Looking for the best optiplex builds. I'm going to build one soon myself. All posts will be liked :)(Unless they are unrelated ofc). Post em below with specs and pictures(if possible!). This should also be helpful to other gamers who are looking for cheap and good performance rigs.

Thank you everyone for helping me out I think I got my problem solved.

Ok thank you! I will look into it more.

Dang this thing looks exactly like what I might build. What model of gtx 760 do you have?

My computer comes with windows 10. If I were to get a new os how do you suggest I do so?

Thanks to all who have helped me so far. Sorry if I'm not the techiest dude out there

The thing is, the only thing I want from the old hhd is the os. Everything else can go since its a used pc and the files will probably be no use to me.

Yeah, I think I will settle with a 120gb kingston ssd. The macrium reflect should work with the ssd and the hhd in the dell optiplex correct?

Do you think NVME is an option for these older computers?

I am going to upgrade a250gb hhd to an ssd in a Dell Optiplex 790. I am debating on whether to upgrade the ssd for faster boot times only, where I would buy an ssd with a capacity of around 120gb, or for general use, in which I would buy a larger capacity like a 240gb or 500gb. I also am wondering on how I would transfer my os from the HHD to my SSD as when I buy the optiplex it would come with windows 10 installed on the HHD. Any help would be appreiciated. Thanks!

Ok thank you so much man. You might have saved me some $$.

If I use a gpu that does not require a new power supply, I can go for a higher performance(higher pricepoint) gpu. are there any that don't require a new psu but provide better performance?

Tysm both gpus would work without bottleneck correct?

If I use an older gpu like a gtx 760 I can still run games like overwatch and rocket league with ease correct?

How would you do that?

I will buy a 500w 80+ bronze EVGA so that is covered

I'm currently looking to buy a gpu for my dell Optiplex 790. I'm not sure which ones would fit dimensions wise but I have a few that I am looking at rn. I also want to know if they would bottleneck my cpu, which is an i5-2400 4 core 3.1ghz, 3.4ghz turbo. Below I have attached as well as the dell optiplex 790 I am going to purchase as well as the 2 gpus I am looking to buy. If anyone can help me out I'd really appreciate it.

Wouldn't that bottleneck the cpu though? Its an i5-2400 @ 3.1ghz 3.4 Turbo

Thank you

Tysm for the answers guys helped me out alot.

Looking to build a new work/gaming station for a friend. Anyone have any suggestions after what I've got so far? Links to the items are below, looking for any better gpus at same price point or anything else anyone would recommend upgrading in the Optiplex 790. trying to stay below 250$. I am currently at 190$ https://www.ebay.com/itm/EVGA-04G-P4-2768-KR-GeForce-GTX-760-4GB-PCI-Express-HDMI-DVI-Graphics-Card/123919944632 https://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-OptiPlex-790-Core-i5-2400-3-10GHz-4GB-250GB-HDD-Mid-Tower-Windows-10-Pro/184000346017

Sorry, I'm not the techiest person and I still misunderstand. Does anyone know if any of these 2 ram sets would work with an i5-2400?(The motherboard has 4 slots)

I am assuming it means the CPU can only use 2 ram sticks at the same time, but would that mean installing 4 sticks of 4gb ram will only be used to the extent of 2x 4gb ram? What I want to know is if I install 4 sticks of ram adding up to a total of 16gb of ram, would I be able to use all ram at the same time?
