normal cheap build

[Meatball the man]

im thinking about geting i5 9600k  with a msi mag b365m mortar motherboard a gtx 950(200)  a 600w gold psu and corsair vengence rgb pro sl

 

my main consern is that i want to build inside of a old dell optiplex is ther gonna airflow problems 

 

also im considering a 11 gen (to take advantige of the corsair ram) but the motherbords are mildly expensive 

if i was gonna get a 11 gen i would get a i5 11400f 

my budget is 650 usd

i might just skip out on the gpu and get a 3400g but i would rather stick with intel i could also save 100 bucks and get a gtx 750 ti

There might be worse problems then airflow, dell prebuilds often use weird standards meaning stuff might not fit without modification

Which old DELL Optiplex are you going to be building in. Most of them have terrible airflow characteristics, not to mention, a non-standard layout.

Are you sure those actually support ATX PSU and motherboard?

 

Anyway, imo i would go for 10400F and a B560 board, as B560 board allows for RAM overclocks regardless of your CPU. But right now the 10400 is priced cheaper than 10400F due to demand.

This is how i would do it, with hopes that you can shove in those parts in the dell case. But if not, everyone has a secondary case.

You won't be using a ATX PSU in a 7010 mini case from looking at the case 

[Meatball the man]

It does
