Everything is upgradeable but take in mind biggest limit... the power supply ~ 240 watts max. I have one, is my main machine since 5 years, bellow ill list the upgrades that i did: Stock hardware: Core i5 3470 8 gigs of ram (2x4gb) 2 crappy not remember what ati pcie cards (tried to play with these, just impossible) 1tb hdd Todays hardware: Xeon E3-1270 v2 24 gigs of ram (added 2x8gb crucial modules) 1 gtx 750ti 2gb OC (planning to go to 1650ti since 1050ti has the same 75watts as tdp) 1 ssd samsung evo 1tb 1 hdd 2tb The biggest challenge was the cpu upgrade, looking at the Dell's upgrade paper, they say that the most powerfull cpu supported is Core i7 3770s, looked on online stores to it, so expensive. Reading here and there, found that the chipset is compatible with the xeon E3-12XX family, then googled to it. To my surprise there was people that flawlessly upgraded to some E3-1240 and 1235, at this point i wanted a Xeon too xD. Pushed the limits and a few bucks for a used 1270v2. The seller told me, that he was giving a lot of these to people that were looking for the 3770s since its low tdp vs 3770.- Crossed my fingers and tadaaa, running smooth since a year. ********////////// ADVICE ////////////********************////////// ADVICE ////////////********************////////// ADVICE ////////////********** If you plan to upgrade to XEON, you need an PCIE graphics card on place, its a server processor so the boundled Ivy Bridge graphics is not present on it. Hope this information helps, greets!

Good video, just purchased one of these off eBay for my wifes new work at home call centre job. Wanted to see what inside the case looked like to see what I was working with. Now I know the correct size of SSD bracket I will need for this case. (screws line up) Kinda wish there was space to keep both SSD & HDD... I may be able to once I see it in person... Something crude... But... For the SSD thermals... Likely best I just forget about the HDD. I doubt she will need to use much storage on her job, so the 250gb Crucial MX500 should be plenty on it's own!

[@jamrah8713]

The dell optiplex series was MADE for these upgrades. It’s so easy to flip them for a profit because of how cheap you can find em on the second hand market since they’re in bulk (I got mine for free from my dads work). Chuck in a gpu, a lil more ram and an ssd and boom a good mid range pc for the price of a console.

[@TheJimmyCartel]

Generally speaking, you only want to push your psu to about 50% load. Given that the whole pc only used like 80-100watts, i would say adding a 1050ti hurts the already old 240w powersupply. Adding something better then a gt 1030 warrents a bigger psu imo. Lowers its lifespan. If anyone in the comments is doing this to there own pc, its worth keeping in mind.

thx, do you have the link? Did you try?

[@Writeous0ne]

300w is just to cover the gpu makers back. They recommend more just to be safe, say for instance you had a cpu that used more wattage, then the system would need a bigger psu. As someone said even under load any gpu under 75w tdp which is required because this build has no power cable for a gpu it can only draw power from the pcie slot.

[@JakuDesu]

HI, I ve a dell optiplex 3020 MT and i got a brand new rx 570 4gb mining edition. i replaced the psu to a thermaltake 700w and i use a 24 pin to 8 pin connector for the the motherboard . My computer just works fine but when the GPU is installed the computer turns on, CPU fan is spinning / GPU fans too /the lights are on but no display, nothing shown on the screen. i put the the VGA cable to the convertor and then i plug it into the GPU. the computer turns on but no boot and nothing shown on the screen again . and when i plug the VGA cable into the motherboard it works and i can see the GPU information on CPUZ. .i updated the bios to the latest version that i found on dell website, and put the boot mode on UEFI . i put secure boot OFF and legacy option roms ON? but the same thing happened. so what other ways i can try ? ? Note i m plugging the 8 in the GPU and every other cable is plugging properly.

Where is the original Graphic Card located? I wanted to removed the original one first before installing a new one. Please help! Thanks and nice tutorial.

[@nicolenardin149]

Im pretty sure that the original graphics card is an integrated one meaning its soldered onto the mother board so you cannot remove or change them, only add to the slot

Hi.

[@li0ngr33n]

It's still wort it today? I found for 120€ a Dell optiplex 7010 I7 3770 4GB DDR3 500GB HDD A decent upgrade from my Phenom X4 955 maybe?

[@Writeous0ne]

That cpu is worth more than that, get it. I'm assuming you have some ddr3 ram in your old system? Put that ram in it and then get a 1050ti low profile. It should last you a couple of years at least. My system is phenom ii 965 BE. I overclocked it to 4ghz and got an rx560, can play mosy AAA titles on mixed settings at 1080p but it's time to move on so I bought a SFF for 70 euros with a i5 3570, now I just need a 1050ti low profile :).

[@damikedaevil4582]

Got mine for free from work with a I5 3rd Gen. Just put fresh coolingpast on. Clicked 16gigs of ddr3 and 500 gig ssd. For €85,- it already has a videocard in but thinking of getting the 1050ti for €135,-so very good deal for a descent gaming pc👍

Vlajko Jankov hey, i have this pc and i have an ssd and hdd in it but i also have the optical drive in it. I put the 3.5 inch hdd in the bracket and i put the ssd on the plastic air flow of the heatsink with double sided tape. Everything works and i can still close the side panel and because of the plastic airflow, the ssd won’t get overheated or something like that. Try it, for me it works

[@SickPuppyNZ]

Thank you so much for your informative videos on these! Now, I can see from this video that the graphics card has a long tab that fits into the PCIx16 slot on the motherboard. I have the SFF9020, where the graphics card will fit into the PCIx4 slot. Am I better off selling this and getting the 7010 for better utilisation of the graphics card please?

[@manomant181]

No. 9020 uses Haswell 4th gen processors which is better. U will only get like 2 more fps on pcie x16 but if u switch to 7010 it will be worse.

hi man thx for this awesome video. I have a little question here, do you need a psu upgrade for a 1650 low profile?

[@MKA667]

Definitely Finding a decent PSU that could fit in that case would be hard and expensive: if the MB has standard mounting points, and you don't care about SFF, your better option would be to find a used standard µATX case (you can easily get one for free from a computer shop) that can fit a standard PSU... and a standard card!

Only if the card maker says it's optional like some Nvidia 1050's, otherwise no. The motherboard is a (U)ATX case, but a bit longer on the side with the 24 pin power connector. It will fit in a Mid tower or a micro-tower with the power supply on top. That way you can use an ATX power supply and full height card. There is a thread on the Linus user forums with discussion on this.
