I'm lucky enough to have a pretty powerful and modern PC, but like a lot of folks I very much prefer watching builds that have a smaller budget, are a bit lower spec and often have used parts. I think it's partly because my very first PC build was done on a budget with used parts, and I have fond memories of that machine because of what it taught me and the joy that came with it. But also it's just much more interesting - you have to use your head a bit more putting together a system on a budget, and there's generally more problem-solving to be done especially with modifying things like an Optiplex, but it can be so much more satisfying in the end. A few years ago I upgraded an SFF Optiplex with a GTX 1050 and SSD for my friend to use 'temporarily' after their gaming PC died. Worked so well they were using it right up until they upgraded this year 😅

I tried a combination of i5 4440 + GTX 1070 it was really good. Processor power went to the i7 by 8.56%. In addition to the old GEN PCI-E on the mother board + CPU bottleneck.

The 4790 was released in Q2 of 2014. It's end cycle was 7/14/2017.

You can perform a fairly simple bios modification to this system that will allow you to boot from NVME storage. The 4x PCIe slot is an older generation than the 16x slot, and the 4x slot will bottleneck the NVME to about 1500 mb/s. It is still a fantastic upgrade that makes the system really snappy and improves load times. Do a web search to find the instructions.

Videos like this are a great sanity check for people, like me, who spend a lot of time in tech-enthusiast communities. It's easy to get caught up in the hype about the latest and greatest, but you can still do quite well with very modest hardware. In fact I would say that newer hardware loses value, gaming wise, with each new iteration--because the number of games out there today will always dwarf the number of new games made between today and the next new GPU. In other words, I can play just about every game ever made on my current hardware, probably 20 lifetimes worth of good games. The next new hardware upgrade will only allow me, at best, to play a few dozen more. I probably wouldn't buy this rig, because I hate Dell's proprietary cases/motherboards, but the perf/dollar is amazing.

That graphics card looks stunning! Kinda Sega Genesis/Mega Drive style

I recently bought one of these optiplexes souped up by Skytech USA LLC. Mine had an i7 4770, 1660 Super, 16gb ddr3, 256GBSSD+3TBHDD, WITH Kb&M. It cost 336 shipped before taxes. Not bad in my opinion. I've already got a 3800X 16GBddr4 rig as my main system, so I'll be using it to replace my bulldozer HTPC.

As long as you don't stress it it'll probably be fine for years. The trick with cheap PSUs is to ignore the claimed power rating and just calculate the total from the 12V rail (the main brands use this as their power rating where the cheaper brands add all the rail outputs and use the total) then make sure you've got a 10% or more on top as an overhead. Most of the horror stories come from people either mistaking the power ratings due to the manufacturing rating difference or pushing their supplies expecting a 40 quid unit to be as robust as a main brand 80 quid unit. I myself have been using a boggo standard 600W Corsair bronze non-modular (so really basic) PSU for 9 years which has never been run to it's full 600W rated output over 2 platforms, 5 CPUs and 3 GPUs and when I open it to clean it (do not do this if you don't know about the dangers, the capacitors can hold a hell of a charge for a long time after it's been switched off and they need to be drained fully before servicing) it's still like new inside.

$500-$600 build could be very respectable if due diligence looking for deals. Would be a good series of videos from getting components to them build and testing. Always entertaining to watch those type of videos, IMO. Could break it up into a three parter or something, like a documentary on the entire process. Good video, although I may have gone a few generations newer on a few components.

Great budget build gaming PC. My plan is to get a PC system that support the newer DDR 4 memory because anything older will be a hold back on experiencing decent performance.

i have i7 4790, gtx 1080, 8gb ram and some 400$ psu i got for free lol

My last two builds have used that brand power supply, both optiplexes, and have worked great. GTX 970s are good gpu too.

I have a setup similar to that one, with a 4790 processor and a 6GB 1060 graphics card. Recently, I purchased a 1080. While I don't anticipate a significant performance leap due to the processor, I'm still hopeful for improved performance.

the moment of feeling old when you see 1080 is a budget PC component

This kind of build would really be ideal for building arcade cabinets running mame. I've always wanted to build one.

Can the rear I/O shield be removed on your case? I like to build sleepers, and am now interested in that model.

@@zeroturn7091 yes it can be removed, I once transferred all the components to a different pc case.

I just picked up an Optiplex 7010 on the side of the road in a garbage pile. i7, 12 gig of ram, noname video card, and no drive sleds. Had to remove the motherboard to get a replacement powersupply in as all I had was a 1k watt and that black lever at the top of the case was in the way. Once MB was out it slid right in. Luckily this MB has a standard ATX powersupply connector so didn't need the adaptor. Installed an old r390 video card, 3D printed the HD sleds, old 1.5T HD. Windows 10 install even took the old Win8 product key on the case. My new streaming system running 4 webcams, usb mic, 2 usb video encoders, plenty of plugins and scripts. Total cost= $0.

Ive got a similar era precision t1650, only difference is the front of the case, and its got a xeon, but, it will take a standard 24 pin psu, so no adapters needed, I popped my old corsair tx650 in and currently have a 1060 in it, but when I first got it it had my old r9 285 in it.

Great video, I recently built PCs with a similar GPU but a 6 core i5-8400 & i5-9400. Obviously cost a bit more, but your optiplex upgrade is great for someone on a budget. Do you have any videos on the emulation software you use, I would love to play some old playstation games on my PC ?
