    I had a refurbished HP with an i5 2500 that I put a 1050ti in and for the most part it was a super trooper. It is still in use. I sold it to someone who uses it for basic surfing and watching movies, minus the 1050ti that I sold for more than I paid for because.. everyone knows why. I put a GT610 in it before I sold it because I knew the guy wouldn't be gaming and I'd never sell a GT610 to a gamer unless I really really hated them.

    Yeah, I've got a similar Dell system (3020, SFF) and I have a Quadro P620 in it. Great little graphics cards - low profile, single slot, and pretty capable. Also still fairly reasonable on eBay. Not sure why KZreadrs who do these sorts of builds don't have that as a go to card. The P620 is approximately the same as a GTX1050, and the P1000 is approximately a GTX1050 Ti (comparisons are a inexact). There's actually a low profile, single slot variant of the GTX 1050 in existence. But its from some weird Chinese company, only available from rather sketchy websites, and rather pricey for what it is. And yes, its a legit GTX 1050, not one of these reflashed fake cards.

    I did something kinda similar with an HP Slimline of about the same vintage. I believe all of those slim PC’s use mini-dtx so use can use a mini-itx board, which is what I did. I then got a higher power Flex-ATX or similar power supply, Ryzen 1600af(when they were $100 or less), b450 board, 3600 speed ram, and a GTX1650 half height card. It’s a surprisingly capable machine!

    Honestly as much as I dunk on bad deals from the corpos for the performance, you really don't actually need it mostly because the average gamer is only playing 1080p, and a substantial number of people are still playing on 900p's or even 768p monitors which barely even need anything. You can even use such a complete piece of shit card as a 75w RX 550 and still be able to make most games playable on medium to low settings 1366x768 (but then why even would you at this point lol you can get better out of an iGPU afaik). So all that stated, yeah I'd still recommend that kids on a budget or younger folks in poverty mode (or hell old people on a fixed income) to look at old office machines and just know a little about them and you can still sometimes find a worthwhile deal. Like if you can get basically a 2500k or even an i7 3570 in an old office machine with the RAM, power supply all other stuff included for 100 bucks then go for it. I've seen some pretty decent mobos out there coming complete with a 4x4 or 2x8gb RAM kits and installed 3570k or 3770 in a z77 board on ebay for only like $150, which are clearly built and used by enthusiasts and some of these have CPUs that can easily be overclocked. The only thing I'd distrust is power supplies, but honestly the PSU is the only part of a Dell that's actually really good for some reason (maybe because as supplying major corporate interests, they know it not catching on fire or dying 2 years later is the one thing they can't get away with). So I'd encourage people to learn about the hardware and look into either that, or trying to cost compare to 12100f or 10300 or whatever systems on a really cheap board and cheap everything else with a used GPU, which I think should still come under $500 pretty easily. With an old repurposed office machine, often you can get away with only needing to buy the GPU, and a cheaper old one like a 970 or RX 470 or 270x or 980 or something like that shouldn't bottleneck while still being able to play most games on medium to high 1080p 60, depending which card. The only drawback is Dell boards are a complete piece of shit as you can see, and that includes the fact their BIOS is as awful as VRMs so there's no way to do overclocking.

    2600k and 3770k perform almost identical because 3770k is limited by thermal overhead while the 2600k is soldered and cools a little easier, allowing it to catch up via an overclock The 3770k simply doesn't overclock well enough to make it up, the 2600k matches and even exceeds the 3770k depending on how well the 2600k clocks

    ALWAYS make sure the grounds of the two PSUs are directly connected. You can very easily break when connecting two power supplies. Usually, the two using the same ground on the wall socket is good enough, but better safe than sorry. If your wall sockets happen to don't have a ground pin, its very important to interconnect that manually!

The reason I'm leaving a comment is that in 2011 I built a system with that very processor! Asus motherboard, a screaming 8gb of DDR3, and a WD Raptor HDD. Originally I had it paired with a Sapphire Radeon card, but in 2014(?) I "refreshed" it with a deep cleaning, a sata SSD, and an Nvidia 1050Ti that i bought for... about what you paid for this Acer. It was a speedy, breezy little computer, and I think it's still down in the basement.

Sips power, you can actually game on it, and does all of my server hosting and streaming needs! And it was 50 bucks. I bought another one for my uncle, threw in an 2 GB Radeon r7 250 instead of the Nvidia Quadro, and he uses it for his old games after I installed Windows 10 32 bit on it, It never gives him any problems, and he's happy with it for years!

On paper they sound pretty powerful as the G34 CPUs available were good server units and are 8/16 core at reasonable speeds (>2.0ghz). The boards look pretty dicey, but you seem to be the King of Dicey PC Stuff and I thought it might be interesting to build a gamer out of a server CPU. Good video Dawid!
