[@maezaranimations]

do they have to be the Gigabyte GTX 1650? or can it be MSI?

[@4879daniel]

A word of warning. I had this exact setup and was getting random crashes when playing games that worked the GPU hard. The design of the case means that you're blowing hot air from the CPU staight over the GPU. My GPU was running permanently at 1c below its maximum (and periodically touching that maximum) and there is nowhere in the case to add fans. I tried drilling some holes in the side panel but it didn't help. In the end I cut a square in the side and have mounted a 92mm fan outside (inside would be awkard and size limiting) to push cool air in (there is a spare 4 pin fan connector on the motherboard). Temps have dropped by 6c and I haven't had a crash yet. I absolutely do recommend this PC setup as you get amazing value for money but do be prepared for some DIY.

Ok this is actually pretty damn useful. For those unaware, you can make a side hustle from buying old workstation PCs, upgrading them to have 4-6 core CPUs, the GPUs mentioned in the Pinned comments, etc. and you can make a ~50-100 dollar profit. That's because you can make cheap gaming PCs that can still run AAA titles with 60FPS+. The fact that he's showing us how to do just that is Awesome.

same. im trying to do some of these if not all of these mods but i want to watch it working to make sure i dont waste money and time

[@BadGirlsClubExtendedFights]

Doodle Marz DRM it will work perfectly fine. But i recommend a dell optiplex 3010, 7010 or 9010. These work perfectly fine too and they are more compact. I have a 7010 sff upgraded the i3 to an i5 2400, from 4gigs to 16gigs, from a 250gig harddive to 2 2.5 inch disks (120gig ssd and a 1tb harddrive) and put in a msi gtx 1050 low profile and it's very stable, i use it now as a daily gaming pc but i'm waiting for ryzen 3000 and it's also good for lan party's because small size of the pc. The small cooler handles the i5 2400 pretty well with on full load a max of 70 degrees celcius, gpu gets to around 65 degrees celcius. My laptop with a 2410m gets higher temps on full load, around 91 degrees celsius, so to the point it almost shuts off. But i recommend one of the 3010, 7010 or 9010 sff because i can confirm it works great, if tou want a little more headroom tou can pick the DT version of these.

Hi so I have a HP compaq 8200 Elite small form factor. Would all of the things you used in the video work with it?

[@casteg52]

I upgraded with the graphics card installed in the video and ran into a hitch... wondering if upgrading or replacing the 240w power supply will fix it... The problem is the screen goes black sometimes. No rhyme to it. Sporadic. Only goes black for a loooong second, but anything is too long when gaming. Do I need to test the power supply that came with it? I know the above setup is pushing it on the board. And I can't find any power supply to replace this hokey design of the PSU it came with to get more watts. I got a replacement low-profile card and that didn't fix it.

[@mcdongle9933]

casteg52 I have the 1050 oc card with this build, and the cards have near identical power usage so either you have a faulty GPU, faulty PSU or maybe you need to update your drivers?

I know this vídeo as some time but i need help with a small detail. I have this on SFF and i just installed an SSD. On doing so i saw that you have 4 sockets to power the discs: Dark blue Light blue White Black So for what i saw from my computer, the DVD reader os on the dark blue, the SSD on the light blue and the HDD on the white sockets. Does the sockets have influence on the speed of the reading/writing process? I don't use the DVD and want to migrate Windows to the SSD to make it faster.

[@computerrefurbishment9748]

Hi you should be able to find motherboard layout online. For my 8300, dark blue = o/s boot drive (ssd), light blue = 2nd hdd, white = optical. I believe the 2 blue ones are faster access speed. Black is for 2nd optical. As a side note, I had to enter bios and change the sata speed to highest value.

I have the 8300 non-sff... is it still the same ram? Google has been very confusing on that point.

[@mcdongle9933]

randy rittenhouse depends, what cpu do you have, if you have the same cpu and motherboard as this guy it should be the exact same

[@revergeisgoated564]

So if I replace the hard drive with those will windows still be on there

[@ijiopu]

No, you need to re install Windows and all the programs... You COULD clone the hard drive but I wouldn't recommend it

[@anddysierraalvarez8216]

Mxkdi Could you give me the links to buy everything you used to improve the computer, except the Video card. thanks

Hello I just saw your video I have the same pc but has a i7 3770, the HDD of 466gb of the pc and SSD 224gb and 16gb DDR3 is it possible to put the gtx1650 or with the 240w power supply would not be possible?? I Hope that yo can see my coment.

[@Mxkdt]

Hi, yes gtx 1650 will work fine with 240watt power supply in that hp pc and you have to add rear system fan on the back for better air flow..

Hola como estas? tengo una HP compaq elite 8300, y tengo 3 discos duros ( quite el quemador para instalar uno mas) Pero tengo un cable corriente sata tipo ( Y ) Puedo conectar otro disco duro? mi ram es de 28gb

[@demosantonopoulos4959]

Can the power supply handle that video card? I'm looking for a lower cost card with dual HDMI for non gaming. Any ideas?

[@Mxkdt]

Hi, yes that power supply works fine with that video card.

How many pins are used in this PC for ram cards

[@TE5LA-GAMING]

It uses DDR3 memory, 240-pin. You can put up to 32GB (8x4).

[@an1mw]

I can't take off the side panel. When I pull the handle up it doesn't move and when I put it back down it makes a sound. Any help? . Edit: Also wondering if I install a GTX 1050 TI do I need to connect a 6 pin connecter? Also will there be enough power?

[@Sheppity]

I recommend getting a low profile to avoid hassle of plugs and connectors since LP don't need ang external cable. Just connect into the motherboard and go. Any graphics card at or under 75W should work and there will be enough power.

[@an1mw]

@@Sheppity Thanks, unfortunately you are too late as I no longer need this information

[@karlislagzdins4556]

can you change psu on this pc?

[@djsi38t]

No you can't it has to be the same exact PSU.

My hp 8300 turns on but theres no display and both my keyboard and mouse are not working, i opened it and i saw a green light in the midle of the ram slots. What should i do?

[@skip741x3]

that is one funky looking propriety power supply! i have a dell 9020 sff and it has another weird looking one with an 8pin mb connector.. though if people want to swap the internals to a full sized case, there Are adapter connectors to allow 24pin to 8 pin

[@Mxkdt]

Hi... you can buy 24pin to 8 pin adapter online they sell,
