Intel NUC 11 Extreme i7-11700B Arc B580 12G 16GB DDR4 512GB NVMe 650W gaming PC

Compact 8 litre gaming desktop

This Intel NUC 11 Extreme system fits a full desktop processor and discrete graphics card into an 8 litre ITX chassis measuring 357 x 189 x 120 mm. The Core i7-11700B delivers 8 cores and 16 threads with a maximum turbo frequency of 4.80 GHz. A GUNNIR Arc B580 Index card with 12 GB of video memory handles modern titles at high settings. Windows 11 Home is pre-installed and ready to use.

Suits small-space gamers and content creators

The compact footprint and 650 W 80 Plus Gold power supply make this PC practical for living-room setups or limited desk space. Buyers who need multiple graphics cards, extensive internal drive bays or custom liquid-cooling loops should look at larger tower platforms. The integrated Wi-Fi 6E AX210 and Bluetooth provide wireless connectivity without extra adapters.

12 GB Arc B580 graphics decides 1440p viability

The single most important specification is the 12 GB video memory on the Arc B580 Index GPU. That capacity determines whether the system can hold high-resolution textures at 1440p or 4K without falling back to system RAM. If your workflow or game library demands more VRAM, this configuration will not meet the requirement.
