The Infinite is available with a MSI GTX 1070, GTX 1080 or GTX 1080TI GPU.

Good thing of pre-built gaming PCs is probably warranty and less time troubleshooting damn thing.
The only reason you buy Intel CPU is to overclock it for gaming.
Ryzen system would be so much better comparing to this
Sounds like you spend too much time troubleshooting. People that buy pre-built "gamer" PC's aren't into overclocking. The reason you buy Intel is because it outperforms AMD at the same price WITHOUT overclocking. Unless your "games" consist of Cinebench and Handbrake, you'll have a much better experience with an Intel based system. Ryzen is fine for the pre-built "gamer" PC market though, where it's all about price you're dealing with a less informed market.

And I thought I was bad with a 1080ti and a 650w PSU

You are right about performance. However there more difference favoring Intel once overclocked.

Well, in the internet age, you could argue that once such a system is "aging", then, (normal) people will look for ways to get more performance out of their systems without spending any/much money. Overclocking is the obvious first thing people will find.

Infinite Price, Limited Frames.

PC not turning on? Send whole thing back to MSI and get replacement.
EDIT : Non-K 7700. Even less possibilities.

Ryzen system would be so much better comparing to this, and probably cheaper.
PSU is bare minimum....
