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.
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 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…
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

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
What kind of cpu does it have?
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
SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET
I have an OPTIPLEX. I am missing th GPU.
Also i am missing the SSD too.
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'm sorry, but how can you call this PC "gaming ready" when it doesn't have *any* RBG?
