytes
- System Memory (RAM): 8 gigabytes (Random-access memory (RAM) is a computing device's short-term data storage, which allows active information to be accessed quickly. The size and type of RAM determines how efficiently the device can handle large amounts of information at one time. For example, gaming or video editing requires more RAM for optimal performance.)

Storage
- Storage Type: HDD
- Total Storage Capacity: 1000 gigabytes
- Hard Drive Capacity: 1000 gigabytes (The amount of data that can be stored on the device's mechanical hard drive. Hard disk drives (HDDs) typically have larger capacities than solid state drives (SSDs) but may have slower speeds.)
- Hard Drive Interface: SATA (Connects the hard drive to the host system for transferring data between the hard disk cache and system memory. IDE and SATA interfaces are primarily used for personal computing, while larger servers and workstations typically use SAS or SCSI.)
- Hard Drive RPM: 7200 revolutions per minute (A hard drive's data is stored on disks, or platters, that spin while transferring information to the host system. The higher the RPM, the faster the hard drive's performance.)
- Hard Drive Accelerator: None (A module integrated (or added) into a PC to improve performance speed. By acting as a high-speed cache, an accelerator speeds up access times to the hard drive, which results in faster web browsing, improved gaming experience, and overall more responsiveness.)
Memory
- System Memory (RAM): 8 gigabytes (Random-access memory (RAM) is a computing device's short-term data storage, which allows active information to be accessed quickly. The size and type of RAM determines how efficiently the device can handle large amounts of information at one time. For example, gaming or video editing requires more RAM for optimal performance.)
- Type of Memory (RAM): DDR4 SDRAM (Each type of RAM delivers a different level of speed, bandwidth, energy efficiency and performance.)
- System Memory RAM Speed: 2133 megahertz (How fast the information-storing hardware operates. The faster the RAM, the faster memory can be transferred to other system components. Ultimately, faster RAM improves operational efficiency.)
- System Memory RAM Expandable To: 32 gigabytes (Adding more random-access memory (RAM) to a computer speeds up performance and improves efficiency. Upgrades to memory are limited by the number of expansion slots for additional RAM and existing RAM installed on the device.)
Compatibility
- Operating System: Windows 10 Home (The operating system manages all software and hardware, including files, memory and connected devices. Most importantly, it lets you interact with your device and your programs in a visual way; otherwise, you'd be typing computer code to get anything done.)
Connectivity
- Number Of DVI Ports: 1
- Ethernet Card: 10/100/1000 (Also known as an Ethernet adapter, this card plugs into a computer's motherboard and enables it to access an Ethernet network. Ethernet data transmission speeds are measured in Mbps (megabits per second) and Gbps (gigabits per second). For example, a 10/100 Ethernet port transmits 10 and 100 Mbps, while a 10/100/1000 Ethernet port transmits 10 and 100 Mbps and has a maximum speed of 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps).)

Great small form factor desktop
The MSI Trident 3 8RC is a great small-form-factor desktop. It is fast enough to do regular computing tasks and perform well for gaming. If you need serious speed or graphics power consider an I7 or I9 processor with a faster disk and perhaps a 1070 graphics card. If you want to save lots of money and still have a great computing experience, this could be the desktop for you. It is small enough to fit nearly anywhere and virtually silent when it is running. I use a USB Blu-Ray disk drive with dual displays. Full screen video is smooth without pixelation. About the only negative I could find was difficulty in identifying USB3 ports from USB2. I remember all the ports were black and I could not locate documentation to identify them. The computer came with an earlier version of Windows 10 so you will have to go through lots of updates to get to the current 1903 version. Unlike some other brands, MSI is good about not burdening the computer down with pervasive bloatware.

Horrible
I ordered this pc as open box excellent condition ( or so it said) with two year Warranty for a total of 1040$ and had it shipped to my house and then when it came I picked up and went home and everything was fine but when I plugged it into my monitor and there was red lines all over the screen so I already knew something was wrong and then when I got further and went to sign in and there was already a user signed into windows so i couldnt even sign into the pc i just bought for 1040$ and waited 4 days for So I had to take it to my local bestbuy to replace it and the only had two options a pc with base price of 1350 and another similar one with a base price of 1700 so I had to return this pc i bought and trade it in for the 1350$ one because it was the lower out of the two options so in the end i had to pay 1682$ for the pc with the same warranty and tax . Overall horrible experience and am very dissapointed.

Good computer for its price and size
I’m in a barracks room currently and am goin to move soon, so the compact size is a major bonus. It runs the games I play on high with good performance, games like apex legends. All around great for the price.
