Just another proof that people seriously overestimate the true system requirements of most games these days. I'd bet that if you'd slap in a low-power 2GB GTX 750ti, it'd 1080p/60fps a huge chunk of fairly modern games. All while still hovering below that 100$ total cost.

I got myself a used Lenovo Ideacentre 610s a few months ago. It's a mini PC even far smaller than a tiny mITX build at only 2 liters. With an i5-6500T and a GTX 750 Ti I'm able to play any modern game, including really heavy ones such as AC:Odyssey. But 1600x900, 30 fps and low/medium settings will be a requirement from 2019 and onward for most AAA titles.

I picked up an HP Elite 8300 SFF from eBay and have been having a blast with it. The box I bought came with a Core i7-3770. I took the whole thing apart down to the screw level, removed the CMOS battery, washed everything (including the case and bezel) in the sink with a little dishwashing detergent, then let it dry thoroughly. I spray-painted it, then loaded it up with 32 GB of DDR3, added a GTX 1050 Ti, a high-gain dual-band PCIE WiFi adapter, and 1 TB SATA SSD. Yeah, the components I added are worth more than the original system, but I had them lying around from other builds and didn’t have to buy anything new. Needless to say, it’s been a pretty terrific system. I had loads of fun restoring and enhancing it.

[@fourtrax4ever]

Thanks for mentioning the pcie wattage thing. About 3 years ago my old highschool was giving away their old library computers (dell optiplex's) as they were upgrading to newer ones. Well I got one (an optiplex 360 with a core2 duo e7300) to use as a family media center. When researching which graphics card to use for the system, I found the 360 (along with most other sff systems on the 775 platform from most oem's) had a max power output of 25w through the pcie x16 slot, which meant something like a gt730 would be the most powerful nvidia card it would support. Though long story short, they ended up getting a passive hd 5450, which for what the system is used for (netflix, youtube and skype mainly) is perfectly usable. Good job on the video! Been loving the content!

[@JonathanWJ]

I have an Optiplex 780 with a C2D E7500 and HD 7450 as my HTPC, as well. A great machine!

[@EvilTurkeySlices]

I didn’t know the sff 360 had the power limit. I have the desktop version and it has no power limit.

[@fourtrax4ever]

If I had to guess, the power limit is due to the fact the sff system only has a 255w proprietary psu, so there's not a whole lot of headroom for expansion cards

[@StormDawntion]

Oh I think my school is doing something similar to that right now. They just have a bunch of optiplexes and Compaqs sitting out in the hallway. I need to ask around if they are giving them away because I really need a computer right now

[@attarsanahresources5540]

Link, please?

[@Interknetz]

Optiplex 790 by any chance? I have the same specs, minus the HDD. The HDD was some 320GB 7200RPM Drive. Also paid the same price in GBP. I've also bought 2x 80mm PWM fans from Arctic (£9 on Amazon for one, but £9 on Ebay for 2!) and some adapters for dells proprietary connectors of course. I'll probably try to use the extra fan in place of the blower one that's on the heatsink just because it'll be cheaper to replace if it works without issues temp wise. Oh, the optical drive is gone, and I mounted an SSD in its place using the two screw holes near the edge as well as a 3.5 inch drive adapter to make it a 2x 2.5 inch. So I could easily have 3 SSDs in there if I wanted, but I have 1 ssd and 2 HDDs. I also managed to find a drive bay cover though I had to hot glue it in place, otherwise it protruded from the front panel which looks crap.

[@singletona082]

I got damned lucky and snagged a lenovo SFF i5 with 8 gigs of ram already installed pretty much for shipping off a friend. Given before that point I was on a box that capped at four gigs of ram and was a core duo? Even such a modest box is a big upgrade. The only things I'd really want to do: New GPU Solid State Drive Replace the fans for quieter ones. Maybe upgrade the PSU to something less anemic, but that would take getting adaptors and buying the thing that fits in a SFF case.

It does tend to run pretty close to the limit when overclocked and drawing 160 watts though, especially when I upgraded the CPU to an i7-3770 from the i3-2120 I was running before. It originally had a celeron in it when I got it but I upgraded it after a year or two.

Yeah yeah... when Activision get used to optimize their games on a better way :)

[@JakonDeluxe]

I love SSF PCs. Currently I use an Acer Veriton as my secondary rig that came with the same i3 2120 + 8GB of 1333MHz DDR3 RAM. Upgraded it to an i7 2600, maxed the ram out to 16GB and put a GTX 760 in it and now I am pretty much set.

[@TehPlayer14]

It was worth staying up late

[@tEhNozark]

I got my Optiplex SFF maxed out at: GPU: 1050 TI 4 GB Video Ram Low-Profile. CPU: Intel Core i7 2600, 3.4 GHz Quad-Core, Turbo Boost to 3.8 RAM: 16 GB RAM. HDD: 4 TB Seagate HDD. SSD: 256 GB.

[@thiagonunes0202]

Bro, do you use the original power supply?

[@pogchamp4542]

Some what early so... do I get anything for that? Heart maybe?

[@BudgetBuildsOfficial]

You can have a reply

[@pogchamp4542]

Good enough

[@jamiehayn]

"stick a cheap graphics card inside" 2021 prices: allow us to introduce ourselves

[@deagt2695]

GT 1030!?A lot of better and more cheaper cards like GTX 750,750Ti,480,570,660,950,etc... ;-)

[@BudgetBuildsOfficial]

I would like to see you stick a GTX480,570, or 660 in this PC.

[@MunkeyChips]

dea gt yeah.... Those probably won't fit.

[@oridons9649]

Keep in mind that this is a SFF machine. So only low profile cards will fit in. Except for a low-profile 1050ti, I'm pretty sure the 1030 is the best way to go.

[@GugureSux]

there is also low-power GTX 1050 (non-Ti) models, that'd still be a step up from 1030. That being said, there's a handful of videos showcasing how much the GT 1030 can do. You could also go with prev-gen low power cards, like GTX 950 or the now legendary 750ti 2gb.

[@TheSilviu8x]

nothing new will ever work, the bios is the limiting factor. Just stick with older cards.

[@LoveNotWar96]

I watched this video back in 2020 And it made me actually buy this exact hp off ebay. It treated me pretty well to be honest. It had the exact same i3 2120 in it too, I upgraded it to 8gb of ram I added a 1tb hdd along with the 500gb that it came with. And a Gigabyte GT 1030 And it was able to play every game that I wanted to. Some relatively new ones too, and 80% of the time, it would hit at least 30-40fps in any game i threw at it. With high to max settings. If I remember correctly, it used to run GTA V with max settings in 720p (apart from MSAA) and it hardly ever dipped below 50fps Max settings in 1080p hit 30fps average, maybe 25fps dips every once in a while for a split second. In a strange way I kinda miss it

[@vincenzoparisi6964]

I don't even have 50$

[@Scorpion-md8hb]

Vincenzo Parisi sad :'(

[@Scorpion-md8hb]

I'm Alt-Right Jack lol

[@Brommes]

I got the i5 version, stuck 16gb ram in there and a 1050ti 4gb as well .. Disabled the 12v parts like the dvd drive and the 3.5" HD and got two 5v SSD's installed in there. that made it possible to install a 3slot pcie usb3 port hub in the SFF internal slots. .. This setup makes it a great 1080p gaming machine .. many on high and max .. I fully recommend this ..

[@acidyyanimations4630]

There is a kit on amazon for £80 it comes with a optiplex,a monitor,windows 10, keyboard and mouse

[@JayTuut]

This is actually pretty good, would love this for an away-from-home PC

[@HaonProductions]

The processor I've been using for, God, at least 4 years now, was originally from an Optiplex or similar machine (i5 3570 I think). The rest of it is a Frankenstein of used and discounted parts that occasionally chugs (I'm not sure where the bottleneck is) all built around a GTX 1060 6GB that handles most everything I throw at it (but mostly just shooters and emulation these days). I fully intend to run this thing into the ground until I get a job thay either lets me comfortably build a newer machine or eats up all my time so I don't have time to game anyway. A win-win!

[@CDNSpartan]

I have this pc and it works great. I5 2500, 4GB of ram, GT 1030, 500GB WD blue SSD, and a 1TB WD blue HDD. Runs GTA V, Just Cause 3, Watch_Dogs 2, Doom 2016, and many other games great on the default settings the game picks. So it ranges from low to high at 1080P with the exception of WD2 it defaults to my 1280x1024 monitor. I upgraded from a HP DC7800 which has a core 2 duo (don't remember the exact version) 160GB HDD, 5GB of DDR2 ram and a 1GB Radeon 5450 that pc is now my XP rig.

[@CoalCoalJames]

LOL. I just brought one of these as a backup PC and this video shows up in my recommendeds, looks like I got a good deal because mine came with a Core i5 pro, 4GB ram and 300GB HD and Win 10 Pro for under 60 pounds. After seeing this I will put a budget GPU in it and use it as an Emu box to keep the kids busy =D . Cheers budget builds~

[@flamelurk]

I have an HP Elite 8300 Compaq SFF with a low profile GTX 1050 ti, an I5 3470, 10 gigs of DDR3 ram, and it can play games like Battlefield 1 at medium/high settings at 60fps. I paid 200 dollars getting it, and I wasn’t even aware of the entire budget community that love these things.

[@flucazade]

I reckon we you need a timelapse shed roof camera for some epic drying scenes!

[@walterlegere1403]

Purchased in Feb 2019, HP 800 G1 SFF with Core i5-4570, 8GB RAM, 500GB HD, USB 3.0, PCIE 3.0 (after BIOS upgrade) for $123.00 free shipping of E-Bay. System was perfect and clean. Over the past few months it has been maxed with a Core i7-4790 @ 3.6GHz, 32GB 1600MHz DDR3 RAM, 120GB SSD drive, 1TB Storage drive, MSI GTX-1050Ti w/4GB RAM, 1200GBs WIFI add-on card all for a shade less than $425 or so. I'm using a 40 inch 1080p smart TV as a monitor that I got for free because the base was broken. It's stable, quiet and blazing fast. Anywhere from 60 to 90 FPS on high setting in 1080p no problem in almost every game I've run on it and the 5G wifi card makes on-line gaming almost completely seamless. My next acquisition will be an Intel 7th Gen system when the prices come down a bit more. they are $300 to $400 right now on e-bay.

[@justanotherpxrson]

My main gaming pc to date is a Dell Optiplex 990 with an i7 2600, 16gb of ram, and a GTX 1050 Ti

[@ghart56]

dude, like the way you handle those delicate electronics. instead of drying on the roof, next time try a leaf blower. i find it much more efficient. ty for the video.

[@mr_beezlebub3985]

I dig the Vice City music in this video. It's also very informative

[@acrylinlive6292]

hey thanks for he vid the fable ost in the foreground was the best part as it made me reminisce about my young years playing that game good vid!

[@samulai]

Ahh that Vice City theme... I didn't come here to feel but I left in tears

[@chrishall1976]

brilliant video i have sort of done this too. i pick up a hp pro mt 6200 with a i5-2500 in for £56 and that is with p&p too. been upgraded to 8gb of ram cost me £15 and put in a hd6800 costing £25 in and play the crew with high setting on every thing. oh and i upgraded the psu to a 750 watt unit at £10 so the whole has cost me around the £100 to built so i am happy the only thing left to go is find a cooler with a to go on the processor.

[@callumclarke3458]

Loving the Vice City theme tune during the build

[@hushix3]

Thanks for this build,I think I'll try building one myself. :-)

[@stupididiot2468]

I just recently bought an HP SFF with an i7-3770, 2x 4GB 1600MHz RAM, and a 320GB for $70NZD just after I sold my original i7-3770 on it's own for $80NZD I love these

[@sonicwingnut]

Yeah our work threw out a load of 8300s - convinced them a while back that most should just get SSD upgrades and save us a ton of money, but made a rig out of parts from the scrap bin and upgraded the shit out of it - i5-3570 @3.4Ghz with 16GB ram, added a 240GB SSD system drive, 3TB storage drive, and a GTX1050ti. Runs absolutely great, 1080/60 at ultra settings in Dark Souls 3 no problems - very low power and light too.

[@mr.kobayashi1675]

Music from Fable and Vice City. Good taste, good choice... I also have a pre-built Fuujitsu Esprimo, with Q6600 and 750Ti...

[@SantaKlausFrosty]

That oakvale music just gives me so much nostalgia.

[@thom6184]

i just started to watch all of your video's, and so far i am really enjoying it. Proper good job.

[@talos86]

My little brother have a 8100 SFF with i5 650, GT 1030, 8Gb ram and a 20" Asus 900p monitor. I gave him an SSD for performance boost, it works really nice for an 8 year old workstation.

[@stacksofslaps7442]

Man these things are more popular than I thought. My school uses dell optiplex 3200 for school computers. our old family PC were 2 dell optiplex 3200 connected together to an lg 6x8" display monitor. and other types of people use these

[@Semibytes]

Oh, that magnificent vice city music.. as always, Awesome video mate.

[@shanemintz03]

Snagged myself a Dell Optiplex 7010 Mini Tower that came with a i5 3475s, 8GBs of Ram, a 500GB Hard Drive, and Windows 10 Pro pre-installed. Costed me just about 100$. Slapped a GT 1030 in there and I've been using it ever since.

[@MarawanNezar]

5:30 GTA vice city music🎵 is in my heart 💗

[@petermbrid]

Managed to pick one of these up for free and slapped a 710 to be honest I’d say I was quite pleased with the finished product
