gaming pc need help

[Mitchell R]

Me and a friend have found Dell optiplex 9020's with i7 4770s in them (Small form factor case). I was wondering if i can put in a gtx970 and use it as a gaming pc. Is there anything I would have to do to get it to work properly? I live in a Australia and would like to spend most of my budget on the gpu (Not including PC itself). Not interested in looks, if it works it works

I think you are really going to struggle, from memory you need low profile GPU cards for SFF and even then it's very specific.

I could maybe use another case? Other than that are there any solutions?

I would ask dell if it needs a BIOS update to support it.

I never thought of that, thanks

Yes a larger case could work, but it's a fair bit of mucking around and may not be worth it.

It's simply not a gaming rig, the bother to make it a reasonable gaming rig may be to much.
