I hear you, Thanks man and best of luck to you.

Hello again, I wanted to know what you thought about me getting an optiplex 3020 motherboard for $16 and a i5-4570 for $40 for a total of $65! then I could transfer over ram, hdd and ssd, dvd drive, and get a new psu $50, a new $50 RGB case, and a $130 RX570 card for a little over $200? what's...

Thanks for the advice. I completely agree with the whole saving money concept. I've been making cash by mowing a few lawns and last year I made quiet a lot. as far as the cheap CPU upgrade for now, I'll look into it. I have one last question. I've been on amazon off and on today and have found...

Thanks so much! It's clear now that I'm not really going to go anyway with the 780 SFF. So what I'll do is keep searching for good deals, maybe get an i5 machine pop a RX570 into it and get it a cool case and bam, good as new. For now I'm going to overclock my Q6600 and use it until the new pc...

Can you share a link to some systems you had in mind? I know that some an i5 2600 goes for around $130 us dollars on ebay. But then i'd have to upgrade it's psu, graphics, and then be done around $300 plus dollars. right now I'm just exploring my options.

Thanks, However I'm not sure about my system running that slow. this guy got great performance and fps with a Q9650: View: https://youtu.be/88Z9yIxCMms of course he overclocked to 4.2ghz. Also keep in mind that my system uses ddr3 ram and I've had no problems with minecraft java edition. I'm...

Thanks everyone for the help! While I know that I could just easily upgrade my system to anything other then the 780 SFF, I'm trying to get it under $300. So I'd like to find a good upgrade to achieve my goal that won't be too much. Can you tell me how to do the overclock, and explain the...

Hello All, I was curious about how I might be able to push the most performance out of an optiplex 780 SFF for gaming, specifically for the game STAR WARS BATTLEFRONT II. Currently I've got a Q6600 and a gt 710 1gb vram card with 10gb ram. Gaming with this is, well not the best as you might...

Thanks for your help! Would amazon pay work on this website or a visa card maybe? Just asking in case this offer is still up when I finally buy the i7. Also, will I able to find deals like this year round? I don´t exactly know yet when I will be able to make the purchase. I´m just looking into...

Hello All, I'm looking into buying a budget gaming PC in the near future. I've been hearing different things online about upgrading a optiplex 390 with an i7. I wanted to confirm that if I were to pick up an optiplex 390 and an i7 for under 130 bucks that It would actually work. I think a bios...

I found this on ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/USED-Dell-OptiPlex-790-MT-Desktop-PC-Intel-Core-i5-2400-3-10-4GB-RAM-NO-HDD-OS/183353468838?hash=item2ab0b7e7a6:m:mXS2jjIIeaTc3B0R-7MqycQ:sc:FedExHomeDelivery!63021!US!-1 Is it a scam? I haven't seen anything this decent sell for 69 bucks before

Okay, I'll see about an i5 system online. I've seen some good deals. I just was hoping that I could keep using my sff. but as it turns out, it's becoming more and more obvious I should look into an upgrade. That way I could get a 1050 ti or better, a better psu if need be, and I'll not need to...

Well, I found this guy online who ran the game with a Q9650 and I was impressed. you can check it out here: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88Z9yIxCMms . But he was overclocking, so I bet that would look different for me. He is, however, using a capable GPU. I've seen videos of the game...

I think I've made up my mind to upgrade my CPU to a Q9650 3.0ghz and to purchase the 1030GT. What should I expect performance to be like for SWBF2 and is it a good idea to upgrade my CPU or will performance be close to the same?

Alright, Thanks again (again) for all your help. much appreciated. I think that this card: https://www.amazon.com/MSI-GTX-1050-TI-4GT/dp/B01N2W8MJ9/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=1050+ti+low+profile&qid=1582744706&sr=8-1 should work in my system. What do you think? I'll do some measurements later, to see...
