i5 6500 + rx6400 LP + nvme ssd + 1440p monitor. I just render everything in 1080p and use RSR to upscale to 1440. Stays above 60fps on most games I play. I do get a lot of stutter if the cpu gets maxed out, but for $200 it's a good steam machine
best game youve played?
a cheaper option, since the rx 6400 is usually WAY overpriced for it's performance: get a Dell Optiplex MT, likely with an i5 6500 (unless you can find something better for a little under $100) and pair it with either a GTX 1650, or a GTX 1650 Super (with a SATA to 6 pin power adapter)
should be like $200
WE can get betterrrrrr with custom case GTX 1060 and 3 gen CPU (Intel) for 250

I did a similar upgrade to a 2012 SFF OptiPlex 7010. I upgraded to an RTX A2000, 16GB of RAM, and two SSDs (128 for the boot drive and 512 for Steam game storage). There was plenty of room for the SSDs without having to sacrifice the DVD drive. I also upgraded the CPU from i5 to i7 and renewed the thermal paste while I was at it. I ended up with a very good mid-range gaming PC that plays all my Steam games well at medium settings.
I have experience with a pc in 2010 I was kid I love play pc games like GTA 3 world at war call of duty and I like mod my games so I could play custom zombie maps
Great content explaining how to upgrade a Dell Optiplex. I remember using a couple of those desktop computers during my college student days circa 2010s. Our computer lab had a about 50 of these computers, we even managed to see a couple of them fixed by the IT department. The only caveats we had with them were the thermals and ventilation, it ran a bit hot due to the size of the case and cramped internal parts. We were inside a cool air conditioned room, and yet we would still hear the fan whir loud noises. We often used them to render 3D animation, video editing, design etc. I'm guessing you could still get them for below $100 for a used unupgraded stock unit.
I just picked one of these up to build a sleeper planning to install a itx am4 board with my 5600x that I used to use in my pc before I upgraded with a 4060 low profile and to power it all will be a hd flex 500w 1u psu
The case connectors are proprietary. They make adapters if you need them.
@@kevinfriesen2525 I just took out the usbs and hd audio and replaced it with standard stuff and im just cutting the power button and led and joining it with standard connectors
I really don’t know how to pick the best gpu for my optiplex. When I watch these videos I see them talking about 3 limiting factors: the cpu, the size of gpu and the power draw. I have a MT so I don’t think that size is an issue, an 11th gen i5 so I don’t think that cpu is an issue, I realize that I still have a power issue but I am not sure what I should be looking for in order to make an informed decision…
You have rebar so it’s possible to go with the arc a380. May not be the best but 100 dollars is a killer deal. If not the a380 I’d say 3050
Does the RTX 360 work with the motherboard
gracias for the content = peace
I have a optiplex 9020 with i7 4770 3.4ghz. Do you think upgrading to the 4790k is worth it? Besides GPU and ram where else would you put your money
So I just want to upgrade enough to play rocket league and elden ring, do you have any recommended upgrade path for those specifically? I have the 9020 mid tower with an i7 4790 and I I do understand that elden ring specifically is more CPU intensive but just adding a graphics card (where there currently is none) is step one and probably upgrading the PSU at the same time. Just wanted to know what a good choice would be having those titles in mind
Is it possible if I could just take everything inside that dell and put it into a new case with a new CPU GPU and 16GB of ram?
Why? Just build a new pc at that point but Awnser to your question is yes
@@Albin_09 cause everything in the optiplex is exactly what I need but I think the case is ugly
can this work for optiplex 5040?
Can you try with a 2nd gen i3 optiplex
I'm so confused with the pins for gpu

Hello is it possible to replace the rectangle power supply and put the box one ?
not with this system
Hey! I recently got a 7040 (sff) with pretty much the same guts like it’s almost identical, I have a Wi-Fi card in the small pcie slot so would a low profile GPU fit?
Depends I recommend to get xfx rx 6400 and specifically that model
wheres your hard drive if your not using 2.5 sata?
I'm looking for insights on this budget rig: I purchased an sff OptiPlex 7010 equipped with a 13th gen i5-13500, 16GB of 3200MHz RAM (dual sticks), and it has a 180W bronze-rated proprietary PSU. Will it be able to handle an RX 6400? I've seen conflicting information online, so any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
It has a tdp of 53 but I don’t think it would be able to handle it switch to a 240w psu
Can i upgrade the CPU?
I’ve got an Optiplex 990 I’m turning into a decent, not amazing, gaming rig. Emulation. It has integrated graphics which don’t work with many emulators so I’ve ordered a graphics card. Will I be able to install it by this guide or is there more to do because of the integrated graphics? I’ve been told yes & no. I’m not sure & im not about to start this until I know. It’s been years since I’ve done this & im gonna do it right if possible. Thanks for any help from anyone.
Low profile graphics card fit
but not full size.
Can anyone please tell me if I can use a Rtx 3050 on it . I have thr same pc but I am not sure of the size whether it will fit or not so can anyone pos tell me if I can fit a rtx 3050 to the same pc
Problaby not also the psu prob wont be enough
Can it play Read dead redemtion 2 or God of War ragbarok?
how do I replace a motherboard on a dell optiplex? I want to get a new and better cpu but the motherboard doesnt support it, the best cpu that I can get on my dell optiplex 9020 MT is an i7 4790k and I got that, but I want to get a better cpu. how do I get a new cpu? do I need a new motherboard?
Your motherboard only supports socket 1150 which are 4th generation if intel CPU. You will only need a new motherboard if you're upgrading your Cpu to a newer generation
What kind of cpu does it have?
an R5 240? Please tell me you didn't actually pay money for that... I noticed you also didn't show a demonstration of it in action.
We have benchmarks on our website and RUclips.
@@PCBrosTech I stand corrected. Fortnite, Minecraft and Valorant, all on the lowest settings and surprisingly playable. And it looks like you tested all this two years ago, so that card might have been one of the more reasonable options during the GPU drought.
That being said I wouldn't go for this video card for games that were any more advanced. I'd go for a GT 1030 or RX 550 for a more capable gaming rig. But I'm quite pleasantly surprised by how well the card did in this admittedly small sample of undemanding games.
I have an OPTIPLEX. I am missing th GPU.
Also i am missing the SSD too.
Is a ssd needed?
recommended for sure.
SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET
I used download all zombie mod on this computer 2010 call of duty world at war turn out I got computer virus
Ya those cod zombies mods used to be very sus. Glad it’s all done via Steam now for BO3.
I'm sorry, but how can you call this PC "gaming ready" when it doesn't have *any* RBG?
Bro it doesn’t have to look pretty to be able to run and play games really well
@@LeogeckoGamesFirst of all... it was sarcasm. And secondly, I'm not your bro, pal.
