BUILDING A $70 GAMING PC! Dell Optiplex SFF

[@SigmaSigmaBoy_69_420]

Did the same thing but swapped cases, coolers, added fans, and put in a 1650. Then I sold it for $350. $150 made

[@ZombieDontMiss]

did the exact same thing in my other 2 most recent videos. Fair deal for what it is, good profit without ripping them off

you mean £550 ($700)?

You are so underrated, thanks for watching btw!

[@SciFiDude79]

Very nicely done. I've seen a number of Dell, HP and Lenovo office PC upgrades where people don't bother to paint the case, and I have to say that doing so makes it look a lot better. Yours looks so clean and, even though it's clearly still a Dell, it looks less like an office PC, thanks to a cheap can of spray paint.

[@ZombieDontMiss]

Exactly, the can was like $3! Lol. Thanks for watching, I appreciate you 🙏🏼

did literally the exact same thing, found an office pc with a decent case on facebook marketplace for 70 bucks w an i5 3470. had that without a gpu for a month till my allowance, then got myself a sweet gtx 750 ti on there and another month later upgraded the cpu cooler cuz i was getting thermal throttles from the old paste and the old cooler. and after everything now i can run fortnite at a solid 120fps in 1080p performance mode and other games as well.

Thank you ‼️

[@walterlegere1403]

This is actually a great way to get into learning about how to work on PC's or upgrade them and tinkering with a $70 PC is way better than doing it on a $1000 pre-built. Actually, $70 is way too much for a system like that. You should be able to get one like that for about $20. However, having said that, the future of gaming is coming and it is quickly leaving these old off-lease cinder blocks behind. If all you want to do is play Steam games and E-sports titles then go for it but let's say you see a game you really want to play but can't because it won't run on your "business" potato. What will you do? Well, you're pretty much stuck with what you have because your upgrade path is extremely narrow and the "proprietary" nature of the system means it won't run any faster than it is now. You'll be forced to upgrade the entire system and trying to sell the brick you have is going to be disappointing at best. Learn on a system like this but save your money to build a better system tomorrow.

[@Tatis_2012]

How can you check if it doesn’t have an operating system? (I’ve never had a pc so I don’t know how to tell.)

[@ZombieDontMiss]

If the PC includes a hard drive, it might have an operating system (OS) installed, but if the listing says "no hard drive," it definitely won't have one. If it has a hard drive but no OS, don't worry-you can still install one (like Windows). It’s a simple process: you just need a USB drive with the OS installation files, which you can create using another computer or laptop. The installation only takes a few minutes.

[@Tatis_2012]

Thank you

[@RoKitten64]

You should install software so you can see the FPS and the thermals of the PC

[@orange7649]

Just did this build heres some notes u need to have before buying 1. Most optiplexes dont come with a wifi/pcie card im rn using a asus wifi usb adapter 2. THE RADEON PRO WX2100 MAKES A DIFFERENCE WITHOUT IT I HAD 40 FPS ON VALORANT AND NOW I HAVE 230 3. The radeon wx 2100 has a display port not a hdmi so you need a adapter 4. I still havent but replace the thermal paste if you can

Hello, I copied this build exactly but I’m new to pcs and I’m wondering how I’m supposed to connect this to the internet. Do I need a WiFi adapter and if so do u have any underpriced recommendations. Thanks!!

[@ZombieDontMiss]

Hey! I apologize for not covering this in more detail during the video. I should’ve been clearer. I assumed most people would use an Ethernet cable for the internet since a wired connection is the fastest. However, if you need a wireless connection, you can easily get a USB Wi-Fi adapter like you mentioned. Here’s a link to one I recommend: amzn.to/3Xgm2CD Anything would work but just make sure it supports 2.4 GHz or, ideally, 5 GHz. Thanks for your support!

[@Justrando7]

Does it matter which dell optiplex i use?

[@Car.editz.1o1]

no

[@unoriginalname3442]

^yes it does. Clearance for the card and the length of the pcie slot will determine which cards you can put in this thing. my advice, if sff isnt that important to you, go for one of the MT optiplex's since you get more room and, more often, a full size pcie slot. This allows you to use larger, not low profile, gpus given that they can run off pcie power exclusively. For example: a 3020 MT paired with a single fan 1050 ti.

Can this work on Dell Optiplex newer models like 9020

Yes, as long as you look up the wattage of the power supply. If the graphics card isn’t too power consuming, it will be perfectly fine. Actually it’d be better, since the newer ones have better processors.
