@@TheNetGuy I want to buy my grandson a pc. He likes games and videos. I saw this one on Ebay. Can you please tell me if this will work for him? The cost is $119.99 (Dell Optiplex 9020 SFF PC w/ Intel Core i5-4570 3.20GHz 4GB DDR3 RAM 250GB HDD)
We have these machines all over our campus. A lot of federal and state government offices use this model, and many of them are being auctioned off. Very reliable, easy to upgrade. I have a SFF (Small Form Factor) version of the 9020 as a Plex Server at home. The SFF case is somewhat limited for drive expansion compared to the minitower model you have in your video. SSD drives are the single best upgrade to any computer.
Hi John. I have lived with "Your Fab Build of my Dell Optiplex 9020" for years now, (4th March 2019). And as the "Microsoft Blackmail" issue is getting more previlent, I'm a wee bit worried as I find now I'm forced to go the upgrade route, to Windows 11 from your build, Arghhhhh. Yes I'm a wee bit scared, as I have never ever done a whole build on my own, so you can class me as a 1rst time buider, gulp! So now I come to you again Paul for your "FANTASTIC" and skillful guidance & advice, to last me for the next 1000 years please, Grovel, Grovel ;) So now taking, (some), parts from my old Dell + newer stuff from Ebay, I have collected a good set of parts, (I Think), ready for the "Upgrade Option" to windows11. So now need a "NEW Motherboard and CPU." I have: GIGABYTE GTX 1060 6GB, AEROCOOL mATX CS-107 Case, PSU 600W, 2x8GB DDR4 32000MHz sticks, 500GB SSD, Dell 1920x1080 Monitor. I HAVE STILL TO SPEND: £190.00 MAX (Still my funds will always be limited, due to my lifelong disabilities, ha nothing changes here).
I would like to go the Ryzen path, unless you advise otherwise so I would be looking at a "New Motherboard and CPU" (Idealy the Ryzen 5 5600 ), unless you can advise much better please. Yours desperately my friend, and a Happy Christmas to you and the family ;)
A 9020 with the i7 4790 was my first build and I bought it with no ram and no hard drive for $50. Best purchase to this date. I sold it for $200 down the line with 16gb of ram, 250gb SSD, and a 960 GPU. I got to play with it until I was ready to upgrade.
So I bought a $50 Lenovo core 2 duo, plopped in a 60 GB SSD I got cheap, around the same price as yours, and a 750ti I got for around $60 I had to get a PCI riser cable to fit it as it is a SFF, but for under $250 I was able to run fortnite at 1080p 60 FPS with medium high settings, the 750ti is the bottleneck from pushing further. I was impressed on how the Q6600 still held up to day to day tasks and non-AAA title gaming. I have too much fun refurbishing and giving new life to some of these PC’s. Having a 4 series i5 or i7 for under $200 is a good deal, plus there is some wiggle room to make other upgrades like a dGPU if needed later (as long as the PSU can handle it). I don’t really have a use for the box since it was more of a personal challenge, but it was fun to build.
Oh man I loved the Q6600 - such a workhorse/beast when it came out. I don’t even think they did thermal throttling back then. I’ve got some captures of the 9020 running some games on the base gpu, an R7 250 low profile, and I’m hunting CL for a cheap GeForce 1030 or similar to do a comparison with in a budget gaming follow-up.
They come with 280 watt power supply. Awesome on saving power but if you need to add video card you will need power supply and adapter cable for Dell motherboard to run high end video. Awesome PC though, get the I7 4790 32g 1tb
this is exactly what I needed I'm getting a dell optiplex 9020 for Christmas and a copy of Minecraft and I needed to know if it could run it at a normal speed
A word of caution on the 9020 SFF (I have one with the i7-4790): The x16 PCIe slot is on the left side (looking front to back) very close to the PSU, so you are limited on GPU options (not just due to the Low-Profile requirement, but because most decent LP GPUs such as the GTX 1650, are dual-slot solutions). The right-side slot is slotted to support a x16 PCIe card but it is wired for x4 channels.
@@TheNetGuy for sure... I love the looks and the form factor...a lot...but this machine has some strict duties and can't sway far away from them, unfortunately... Great little CPU and robust chassis, crippled by poor design decisions. :( Thanks for your video!
I have a 990 DT and I like it! I7 2600 and 16 gigs total ram (4 slots). I put in the 2 gig GTX 960 that I had and a 111 gig ssd with 1.8 tb hdd for files and games. I just need better than a 305 watt power supply. 😬
Hi do you recommend buying the cheapest possible model (with i3 processor and little ram) and then doing the upgrades to i7 and installing rams urself if u want to max out the specs? You can get a 9012, i7-4790, 16gb RAM, 500gb HDD on ebay for $433
Hey Lee - good question. I honestly would push you towards the HP 800 G2 for a faster, newer spec model that is upgradable and can case swap easily. I need to put a video out about it. If you can find an i5, or better an i7 Dell 9020 on OfferUp or Craigslist locally you’ll usually save more. I’ve upgraded both the Dell and Hp, and it often costs more and then you have an i3 chip with nothing to do :/ Thanks for watching!
I see you've been recommending the HP 800 G2 series, but for strictly gaming, would you suggest the I7 or the I5 cpu's? How much of a performance gain is it to go with the I7 instead of the I5?
@@TheNetGuy most of the 800 G2 are slim form factors, can I swap out the motherboard into my ATX case or is it proprietary to HP cases only? Do I need the power adapters too (8 pin to 24 pin)?
Yes and yes. I’ll be doing videos on it soon. The SFF is a bargain, and with four nuts you can reuse the stock cooler, or better add a bigger tower cooler
Howdy there John, Thank you for all your advice which lead me to getting the "Dell OptiPlex 9020 MT i5 4th Gen 16GB" (Arghhhh just payed out for max ram, now DDR3 32GB), being on benifits due to my disabilty, I struggled, But I got there.

This is the larger o e is you search it up it will come up with another one that is smaller witch one is better? Could you send me a link to the better one please
Hi idk if you still reply but I was getting rid of my ps4 since it’s the original it’s pretty old, I wanted a budget pc as first I wanna see if it’s worth getting a pc, so say if I get this will I need to buy any upgrades to play modern games? Or can I just play with the pc itself?
@@TheNetGuy thanks man I appreciate it I’m just trying to get something on a budget which isn’t expensive and that’s already built as I’m not good with pc parts haha.

Howdy there John, Please can you give me your advice "from my earlier request", as I am hanging here patiantly. After all I have put all my limited , ( and knowledge gained from you), disability benifits struggling towards this build of yours to get the Dell 9020 as you did advised me to, which works so well, thank you.

Thanking you in advance Marc.
I have an i3 7th gen Acer laptop, from the time I hit the power button, to the time the desktop & system tray is loaded AND connected to Wi-Fi is 12 seconds. That's right. 12 seconds.
I have made a plan its kinda 500$ to make my set up but I have a lot of things already but I'm finding a computer to play some decent games and upgrade it too.
Love it - keep an eye out though, I have a sub $400 computer option with a brand new GTX1650 that pulls over 100 fps in many titles, including newer ones!
Howdy there ;) I am wanting to buy the Dell OptiPlex 9020 MT, off eBay but I worry as I have heard so many horror stories about being ripped off, so any advice please. I have the Dell OptiPlex 790 MT (Yuck), so you can imagine the stress I'm under, especially with three youngish daughters begging & hounding me to upgrade, I'm sure it's not for there homework ;( Well I have watched so many RUclips Videos, but "Yours" is the one that has now tempted me to the drastic steps of, (Following you), this path of upgrade using this case, (If possible). Ha they have no clue, my three witches of Eastwick ha ha ha. I feel I should also get the PDF If possible for the Motherboard PC5F7 to take this drastic step, but I cant find it can you help as to where I'm to get this also please. Yours in great hopeful help, thank you.
Hey Marc - thanks for the kind words. I have three daughters and two boys, so I know the stress. Luckily on two of them are really gamers right now. Offhand I’d have to look at the 790 MT, but you may be in good shape. On the other hand, if you can find a HP 800 G2, it’s one of my favorite sleeper machines. And I7-6700 CPU which will last you a lot longer and the case swap couldn’t be easier.
tysm for this video its very informative, but im planning to buy the dell that has i5 intel processor and 8gb ram with the intel hd graphics card and its the (sff) version, is it possible to upgrade the parts with the sff version most importantly the gpu? and can i record with all this specs? tysm
It does meet the minimum requirements. You may want to add a graphics card (GPU) if you can find one. I have some follow up videos to this one where I do that upgrade. 👍 good luck. What’s the link to your channel? Happy to give you another sub!
@@TheNetGuy Edit: Hey just to let you know i swap my old i7 4790 cpu and upgraded to i7 4790k. When I installed and turn on my desktop I got an error. It says "CPU replacement was detected. some system feature will not be disabled. Press Y to continue (system will go through reset to complete CPU change) otherwise shut down platform and replace original CPU." When i about the press Y and the computer just shut down by itself and I didn't even press the Y button yet. My reaction was like what the hell? It was strange but I managed to turn off and back on my computer and worked. When the Windows was back on the the Device specifications was confused and does not recognize my i7 4790k. I went into my GeForce Experience application and it recognize as a 4790k. My computer was confused but the only way to fix this problem is to reset the bios or restart the computer. So I restarted my computer and finally the dell optiplex recognize as a 4790k. I bought a new GPU Zotac Gtx 1660 super on black friday. My Dell Optiplex 9020 got improved and it was no longer a low tier pc gaming. It went into a mid high tier gaming pc thanks to i7 4790k CPU and GTX 1660 super gpu upgrades. My dell optiplex 9020 in a little bit more faster now 😁😁😁
Hey CrazyCrafter - haven’t stopped just yet :) Lots of family and life commitments have worked against me. An exciting new set of videos coming up though.
I’m doing some benchmarking of the 9020 and some gaming video cards. Any suggestions for titles I should test with? AAA titles, free to play (Fortnite), or retros (Borderlands, Bioshock, GTA V)?
@@TheNetGuy All things are possible when you're buying used from the Gumment I call it the "Deficit Spending Discount" Matter of fact, I might buy 20 of em I just bought 2 5-year-old ricoh copiers from the DMV for 10 bucks each, still in fine working condition. People's jaws would hit the floor if they knew how much perfectly functional product the government effectively throws away every year just to justify their budgets. Matter of fact, I bought 20 HYBRID police bicycles a few months ago for 100 bucks. I picked one out for myself... thought about selling the rest... but instead decided to line them up on the sidewalk and let anyone who wants one take one. They couldn't believe it. Anyone who took one, I'd say, "Just remember. Your tax dollars paid for this bike to be replaced. The reason you now have this bike is because it was deemed unworthy of being sat upon by police officers." I suppose I shouldn't be biting the hand that feeds me like that... but that's probably why I gravitate toward side-hustles anyway. I'm not good at keeping my mouth shut in the presence of bullshit. LOL!
If our government wasn’t good at waste and abuse, they’d be no good at all! Great finds and they make good Windows 10 PCs still. Doing a live stream case swap of one into a pretty RGB case on Wednesday on the channel if you want to tune in. 👍
Of course, that assumes you upgrade the power supply in my other video. And maybe do a case swap for the longer card. I’d say get a gtx1650 and enjoy! It will run great based on my graphics card benchmark videos.
The Net Guy I have no problem upgrading the power supply, is there any card between a 2080 and 1060 you would recommend? Or should I grab 1060 6 gig and call it a day?
If you have the small form factor then yes, you can only use single low profile cards without large heat sinks. If it’s the MT, then all the steps in this video are all you need: “Dell 9020 - $100 Gaming Upgrade”
@@TheNetGuy 7020 should be cheaper and its literally the same machine. Be aware that older big graphics cards like a 6970 only fit if you bend one of the plugs on the board. New ones wont fit. Also you will need a biger PSU.
Yeah you found my very first video from over two and a half years ago. One of my next videos was a PSU upgrade. Then benchmarked 6 video cards. Then did a new for 2021 swap video you might like. ruclips.net/video/31LM6RybHmU/видео.html - welcome!
@@TheNetGuy YT algorithm brought us together. The 7020 and the 9020 are still good machines. Bought my son one 2 years ago, packed a GTX 650 or something in it and he still playing Apex on it today and that for under 200 €. Unbelievable how long hardware holds up nowadays if I remember back to my 386 days ^^. It’s good that you do this cheap hardware/ budgets build videos. A good gaming experience is also possible with old hardware.Keep up the good work. I forgot I packed also a BeQuiet PSU in it, so maybe 250€.

I have made a plan its kinda 500$ to make my set up but I have a lot of things already but I'm finding a computer to play some decent games and upgrade it too.
Love it - keep an eye out though, I have a sub $400 computer option with a brand new GTX1650 that pulls over 100 fps in many titles, including newer ones!
optiplex 9020 vs elitedesk800g1???
G2 actually, all the way. Fantastic value there and super easy to port to a new case.
Could I play the sims 4 with some mods and even at least a couple packs???? Somebody please answer
Yep
Howdy there ;)
I am wanting to buy the Dell OptiPlex 9020 MT, off eBay but I worry as I have heard so many horror stories about being ripped off, so any advice please.
I have the Dell OptiPlex 790 MT (Yuck), so you can imagine the stress I'm under, especially with three youngish daughters begging & hounding me to upgrade, I'm sure it's not for there homework ;(
Well I have watched so many RUclips Videos, but "Yours" is the one that has now tempted me to the drastic steps of, (Following you), this path of upgrade using this case, (If possible).
Ha they have no clue, my three witches of Eastwick ha ha ha.
I feel I should also get the PDF If possible for the Motherboard PC5F7 to take this drastic step, but I cant find it can you help as to where I'm to get this also please.
Yours in great hopeful help, thank you.
Hey Marc - thanks for the kind words. I have three daughters and two boys, so I know the stress. Luckily on two of them are really gamers right now. Offhand I’d have to look at the 790 MT, but you may be in good shape. On the other hand, if you can find a HP 800 G2, it’s one of my favorite sleeper machines. And I7-6700 CPU which will last you a lot longer and the case swap couldn’t be easier.
tysm for this video its very informative, but im planning to buy the dell that has i5 intel processor and 8gb ram with the intel hd graphics card and its the (sff) version, is it possible to upgrade the parts with the sff version most importantly the gpu? and can i record with all this specs? tysm
You can put a gtx1050ti low profile in the 9020 sff
So basically it’s a gaming pc after u do that u can play Fortnite
hey man im a small minecraft youtuber. im looking to get something like this for my birthday. would it be able to run the game in the bedrock edition?
It does meet the minimum requirements. You may want to add a graphics card (GPU) if you can find one. I have some follow up videos to this one where I do that upgrade. 👍 good luck. What’s the link to your channel? Happy to give you another sub!
I have a question. can you upgrade the dell optiplex 9020 CPU processor i7-4790 to i7-4790K?
Yes both work great!!!
@@TheNetGuy Edit: Hey just to let you know i swap my old i7 4790 cpu and upgraded to i7 4790k. When I installed and turn on my desktop I got an error.
It says
"CPU replacement was detected. some system feature will not be disabled. Press Y to continue (system will go through reset to complete CPU change) otherwise shut down platform and replace original CPU."
When i about the press Y and the computer just shut down by itself and I didn't even press the Y button yet. My reaction was like what the hell? It was strange but I managed to turn off and back on my computer and worked. When the Windows was back on the the Device specifications was confused and does not recognize my i7 4790k. I went into my GeForce Experience application and it recognize as a 4790k. My computer was confused but the only way to fix this problem is to reset the bios or restart the computer. So I restarted my computer and finally the dell optiplex recognize as a 4790k. I bought a new GPU Zotac Gtx 1660 super on black friday. My Dell Optiplex 9020 got improved and it was no longer a low tier pc gaming. It went into a mid high tier gaming pc thanks to i7 4790k CPU and GTX 1660 super gpu upgrades. My dell optiplex 9020 in a little bit more faster now 😁😁😁
Congratulations! Strange error but glad it worked out.
Great I’m Alexa stupid I cant wait!
Why did you stop?
Hey CrazyCrafter - haven’t stopped just yet :) Lots of family and life commitments have worked against me. An exciting new set of videos coming up though.
@@TheNetGuy oh ok
By the way thx for the vid
I’m doing some benchmarking of the 9020 and some gaming video cards. Any suggestions for titles I should test with? AAA titles, free to play (Fortnite), or retros (Borderlands, Bioshock, GTA V)?
@@TheNetGuy Minecraft is fun
I'm about to buy 10 of these for 200 bucks :)
A steal still!
@@TheNetGuy
All things are possible when you're buying used from the Gumment
I call it the "Deficit Spending Discount"
Matter of fact, I might buy 20 of em
I just bought 2 5-year-old ricoh copiers from the DMV for 10 bucks each, still in fine working condition.
People's jaws would hit the floor if they knew how much perfectly functional product the government effectively throws away every year just to justify their budgets.
Matter of fact, I bought 20 HYBRID police bicycles a few months ago for 100 bucks. I picked one out for myself... thought about selling the rest... but instead decided to line them up on the sidewalk and let anyone who wants one take one. They couldn't believe it. Anyone who took one, I'd say, "Just remember. Your tax dollars paid for this bike to be replaced. The reason you now have this bike is because it was deemed unworthy of being sat upon by police officers."
I suppose I shouldn't be biting the hand that feeds me like that... but that's probably why I gravitate toward side-hustles anyway. I'm not good at keeping my mouth shut in the presence of bullshit. LOL!
If our government wasn’t good at waste and abuse, they’d be no good at all! Great finds and they make good Windows 10 PCs still. Doing a live stream case swap of one into a pretty RGB case on Wednesday on the channel if you want to tune in. 👍
What is the best gpu I could run with an i7?
2080ti. Done. :)
Of course, that assumes you upgrade the power supply in my other video. And maybe do a case swap for the longer card. I’d say get a gtx1650 and enjoy! It will run great based on my graphics card benchmark videos.
Thanks for getting back to so quickly.
The Net Guy I have no problem upgrading the power supply, is there any card between a 2080 and 1060 you would recommend? Or should I grab 1060 6 gig and call it a day?
I’ve been partial to the Rx570 and Rx580. Still a very solid card.
getting a i7 processor would raise the price and not make it as worth it to get it, as alot of people buy that PC because of it's cheap price
i need some information about dell optiplex xe2
in my country we dont have 9020 just xe2
information about upgrade
Hi Mohamed - it looks identical in everything I’ve looked at. What kind of upgrades do you want to do to it?
@@TheNetGuy Is there anything that hinders the installation of a graphics card, such as
hp 800g1
If you have the small form factor then yes, you can only use single low profile cards without large heat sinks. If it’s the MT, then all the steps in this video are all you need: “Dell 9020 - $100 Gaming Upgrade”
Thanks for the video! #GiveMeMinecraft #TheNetGuy
Shoot me an email. The promo ended but I’ll work something out for you ;)
@@TheNetGuy Hey Jon, I never heard back from you. Let me know if you're still willing to work something out.
gg its 300 to 200 canadiens on best buy for 120GB
Yikes! That’s spendy!
A year later.....a 9020 on eBay is about $280 !!
Amazing isn’t it!? Scalpers just don’t sell tickets and GPUs for over price ;). Take a look at the HP 800 G2, it’s my next favorite.
Fk
Can this computer run roblox good?
Yes!
Walmart on this pc it a rip of gef it from ebay
Noch
You are kinda funny
Ditto 😉
@@TheNetGuy 7020 should be cheaper and its literally the same machine. Be aware that older big graphics cards like a 6970 only fit if you bend one of the plugs on the board. New ones wont fit. Also you will need a biger PSU.
Yeah you found my very first video from over two and a half years ago. One of my next videos was a PSU upgrade. Then benchmarked 6 video cards. Then did a new for 2021 swap video you might like. ruclips.net/video/31LM6RybHmU/видео.html - welcome!
@@TheNetGuy YT algorithm brought us together. The 7020 and the 9020 are still good machines. Bought my son one 2 years ago, packed a GTX 650 or something in it and he still playing Apex on it today and that for under 200 €. Unbelievable how long hardware holds up nowadays if I remember back to my 386 days ^^. It’s good that you do this cheap hardware/ budgets build videos. A good gaming experience is also possible with old hardware.Keep up the good work.
I forgot I packed also a BeQuiet PSU in it, so maybe 250€.
Lol I’m prob late but I want minecraft because I purchased a optiplex and have no money for games 😂 #GiveMeMinecraft #TheNetGuy
Hey #TheNextGuy I'd love a copy for my son and the gaming system we're building out together. #GiveMeMinecraft
معلومات خوبی بود.
