I have one sitting on my desk that I have not yet given up on and the Power on Hours are somewhere around 40,000. Good performance with it.Īs to your drives, well the Seagate 3100528AS dates from 2012(it should have 7200.12 on the white label somewhere). I would suggest looking for a GTX 750 as it isn't THAT expensive and it should fit in the power envelope of your PSU. Yes you would need better graphics than either of those current boards can supply. You could put the RAM from the ASUS into the Opti and see how well it runs like that. RAM speed is not really important here either as the network speed is the limiting factor and the board has a 1 Gbps NIC so this would the the bottleneck. Which has 4 SATA ports and would be fine for this purpose. The board in this system is likely this one: The AMD could be repurposed for a server to back up to and/or file serving. I love how you formatted and gave all this info so that we the dweeby nerds here may slather and drool over things until the cows come home. So unless you know any reason I shouldn't stick with trying to upgrade the optiplex, should I look to upgrade the RAM, Graphics card, or HDD-to-SSD, in what order? Any recommendations on which graphics card to look at for this sort of build? Appreciate any advice! I'd like to use both monitors on one setup, but the Dell has only one video port out until expanded. Stick with the Dell case unless I need the space, then use the CoolerMaster? Stick with the Dell PSU unless I need more power, then use the Corsair? Get an SSD for holding Windows and Programs? Get a graphics card compatible with the Dell board?ĥ00GB Western Digital WDC WD5000BPKT-00PK4T0 (2015?) Getting 1-3 more 4GB DDR3, or getting 2x8GB DDR3Ģ943MB ATI Radeon 3000 Graphics (ASUStek, imbedded) To that end, I'm listing what I've got assembled and laying around, what I think I should look at, and hoping to get some advice on how I should prioritize what parts to purchase in my next $100, $200, or $300 of budget. Over time, I've picked up some spare parts (hand-me-downs) and surplus builds (an Optiplex this past week), so I think it's now time I get my rig set right. That didn't bother me much until my PC crashed trying to run some lightly-modded MineCraft with friends a few weeks ago. I've used an Asus Essentio series PC for the past 7 years for school, but I didn't really game with it because it struggled to run anything I couldn't already play on a console. I've repaired laptops plenty at a helpdesk, but never got into replacing my own parts until recently.
