MSI has introduced a new pre-built desktop, the Infinite E1, in China. It’s an ultra-cheap model, which means it’s hard to recommend for gaming. In these uncertain times, this PC sacrifices the latest hardware in favor of a previous generation, which greatly reduces the price.
This is a realistic alternative to the current problem of rising RAM prices. This increase also impacts GPUs, which are rising, and the price of storage.
Not to mention that, except for the AMD models and the entry-level 50 series models, many of the new NVIDIA cards (especially the high-performance ones) have a very high cost (and this considering the launch).

The system uses the Intel Core i5-13400EF, where the “E” stands for “Embedded”. The specifications are similar to the consumer Core i5-13400F: 10 cores (6P + 4E) and 16 threads, with a boost of up to 4.6 GHz, a TDP of 65 W and 20 MB of L3 cache.
The disadvantage are the lowest base frequenciesthe P cores are 2.4 GHz versus 2.5 GHz, and the E cores are 1.5 GHz versus 1.8 GHz.
In theory, it is possible to run Battlefield 6 with this video card, as the title requires a 2060 as a minimum configuration. However, it is below recommended and that is without commenting on the other hardware specifications.
Graphic processing is the responsibility of a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050, which is not a gaming monster. This GPU is aimed at light gaming and basic settings at 1080p.
Also interesting is that this is the old LGA-1700 platform; MSI opted for older DDR4 memory for this system, which is otherwise new. The system comes with 16GB of DDR4-3200 and a 512GB SSD.
Other components listed include an MSI PRO H610M motherboard, a 500W power supply with 80 PLUS Gold certification, an air cooler with 4 heatpipes, Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2.
Availability and accessibility
Considering the calculations by Videocardz, which translated the article from Chinese, the converted value of the complete PC would be something close to R$4,035.95. However, this is not a system that is expected to reach the global market, but it demonstrates a tendency to sell old hardware as if it were “new”.
And, as clumsy as the strategy may seem, it is an alternative for companies and users to combat recent price increases. Obviously, marketing needs to be properly targeted and, with these configurations, it is difficult to recommend the system for games (especially the most recent ones).
Kabum also has some PCs in the R$4,000 range. And some for less are called “PC Gamers”. In the case of the PC Gamer Ludic, it costs R$4,499.00 and comes with an RTX 3060, which is already a win.
There are other models with the RTX 3060, such as the 2electro, which costs R$4,269.00 and there are options with the 3050, such as the Skill Apex for R$4,021.59. It was also possible to find a Gamer Skill Aquarium PC for R$4,399.99, which comes with a GTX 1660 Ti.
