I Recently got this dell for Christmas last year. My dad told me he got this dell for $550 because dell sent him a nice big discount code, usually this dell was selling for $1050 on dells website at the time (what a scam at that price). This dell had an Intel i7-6400, 16 Gigs of DDR3L (Not DDR3L), 2 tb hard drive at 7500 rpm (Didn't improve boot times), an AMD R9 360 (not R7 360) OEM and glorious 240 watts of juice. I had a choice between this dell and an asus "gaming PC" that had an i5-6400 and an gtx 950, so I picked the dell because who couldn't resist owning an i7?. The PC came with windows 7 pro pre-installed which ran smooth on this dell but later down the line I installed windows 10 pro. The dell shipped with a windows 10 pro disc, but it was a bad copy. that copy thought i always had windows 10 installed even if my hard drive was clean. I downloaded a image copy of windows 10 pro from dell's support page and installed on my 64 GB flash drive and to my surprise it actually wanted to install windows 10 on my hard drive. When I was finished installing the windows 10 pro and booted to it. The PC ran a-lot slower, I call bull if anybody says that this OS is faster than windows 7. I installed my games on windows 10, I couldn't notice if my games ran a little slower. The AMD r9 360 ran my games at medium to high settings. Every time my video card was running games or something heavy, my power supply would literally make a wining noise, I always thought that sound came from my video card. I had no trouble surfing the web. I had 3 monitors hooked up and try'ed to use the AMD eyefinity software and most of the time it would crash. Yes I reinstalled the driver many times. The AMD Software allowed me to "overclock" this card and If I bumped 1 MHz on this slider the card would slow down badly. Gaming with 3 monitors was fun and it worked when the software wanted to. For the past 5 months I noticed some screen tearing while playing, I didn't care if the card did that because the fps was stable and never dropped. I recently upgraded the dell, my dad got me an PNY gtx 1050. When I went to install it ,it wouldn't fit so my dad had to rip of the entire bracket and long to be hold the card fits. I didn't care if the bracket was gone as long as the card works. The motherboard was holding the card in place and the card was sagging. so I grabbed some tape and taped a part of the card to the dell and it stayed in place. When I played games with this card everything ran a lot better I can run beam-ng on 3 monitors on the highest settings, it was amazing. I wish this dell came with this card in the first place. The card delivered more performance for less watts, I never hear my power supply wine. The nvidia control panel was stable and every time I wanted to playing games on 3 monitors I fire up nvidia surround, select my displays and apply those changes. The nvidia control panel never crashes unlike the amd software. I overclocked the gtx 1050 and i got a 1 fps improvement in the heaven benchmark I was surprised that the card didn't slow down. If you can find this dell and other inspiron models for cheap, go for it. Go on dell's website and find the "best" dell inspiration, it comes with an intel i7 7770 and an gtx 750 ti. They want $1050 for it! what a pile of garbage! if you want a dell inspiron only buy them when there super cheap.My first review described other minor features about this dell.

i ran beam-ng at high settings at 1080p without any issues. i get around 53 fps on average

this card is not overclock able. i did a test to see if the system was stable, and it passed. no crashes at all

i didn't download gta 5, installed gta 5 from 7 discs. i don't have geforce experience because i got an amd card. i would never use driver software to optimize my games

I recently ran into a problem on windows 10. Every time i start up gta 5, the screen turns black and the whole pc locks up. I can tell that the pc locked up by pressing the number lock key. this problem did rarely happen on windows 7. i did research about this problem, and all i found was people having crashes when in the middle of game not when it started up. i reinstalled the display driver and that didn't help. i tried running the game in compatibility mode to act like it was running in windows 7, but the game even would crash even more. compatibility mode usually solves that I had with older programs like gta san andreas. i was wondering if somebody could help me with this problem.

dell over prices there computers these days, you'll have to be lucky to find a dell computer for a good price

I got this dell for Christmas, i was excited. i hooked it up and it ran like a dream. this computer is one of the last OEM computers that comes with windows 7. This model came with 16 GB of memory (DDR3), an Intel i7 6700 (not k), AMD Radeon HD R9 360 (2GB gddr5) (similar to Radeon R7 360), Dell motherboard with bulit-in WiFi and Bluetooth, 2TB 7200 RPM Segate Hard Drive, and a cheap laptop disk drive that forgets whats inside of it after a few minutes. i'll start with the os, it came with windows 7 pro, it booted in 15 seconds for a few days. dell gave me a copy windows 10 pro on disc if i wanted to upgrade. the video card is pretty good, it ran games on high settings without dropping to 40 fps. the first few days with the pc, the videocard made a heavy grinding sound but it went away. if your worried about temps, then you may need fan control from msi afterburner. i tried overclocking this puppy, but it never reached the higher MHz, i think the amd software doesn't want me to unofficially overclock. i dont know what to say about the i7, it never slowed down. yes this pc can handle 1080p 60fps youtube videos without temps getting hot. the videocard always gets hotter then the i7, but the i7 has a small cooler then the video-card. if you want to add a 2nd hard drive or disk drive, well you cant, unless you buy a new power suppy. the hard drive and disk drive run power from the motherboard, i find no other connectors on the power supply. the disk drive feels super fragile, you have to use both hands to insert a disk or you'll feel like your breaking the drive or bending the disc. if i played a movie then paused for a few minutes, the disk drive forgets what disc is inside of it. windows would always say "please insert a disc". to make the disk drive not forget, you have to make the disk drive active. it took 10 minutes for my pc to find the driver for the dell keyboard that came with the pc. the driver wasn't on dells website. you could only get through windows updates and at the time, windows updates was frozen. the hard disk was fast, i did research on these 7200 rpm hard drives, they say this hard drives are great for programs and operating systems but not great for storing large files. the pc came with 5.1 audio but you have to use the mic in and line in ports as rear speaker and sub-woofer/center ports. the maxxaudio manager made the speakers sound alot better, this was dell's custom version of realtek. if you have more than 1 monitor, the computer doesn't know which monitor is the primary and duplicates the image on all screens, if you boot into windows, then the screens become different. this computer was designed for people who want a powerful gaming pc in a compact case. in august my dad got this for $550 on the official dell website, he said he got a Hugh discount from the rewards program that he sign'ed up for. now this runs from $899 to $1199 on dells website. the prices change fast on this. if you want the amd videocard, you can find these cards on ebay for $70, used. the videocard gets power from the motherboard. im not sponsored by dell pc link: http://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/productdetails/inspiron-3650-desktop/ddclot223b amd r9 360 2gb: goo.gl/NXvYwu amd r9 360 2gb specs: https://goo.gl/yCvDcR (click on 300 series) "view basic info" page: http://i.imgur.com/lY74pmJ.png windows experience index score: http://i.imgur.com/HcX14f4.png
