The MSI Trident 3 9SI-616US is a small-form-factor gaming desktop: a 9.9-inch-tall, 3.8-inch-slim black console-style case with an Intel Core i5-9400F, a GeForce GTX 1660 Super with 6 GB, 256 GB SSD plus 1 TB hard drive, and Windows 10 Home. Its main draw is the footprint: it fits beside a TV or on a small desk where a tower will not, and it runs 1080p games at high settings. Against compact rivals it trades upgrade room and raw power for size, and the 2021-era parts are a step behind current budget builds. Buyers who want a living-room PC or a first gaming machine get the most from it; anyone chasing high frame rates or easy future upgrades should look at a larger tower.

Owners of the Trident 3 line generally like the tiny footprint and the 1080p gaming performance for the size, and many call it a good first gaming PC. Complaints center on fan noise under load, warm running in the cramped case, and limited upgrade options.
