Not every gaming PC needs to be coated with RGB lighting and scream ‘gamer' from the chassis to the trim. If you're looking to place a PC within a more aesthetically refined room, perhaps a living room or an office shared with other family members, then there are options out there which can match the aesthetics of a contemporary living space with nice stylish furniture, not just a gaming dungeon with spaceship vibes. Indeed, the design on some PC cases can verge on the artistic in their own right, meaning you can put them in pride of place, rather than just hiding them away under a desk.

CyberPowerPC offers several such designs, with the slick PC cases enclosing the latest NVIDIA 50-series graphics cards with their myriad performance-enhancing features, plus powerful processors to match. All the picks we've listed below use Mini-ITX motherboards, with some of them being true SFF (Small Form Factor) PCs. Others are in slightly bigger tower cases, but they still take up a lot less desk space than your typical full-size case.

The most unique prebuilts from CyberPowerPC

The Infinity 147 NC Next Day PC

Of all the picks here, the Infinity 147 NC Next Day PC is maybe the most unique. Although not exactly small given its 481mm height, the Cooler Master NCORE 100 MAX Compact ITX Gaming Case it's built around is a lot narrower than your average tower, so has a fairly small desk footprint. The unsuspecting non-gamer might not even realise this is a PC.

However, they would be very wrong. The Infinity 147 comes with one powerful pairing: an Intel Core i7-14700KF processor and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 graphics card, with all the benefits that come with the NVIDIA 50-series. The RTX 5070 in this system will unlock amazing performance across all the latest titles, with technology such as DLSS 4 and Multi-Frame Gen pushing your performance to the max while keeping exceptional image quality.

The Ion Pro SFF Mini Gaming PC

If you're looking for something with a bit of class, the Ion Pro SFF Mini Gaming PC is an obvious choice. The build uses the Fractal Design Terra ITX case, with ours coming in the Jade finish, although it's also available in graphite (black) or silver (white) colours so you can better match it to your decor. It has a really elegant look, making it stand out as a staple piece of decor in the room, while simultaneously matching the vibe of a modern home.

Once again, don't be fooled by its elegance. The Ion Pro is rocking some serious power inside of its fashionable chassis. You can select a range of Intel CPUs, going all the way up to the i9-14900 if you're wanting the best of the best. While ours came with an RTX 5070, there is also the option to upgrade to a 5070 Ti or a lower spec card for a more modest build.

The good news is that even with the more affordable options, you still get access to features only available on NVIDIA hardware, including Reflex, which is only ever a benefit in any game, providing a much smoother and more responsive experience. This is particularly helpful in competitive titles, where quick reactions and a few milliseconds of delay can be the difference between your next clutch or most embarrassing moment. If you're on a budget but can stretch to the 5070, you'll get the benefits of the new version of Reflex once it releases, along with the aforementioned DLSS 4 and Multi Frame Generation.

Ion Elite SFF Mini Gaming PC

The Ion Elite SFF Mini Gaming PC is typically built around a different Fractal Design case – the Ridge ITX – which is available in black or white, though you can also opt for the same Terra ITX case as the Pro uses, should you like. A narrower, vertical standing design, the build nevertheless supports much the same GPU, RAM, and storage upgrade and expansion options as the Ion Pro above, though the CPU choices are all AMD Ryzen models, rather than Intel.

Despite its compact size, the Ion Elite SFF can also house a range of 50-series GPUs, from the 5060 Ti up to the 5070 Ti. While these cards all benefit from the previously highlighted features, particularly great for gaming, it's true that NVIDIA also has a great offering for creatives. Some of the most popular creative apps like Premiere Pro, Photoshop, and DaVinci Resolve benefit from RTX-accelerated effects, which makes editing a faster and smoother process. Meanwhile, the 9th generation NVENC encoder on the new Blackwell architecture improves quality for AV1 and HEVC, and adds support for 4:2:2 H.264 and HEVC encoding, widening access to a range of popular formats for video editors.

Sigil Elite SFF Mini Gaming PC

Finally, we have the Sigil Elite SFF Mini Gaming PC. This PC is available in light grey and black finishes with the standard Fractal Design Mood ITX case, which takes the form of a compact vertical rectangle encased in mesh fabric. Once again, the relatively small footprint of the case ensures that the PC occupies minimal space, whether placed on a desk or within a media center. To the average Joe, it's likely any PC housed within this case could pass as an unknown bit of furniture, but that doesn't stop this nsuspecting system from packing a punch.

The tower-like case can come with one of the best CPUs on the market right now, that being the Ryzen 7 9800X3D. Pair this with a range of powerful RTX cards, including some previous generation options, and you're looking at a PC that can handle basically anything thrown at it. Though, RTX 5070 that comes with it as standard is a great choice, and with some fantastic titles on the way, including DOOM: The Dark Ages, which requires hardware ray-tracing capabilities as a minimum, now is a great time to consider an upgrade.

Why opt for a 50-series card in your compact build?

Besides the raw power the hardware provides in terms of clock speeds, the latest NVIDIA 50-series graphics cards have the benefit of full support for the latest in DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation, excellent ray-tracing performance, and latency-minimising Reflex technology, with the new version set to release on 50-series cards in the future.

It's not just gamers who benefit. If you’re a content creator, designer, or video editor, 50-series cards can seriously upgrade your workflow. Built on the latest Blackwell architecture, these cards are designed to accelerate performance in popular creative apps
like Adobe Photoshop, Premiere Pro, After Effects, Blender, and DaVinci Resolve.

Lengthy tasks that are typically time-consuming like 3D rendering, exporting high-res videos, and timeline scrubbing are much faster and smoother with 50-series cards.

…and much more
