Compatibility

[Rhythm8503]

This is a RePost from "Hybrid Drives" I feel it should be here since we finished the subject over there. 

 

Dell Dimension E510: 

 

MotherBoard: RD203

CPU: Intel Pentium D 945 ( 3.4GHZ Dual Core, 2 Thread, 800Mhz Bus Speed )

RAM: 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) 2Rx4 240-Pin 1.8V ECC FBDIMM Fully Buffered Memory by NEMIX RAM

Storage: Seagate Barracuda 2 TB Internal HDD - 3.5" - ST2000DM006 - SATA 6Gb/s - 7,200 rpm

Case: Dell Dimension E510 

Power Supply: 305W

 

Now as a first-timer, will all of this stuff together work and make an old but decently powerful gaming PC?

Decently powerful by what metric? What exactly do you intend to play on this?

CSGO, TF2, WarFace, FNAF 6, 7, Unreal Engine, Minecraft, War Robots, Tanki X, others.

Well, you might be able to launch half of these titles. As for playing any games, good luck with any of that. While compatible, these parts are trash for a gaming PC.

Either post a WTB (want to buy) in the classifieds:

or use something off Amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/Vostro-Desktop-Computer-Certified-Refurbished/dp/B07G6RDZ1N/ref=sr_1_29?ie=UTF8&qid=1534994343&sr=8-29&keywords=refurbished+PC+core+i5+6400

the amazon link might be a little rich for your blood but it's very upgradeable, and I recommend not locking yourself onto an old platform with a shoestring budget. It's money well spent.

 

edit: this might be good too. Still old, but leagues better than what you wanted to put together.
