My build about 6 months ago was about $1300, but these super cheap builds are the videos I like seeing the most. Something satisfying about seeing these mass-produced workstations given a second life; like a sleeper car.
It’s basically a sleeper pc lol

actually not that bad for that price lol
You are scammed:(
Scammed. Should of gone lower on the cpu and higher on the graphics. Damn prebuilt kiddies LOL
@@JudeTheRUclipsPoopersubscribe DUDE 900 CAD IS LIKE 650 DOLLARS
@@JudeTheRUclipsPoopersubscribe Dude the i5 is the minimum in 2020, if that person was on a super low budget then a i3 would be doable, but a i3 is the lowest that you could possibly go. Not to mention that higher graphics cards like the 3090 wouldn’t have worked with lower CPU’s because of compatibility and motherboard compatibility.
Thank you! I have been wanting to get into PC gaming for a while now and I ended up buying a refurbished Dell Optiplex with an ssd for around $250, it was meant to just be an upgrade from my old pc till i got a better one but now thanks to this video and my brothers suggestions it looks like i can actually sorta force this pc to do what I want it to. But again, wouldn't be possible without you guys!
It has been a month. How is the PC going?

Perfect build for my grandpa this is exactly what he was looking for thanks !
Oh my i have saved up and you uploaded on time! LUV U BROTHERS
please dont buy this pc, its for your own good
btw how much have u saved up?
cuz i have a reccomendation that is ACTUALLY recommended by them

If your budget is already at $400, then PLEASE just have a little more patience. Your SO close to building a really nice PC. Dumping $400 into crap is NOT the smart way to go at all. You can get full-blown gaming PC for 599 currently & it's full of upgrade room for years to come. Example Only: www.walmart.com/ip/HP-Pavilion-Gaming-R5-1650-Super-8GB-256GB-Gaming-Desktop-Tower/943933730
This isn’t a bad build - Esports , recent-older PC games and emulation would do well. Just temper your expectations and you’ll have fun. Also a case transplant can pretty it up a bit if that’s important to you. But this SFF fits well into an entertainment center quite nicely.
This shows you that you can do something like this! Everyone else should do the same
But will it last very long that’s the question
I put Mayo on my CPU because I ram out of thermal paste 🤷♂️
Seinfeld music starts playing
I put toothpaste
I put EVGA superclocked jam that came with my GDDR6 NVIDIA Bread
I put on some paint that its the shape of the verge application
What can I say except delete this🔫
boutta build my first pc this channel inspired me to
Same!!
Hope it goes well for you! Pro tip dont be nervous when building, if your hands start to shake it'll be a lot harder.
specs I need to know lmao
@@jodysu9887 same
Spec?
Finally a pc that I can afford
If you are planning to do this style of build, make sure to pick-up a dual fan model if it will fit in your case. I have a similar build in a HP elite 8300 sff with a gigabyte single fan model, and it does get toasty lol. Make sure to also get some kind of fan control software from the respected maker of the video card or something like msi afterburner, you will need it.
This is what I'm talking about! This is what I NEED
If you pay $100 instead of $75... The price hops up $50 to $100 more... haha Anyone else catch Jack's math on that one? Matt instantly reacts with a face :) lol love these guys

i recently ordered a 3020 sff optiplex from you guys and it works great. looking to add an ssd now
Tysm i have an optiplex and really want a gaming pc but since prices going up its hard to find a good pc so im planning on doing this upgrade and changing the case (alr watched the vid)
used the same setup. added 16gb ram 500gb ssd replaced i5 2400 with xeon e3 1270. low settings i can get over 60 no stutters at all and thats at 1080p in warzone . also did a few windows tweaks and installed it all in a customized case i had laying around. i like the way it runs warzone better then my xbox one s
Did you do case swap to the sff model like they did in this video or the mid size model from Dell?
where do you put the ram modules because i bought some but i’m completely lost , i’m new to this kinda stuff
I work construction and found an optiplex 7010 in and abandoned building, planning on making a gaming pc out of it soon
I literally ran this exact setup but w a i7 2600 as my first build for 2 years and it was exactly what I needed for COD and hd premiere pro editing. HIghly recommend it, I just upgraded to my second build w a r5 3600
How well does the i7 run games?
@@tylow8103 that i7 was awesome, never had any complaints or bottle-necking when i had it w the 1050ti. I now use that cpu in a server build since this chip has 4 cores 8 threads, wouldn't go with anything less tbh.
@@RolandWhales Ok, thanks
What was the Intel card they were using?
Was it the i5?
Exactly the build I was looking for.
Can u plz make a tutorial of changing the case? I want to change mine, is the same pc
Just do your research and make sure that with the measurements and stuff are ok with whatever you wanna add o whatever
I love my Dell Optiplexes!
Love your content i am building your ‘most powerful 300 dollar gaming pc’
Just a heads up. You may be able to get a better model of the dell optiplex in 2021 for a similar price. I would recommend the 7020 0r 9020 as they have more ram slots. Another benefit to these models is the ability to use a fourth generation cpu instead of a second.
this video helped me figure out what components could fit in my old dell cause its my first pc and im looking forward to upgrading it.
I love ur guy’s content and tryna get a pre built ❤️
Charlie Riley right now a prebuilt isn’t too bad as graphics cards are all out of stock and overpriced, along with a couple other components
Always hella fun to watch budget builds
that moment when the gpu costs more than the actual build nowadays
Did they mention the price they paid for that gpu in the video? Cause I cannot find when they say it
gpus are getting more expensive because of crypto miners I've seen a 1050ti go for less than 80$ if I'm remembering correctly (it was a long time ago)
now its goes for 300$ for some reason which is a rip off
My Dell T3500 with Dual Xeon W3503 processors is an even cheaper gaming machine (if you don't count the video card). I run a SSD, 32GB ram and a GTX 3060. It plays anything I throw at it.
I was just looking for something like this for my little bro to switch over to PC, since he sees me with all these computers, haha.
Games that I want to play on a budget PC like this:
Minecraft: Java Edition
CS:GO
Rocket League
Among Us
Also these specs are what I'm trying to aim for:
Intel Core i5 4460 at least
Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050/1050Ti or 1650/1650 Super/Ti
16GB DDR3
EVGA 450BR PSU
For +20$ you can add a 1650 LP instead that's about a 20% performance uplift over the 1050Ti
Also in the video you said the CPU which I suppose is a i5 2400 is bottle-necking the graphics card but it's probably the other way around it's the graphics card that is not fast enough. That CPU should be more than enough for a measly 1050.
I don't know if the motherboards supports it but you can also try fiddling with the RAM timings and slightly overclocking the videocard to get a little more performance.
And for anyone reading this don't buy the I3 2120 variant it's dual core only that will definitely bottleneck the GPU.
Actually this PC only have PCI-E 2 so that is the bottleneck. 1650 should be overkill, and even the 1050 TI is probably not running on fullpower about the power limits of the motherboard. Something like 65 watt and 20 amp as I remember, but maybe I say stupid.
Thanks to you guys I am getting this pc and I’m upgrading it with everything you guys showed me also can you play Minecraft on it???
Ery nice but the gpus are very hard to get now
And cpu
Some sort of true but he thing is that gpu prices have skyrocketed to so much
I love the old back ground
when the 1050ti itself cost $250 dollars in your country :(
same here
lmao
I can’t find a 1050TI For under $150
Buy from AliExpress

@@MichaelSuperbacker I hope you win brother
@@MichaelSuperbacker wtf? The Michael Superbacker?
Yeeeeaaaaaiiiiiiii.... Dell did it!
I own a 7040 and the 7040 and its successors had an interesting "feature".
There was a PCIe 16x slot directly above the PSU and the slot where you now installed your GPU was an PCIe 4x open-ended slot. So with the 7040 you also had the option to install a low profile double slot card but it would only be able to use 4 lanes while the 16x slot could only be used with a low profile single slot card.... Great design 😂
I was just on your Livestream this morning. I wish you would do a PC giveaway on youtube.
they do one everyone month on their live stream
@@PDTownsend oh right, thanks man
just bought the exact pc optiplex 990 4gb of ram no graphics card,will upgrade it for gaming and streaming
thanks guys
Everytime I see this videos the actual price always end up being like 600$+ hope this is different
Sorry mate but the graphics card went up by $100+ best to get a Dell Optiplex 9020 cause the graphics cards are more powerful and don't go up most of the time unlike small form factor plus the i7 4790k can work in it and the only way to get better than that is a i7 6600k which is way more money and a very slight difference so slight that you can't notice it so thats the best go but if your on a budget just need to keep saving and this will be so much worth it i've done a month of research on this and watched 25+ videos on youtube on it so trust me get if you are looking for a good budget pc build best wishes

@@oreo9334 Just ask me on here I don't have a instagram account what is your question
@@EliezYT if I have a 250-300 budget what should I get?
@@oreo9334 Well I suggest is getting a hp pavilion 500 then upgrade the cpu to an i5 4th gen cause the computer comes with i3 which is not good for gaming then add more ram in the future but not now and for the graphics card i suggest a gtx 780 its better than a 1050ti and its $100 so it will be close to a gaming pc i think by then it would be 60fps on fortnite at medium settings but in the future if you want it to be better get a device that copy's a hard drive to another then get a ssd and copy it after then upgrade the gpu to a gtx 780ti its a better than a gtx 1060 3gb and then upgrade the ram to 16gb cause it can handle that and then upgrade it to a i7 4790 not the i7 4790k also upgrade the power supply to handle that and all those upgrades should get you 80+ fps on fortnite at epic settings most likely but it will still be more than 60 thats for sure thats a great budget option and for the future it can be upgraded by swapping out the motherboard but right now its great there is a great option if you want to spend a more then go for and newer hp pavilion here is the link for the hp pavilion 500 www.ebay.com/itm/HP-Pavilion-500-267c-MT-i3-4730-8GB-DDR3-256GB-SSD-DVDW-Windows-10-40/264980814780?hash=item3db2165bbc%3Ag%3AdTAAAOSwglZfyqlh&LH_BIN=1 thats it

an optiplex can be a very good start i recommend always replace the power supply because the ones they come with are old and cheaply made please make sure to replace it it can ruin the computer if it shorts
Doing something similar with an optiplex 990 sff I got from work. Had to replace the PSU, upgraded the i5 2400 to a Xeon 1270. Already 8gb ddr3 in it. Now I just need the 1650 low profile and ssd (which the latter I have).

Technically could have it outside the case but you’d need to figure out what the power switch is for your mobo and use a screwdriver to do it. Would just recommend selling the sff one and get a mt one
this is awesome. my favorite desktop is my Optiplex 980 with i7-880, 16gb (4x4gb) XMS3 1333mhz, 1GB GTX750, 240GB hdd. i upgraded from the i7-860, 4gb ram, and rediculously aweful gpu. if i didnt have to trim the gpu i would have put my gtx 1050 ti sc 4gb in it.
just ordered one from the site, hopefully it performs
When you get it can you update me please
Samee
does it run warzone
I tried this but something I will say is 100% get new hard drive and replace fans for quiter ones too
you should probably put another stick of ram in it if you want better performance quickly
december 2021, today, that 1050ti is worth more than the budget suggested
make sure for your ultra low budget builds you use Performance Mode in fortnite. Doubles FPS.
for Fortnite i recommend you try to put the settings textures on high so your GPU is doing more work resulting in more fps and less input delay, idk why but ye
390 mt with a Gt730 you can get em both for $100 add some ram
And play all these games at medium
Finally a PC build that I can afford
literally the day I decide to start selling these.... Thanks !
I already have a 700$ built but I could use that for lans thx man u were the one that peeked my interesst in building
This makes a great starter pc for a kid. Plays fortnite, slime rancher, minecraft, among us etc.
I would stay away from the i5 2400 though. That pc is going to be really old. If you spend two weeks on ebay can easily get into a 3rd or 4th gen i5 which are substantially better for close to the same price.
Im not a big fan of the LP 1050ti. Those things are really expensive and for the money trade off probably better to get a non LP card plus MId tower size optiplex. Still close to the same total price but much easier to upgrade later
Thx guys ur the best graphics look cool I am definitely subing😎
If you have a small form factor pc and a full size card you can lay it flat, keep the side panel off, and just use a pci-extender and then have the graphics card laying out of the computer. lol, that is what I did for my daughters super budget build.
im running this exact setup but with 12 gb of ram and an i5-3470 although looking for an upgrade since i want to play more games
I was worried the gtx 1050ti lp wouldn't fit inside the optiplex so pits my mind at ease
i got an OptiPlex 7020 for $30, a 750TI low profile for $50, and ram from another system for my little gaming beast
I’m using this computer with an i7 and a 1650low profile because im on a massive budget
I would really appreciate this pc😊
I’m gonna order this PC off your website! I know you probably won’t see this but how fast does it ship?
i have this same exact pc .. im glad i found this video
You do not need a low profile card in a SFF! Although the PSU does have very low wattage and a specific 8 pin PSU to Motherboard connector with no upgrades, that doesn't mean you can't replace the PSU!! If you want a better GPU and PSU with higher wattage please consider getting a 24 pin to 8 pin adapter! THE CASE WILL NOT CLOSE WITH A NORMAL GPU! IF THE PSU DOESN'T FULLY FIT IN THE CASE YOU CAN ALWAYS PUT IT ON THE OUTSIDE! If this helped you're welcome. Low Profile cards are more expensive and cost more than cards that make higher Fps.
yeah but you have to get something like a 750ti lmao
Im not into pc builds but the physical size of the graphic card is based on the size of the pc but if idgaf about aesthetic, I can make a gaping hole in the hatch with a dremel and put a humungus and powerful graphic card?
cant wait to get this because my laptop is so slow with my monitor
you got my exact budget woah
I’m going to be building a PC like this!!!! Just for Runescape, Roblox & CSGO. The only games I play

Please make a video about changing the case, keep up the good work
you cant change the case
It can everything can
i74790K/32GBRAM1600/GTX1650 GDDR6(no pins). MAXED out on SFF system.
i would recommend to put a gtx 1650 its more powerfull, low profile as well and cheaper, so if you find a 1650 around 100-150 bucks go for it
You should test out fortnite in performance mode in this video, for people who would like to play on higher refresh rate, and it would get more fps even tho cpu was maxed out, cause i got 180 average fps on 1080p dx12 with cpu on 100%, but on performance mode i got 240 fps average
