    I bought one on ebay (arrived today) with i7 4790 CPU, 16Gb RAM (on 2 sticks) 512Gb HDD Windows 10 Pro installed or $69. Although I need to look at it closer to see if it is 3.5inch or 2.5 inch hdd. If its 2.5 I can add another SSD. If it;s 3.5 I could try to add and SSD or just replace the hdd. These definitely can be used for gaming using 1/2 height GPU cards such as a Radeon 6400. Mine looked like new, the memory looked new as well.

    For about $100-120 you could throw an RX 6400 in there and it'll play older games like GTA5 just fine at 1080p high settings. The RX 550 low profile is also a solid option for just $50 or so, but it's less powerful.

    dude you are just too clumsy and complaining. all you do is talk this down because you have no clue.
    this system is awesome and my daily driver since 2 years. i upgraded the cpu to i7 4770, 32 gig of ram a SSD added a rtx a2000 yesterday and i can run cyberpunk 2077 with 60+ frames in 1080p high detail. also windows 11 runs like a charm, you just have to patch the stick to oveeride the tpm check.

    The 4770 is apparently beaten out by my Ryzen 3 5300U (Zen2) Acer Swift 3 but I would prefer to use an Optiplex over this because Windows 10 is crap and a machine like that may run Windows 7.

      I’d have to say “not really”. Maybe if you added a low profile video card but the onboard graphics card wouldn’t cut it.
