*These FPS figures were measured in-house using real gameplay and/or dedicated benchmarking tools where available. Because game updates, driver updates, and other variables can affect performance over time, these figures aren't a guarantee of the performance you'll achieve — treat them as a ballpark indication rather than an exact result.

About This PC

The Infinity Drake system features a design that wraps around the tempered glass panels: a mighty ice dragon guards the right-hand side of the front panel, while frozen icicles and snow creep around the edges of the edges of the panels, turning the case into an icy dragon's lair. This version goes further with a 3D printed dragon's head mounted on top of the liquid cooling pump, its red eyes glowing like a trophy hung on the wall.

Under the artwork sits a serious 1440p gaming machine. The Radeon RX 9060 XT with 16GB of GDDR6 memory pairs with an 8-core Ryzen 7 5700X to handle big open-world titles like Cyberpunk 2077 and Battlefield 6 at high settings, while competitive shooters such as Counter-Strike 2, Valorant and Apex Legends run at the kind of frame rates high refresh rate monitors were made for. A 360mm premium AIO liquid cooler keeps noise and temperatures in check, and 32GB of DDR4 means streaming, Discord and a wall of browser tabs can sit alongside the game.

Every system is assembled and tested by Playtech technicians, with the panels UV printed in-house at Playtech HQ, and it comes with Playtech's 3-year warranty. Before adding it to your cart, you can choose 64GB of memory instead of 32GB, and step up to a 2TB SSD from the standard 1TB, using the Memory and Storage options on this page.

Frequently Asked Questions

What games can this PC run, and at what resolution?

You can expect excellent 1080p and 1440p gaming, with 4K very much on the table in lighter titles. Across 29 tested games at high settings, 27 cleared 60 fps at both 1080p and 1440p, and 18 still did so at 4K. Competitive shooters fly: Counter-Strike 2 runs around 430 fps at 1080p and still near 350 fps at 1440p, with Apex Legends over 200 fps at 1440p. Demanding titles hold up well too, with Cyberpunk 2077 around 130 fps at 1080p and 80 fps at 1440p, and Battlefield 6 above 80 fps at 1440p.

Can I buy a PC without a graphics card? 

Yes. If you already have a graphics card you'd like to use, let us know and we'll quote you a custom system without one. If you're near our Rosedale, Auckland workshop, you can drop your card in and we'll install it for you. Otherwise, tell us which power connectors your GPU uses and we'll route and expose the right cables so it's easy to install when your PC arrives.

When will my PC arrive? 

Most PCs take a couple of days to assemble, and the build time for each system is shown on its product page. Once your PC is built and tested, it ships with your chosen delivery option. Delivery usually takes 1–2 days in the North Island and 2–4 days in the South Island. Rural deliveries can take longer because they depend on the local courier's schedule.

Can I customise this PC? 

Yes. Every Playtech PC is built on a modular platform, so it can be upgraded, customised or modified to suit your needs. We're happy to adjust any of our systems, whether that's more storage, a different CPU cooler or a full component swap. Some changes may add to the cost, so get in touch with our team and we'll talk through what you're after and put together a quote.

What Do 1080p, 1440p, and 4K Mean?

When shopping for a gaming PC or monitor, you’ll often see terms like 1080p, 1440p, and 4K. These refer to the resolution of the display, which determines how many pixels are used to create the image on your screen.

Higher resolutions mean more pixels and sharper image detail.


  • 1080p (Full HD) – 1920 × 1080 pixels. This is the most common resolution for gaming and offers excellent performance on entry-level and mid-range systems.

  • 1440p (Quad HD) – 2560 × 1440 pixels. This resolution provides noticeably sharper visuals than 1080p and has become a popular choice for modern gaming monitors.

  • 4K (Ultra HD) – 3840 × 2160 pixels. 4K delivers extremely sharp image quality but requires a very powerful graphics card to run modern games smoothly.

Higher resolutions create more detailed visuals but also require more graphics performance from your GPU. That’s why many gamers choose their graphics card based on the resolution they plan to play at.

What Does Frame Rate (FPS) Mean?

Frame rate, often measured in FPS (frames per second), describes how many images your computer renders every second while playing a game.

The higher the FPS, the smoother and more responsive the game feels.

For example:

  • 30 FPS – Playable, but may feel less smooth
  • 60 FPS – Smooth gameplay and the traditional PC gaming standard
  • 120+ FPS – Very smooth gameplay ideal for competitive gaming
  • 240+ FPS – Ultra-smooth performance for esports players

Fast-paced games such as Valorant, Counter-Strike 2, and Fortnite benefit greatly from higher frame rates because they make movement and aiming feel more responsive.

A powerful CPU and graphics card help your PC generate higher frame rates for smoother gameplay.

What Is Monitor Refresh Rate (Hz)?

A monitor’s refresh rate, measured in Hertz (Hz), tells you how many times per second the screen can update the image.

For example:

  • 60Hz monitor → updates the image 60 times per second
  • 144Hz monitor → updates 144 times per second
  • 240Hz monitor → updates 240 times per second

Higher refresh rates allow you to see more frames from your gaming PC, which results in smoother motion and clearer movement during gameplay.

For instance, if your PC produces 144 FPS in a game but your monitor is only 60Hz, you will only see 60 of those frames each second. To fully experience higher frame rates, you need a monitor with a matching refresh rate.

High-refresh monitors are especially popular with competitive gamers playing titles like Apex Legends or Call of Duty: Warzone, where smoother motion can improve reaction time and accuracy.
