Optiplex 755

[P4rk3r]

Hi, My name is Park3r (not my IRL name) And i am on an old optiplex 755 and i'am waiting for parts to build new a computer. Any ideas to help me with this rig? (Also linus should do a review on a dell optiplex)

Linus would not cover an Optilex in a video (or maybe he might if some sponsor will pay him enough money to feature a business workstation with no discrete GPU as a "Gaming Computer" again, to make their product look better than what it actually is again)

But I digress. There isn't a lot you can do with an optilex 775 if you are using it for the very short term. You could buy a Xeon X5450 off Aliexpress for about $15US, but that would take a month and a half to arrive, also depending on the form factor of your particular unit, it may not even be large enough to support a half decent GPU.

I'm using one right now as well. There's not much you can do to upgrade them. I'd suggest throwing a Core 2 Quad and a 1050 Ti in, if you need something decent until you get a much better rig. What are the current specs of it?

If it's not an SFF then smack a GPU in it and you pretty much are good to go with some 1080p gaming. Just a few months ago I got an old HP Compaq 6000 from work cuz the motherboard was broken. Bought new one for 15 euro smacked a 750Ti in it and now my girlfriend have a temporary "gaming" PC  No, really! Pretty comfortable 1080p experience
