  • In this video I show you guys how to upgrade an old office pc for gaming. I talk about what kind of parts you should upgrade in an older system and how to change out each part. This in my opinion is the best way to put together a cheap gaming pc.

      Tech By Matt: I did my own system kinda like this but hunted the Australian gumtree site for my local 2nd hand gear, got a z77 & 3770k, new 120gb ssd, added a 1060 6gb i got on special & a new 80+ gold psu, (also got win7u coz I use&hate win10), also slowly worked up to 32gb ram for no real reason & installed it into a custom modded ikea display cabinet with 8x 200mm fans
      Works mint for 1440 & 1080p, sadly 4k is horrid.

    Glad I found your video. I was wondering if I would be able to use my existing pc, and just add extra storage, a new case, and the rgb cooling fans.. I have a windows 11 hp 4gb desktop pc I bought from WalMart,(the one with the keyboard, mouse, and speakers- the slim one) It was 200 and something, and I got a 27 inch Roku monitor to go with it which was a hundred and something, so my pc in total came out to 400 and something or almost 400 with taxes. I wanted at least a terabyte of storage at the time, but it was out of my price range, and I really wanted a separate monitor. I was using an all in one pc with a terabyte of storage. I'm hoping if I do all this it will be simple, and wont have to reinstall windows,etc.. I figured I would just use all the parts off this pc, except order more RAM, a new case, and the rgb fans..It's a 64 bit operating system, Has Intel Celeron J4250 CPU , something is 2.00 GHz. I do everything on this pc. I ordered a new keyboard and mouse from TEMU. I have been checking out their pc stuff, but some stuff has been discontinued which sucked butt. I'm all about the rgb stuff now. I have lights going around my desk, my keyboard is sitting on something that lights up, my headphones light up, my headphone holder lights up.. I can't wait to explore and learn about converting my pc..

    8gb ram
    Perfect to put a mid range gpu in and play some games. The 4590 benches better than the i7 3770 for less money, and the psu can handle a mid range gpu easily

      Typically the only parts you would remove and upgrade are the gpu and psu. The goal is to buy a cheap pc with a good cpu, which also has a good amount of ram, like 8gb. Then from there, all you need to do is stick a gtx 750 ti or 1050 ti in it as well as a better psu and you have a budget gaming pc

    You need to say that some OEM motherboards have a different PSU connector and might need an adaptor for another to work on it, plus some systems will not support 16gb of ram like mine.
    On the GPU side of things some cards like the gtx 1050 don't need a seperate PSU connection and draw the power from the board l, as long as the OEM unit matches the requirements of the GPU money can be saved for a more modern better supported gpu.

      I just bought dell optiplex 990 for $110 on Offer Up. It had 4gb ram and a 2600 non k too. It transferred my 600 watt power supply, added 4gb more of ram(total of 8gb ddr3),and my gt 1030 from my old build. This a great medium-high setting build now. I had an i5 650 before....

    Some newer Intel CPU holders/sockets (that's where the CPU rest on the MB) on the motherboard do not have a readily visible alignment mark. There are notches on each side of the Intel CPU and if you look carefully you will see the corresponding protrusions on the Intel CPU holder/socket. Align the Intel CPU notches with the socket. For RAM - if you are adding to what you already have, try to get the same latency. It will look something like this for example: 16-16-16-39. It may be important in some instances. Just today I had an incompatibility issue with some RAM and once I removed the add-on RAM my system again worked fine. _Most RAM will work in unison with other RAM,_ but sometimes it will not. For you newbies, I hope this helps? Praise The Lord and Godspeed to you all - Hebrews 10:35!!

      Ram of differing latency will always train to the lower spec or the higher latency/lower speed RAM's specs. Mixing ram is generally a bad idea unless it's just mixing brand names that doesn't seem to matter much but differing speeds and latency matters quite a lot.

    • @TheLionAndTheLamb777

      It's been my experience that if you have low density and high density modules in the same machine it will cause issues, and the same goes for using double sided with single sided modules. I just want to throw it out there because I know from experience that these Dell Optiplex 790 and 990 computers won't post with DDR3-1066 (PC3-8500) or 8GB DIMM Modules. They also only work with unbuffered DDR3-1333 or 1600. They won't work with Registered, ECC, or Buffered memory. They sometimes also won't work with "gaming" memory that requires more than 1.5 volts. Gaming memory is not going to be of any benefit anyway in these systems as they offer no ability for overclocking.

      On Soul Not necessarily. If you do 60 fps on higher resolutions then the 1070 is the component creating a bottleneck. While the 2600 will go strong up to around 100-120 fps at 1080p ultra.

      I've since then invested into a better cooler (212 evo) and got my xeon to 4.0 Ghz, and it performs almost like a I7-3770 at stock.
      The x3470@4.0Ghz won't bottleneck a 6gb 1060 and also it will bottleneck a 1070 by only 10% which is great, i find RX580 8gb match for it.
      Just when picking xeons, try getting the ones that are either rebranded consumer chips or the ones with higher clock speeds and lower core count, something like 4c/8t is just fine for gaming and it's probably going to perform better than 8c/16t that would excel in workstation loads like video editing and animation/3d modelling etc etc
