Dell 790 Ultra Small Form Factor

[mhmad.abd.20032]

I have Dell 790 Ultra Small Form Factor Which graphic card will fit? GT 1030 would fit?
I have I3 2120 3,3 GHZ 4GB Ram ddr3

NO, an ULTRA form factor doesn't have the expansion slot, the small form factor does.

Considering your cpu - any gtx10 vga up to gtx 1050 ti would be okay, depends on your budget and installed psu. But you don't have a possibility to put it in your case ( https://youtu.be/5u7iNLVHBDs ), so nothing would fit.

According to this data sheet (page 10), the only expansion options on the 790 USFF are the memory slots, and a mini-PCIe slot which is probably used by a WiFi card.

If you don't need WiFi, you can buy an adapter which will convert the mini-PCIe slot into a full size PCIe slot that you can plug a graphics card into. But it'll be ugly and delicate, and depending on how many PCIe lanes the slot supports you may not get much performance. Most of these WiFi mini-PCIe slots only have 1 or 2 PCIe lanes, though I have heard of a few which are x4. You'll need an external power source too in order to get the whole thing working (look into PicoPSUs).

Frankly, given the age of the processor and the fact that it's just an i3, I'd suggest buying a new system if you want to add a decent graphics card.

 

[mhmad.abd.20032]

Well, Can i Upgrade or change my intel core i3 to Amd a10 7800? Since it has better graphics

 

[rustech]

No, you cannot. Amd cpu has a different socket, it's physically impossible to put amd cpu in Intel socket.

 

[mhmad.abd.20032]

I have old pc, intel core 2 dou and 3 ram can i just remove all thing from it and then put my new pc on it and just replace em or smth like that . The parts like ram and processor and the hdd

 

[mhmad.abd.20032]

And its 500w

 

[rustech]

I think your old pc might be not worse your dell pc. Tell us models of parts of your old pc: motherboard, psu, cpu, vga.

 

[mhmad.abd.20032]

Idk but its very old one... i want help tf i just want to put a graphic card or anything i would do to play good games with good fps like fortnite and gta v

You'd need a new motherboard as well. Sandy Bridge uses a different socket from Core 2. The RAM is probably DDR2 (for a Core 2 system), so wouldn't be usable with your i3 (DDR3). Basically, the only things you'd be able to salvage from your old PC are the case, power supply, and possibly the drives if they're SATA.

Sandy Bridge came out in 2011. 7 years is a good run for a PC. I'm recommending most casual users upgrade their PC every 5-8 years now. Try the Dell outlet website. Refurbished i3 systems regularly show up there for less than $300, refurb i5s (quad core) for less than $400. Keep an eye out for 8th gen i3s, which are now quad cores, and whose integrated graphics is not that far off from the 1030 you're considering.

250 Gb
Power supply 200w
And when i knew it doesnt have a graphic card and i think i can replace some specs from my new pc to my old pc
Old pc: intel core 2 dou
3gb ram ddr2
And it has power supply 500w
And I just want to put a graphic card and play good games with high fps
Any choises on what to do?

You want to do what? I don't understand your question?

I just want to put a graphic card and play good games with high fps

You have a USFF. You aren't adding a GPU and playing anything. The case is much to small to hold one.

I just want to put a graphic card and play good games with high fps

Well you can't with that system. It's an usff those are meant to be tiny desk workstations without a gpu.
Your core 2 system is way too old to play todays games.

All the advice I can give you is to get a completly new system and just sell the i3 system. You'll most likely get about 100$ for it.

You bought the wrong thing if you want to play games on it.

No guys you didnt understand me, i meant like can i buy new motherboard to the old pc and replace my intel core 2 processor to the intel core i3, Ram ddr3 and the hard drive? And then i can buy graphic card and use it

They are all old systems. Do you want to spend money on stuff that is 5 generations old?

 

[mhmad.abd.20032]

Just a motherboard though?

 

[jaslion]

Just a motherboard though?

The problem here is that to get a cheap motherboard you are already 60$ in. Your psu is most likely absolute crap in the core 2 system so I would not use that part.

The smartest thing to do is sell the dell 790 for about 80$ and go to ebay.
There get a DELL TOWER computer with a second gen i5 or up AND 8gb of ram. These sell for around 120$
Avoid hp at all costs since they have a bunch of wierd restrictions with their psu and whatnot.

Getting a motherboard for such an old platform costs quite a bit of money and for just a low end i3 it's definatly not worth it. You'll also have a useless 790 sitting around so just selling it would be the best route to go.

 

[4745454b]

The problem with buying just a board is you are going to buy something used, and again it's many generations old. It can be done yes. But you are going to end up putting money into a very old system. If that's all the budget allows then fine. But I would honestly try to get something newer.

 

[mhmad.abd.20032]

But so what if its old generation i can still add graphic card and then i can run games perfectly, tho im not gonna use the graphic of the processor

 

[4745454b]

So what? Each generation is newer and better than the last. If you were looking at getting a 6xxx or 7xxx series CPU I wouldn't be as concerned. Again, you are talking about buying parts to get something FIVE generations old up and running. I wouldn't bother doing that.

I currently run a 3770K. I built this machine so many years ago I'm not sure when I built it. 5? 6? If the board broke and I needed to build something new, I wouldn't buy a board to get a CPU that old running. I would buy newer, so my machine can take advantage of the new things that have come up. For example, if my board broke, I would sell my 3770K, buy a 7700K and a board that supports that and reuse my DDR3 ram because ram costs so much. The crazy thing is you are talking about buying parts to get something even older than my CPU running! If you have a small budget and can't get anything newer I understand. But you haven't mentioned budget once. Why buy old parts to get an old thing up and running? Old used parts aren't what I'd be trying to get.

i can still add graphic card and then i can run games perfectly

Probably not. An old i3 from 6-8yrs ago isn't going to handle AAA games coming out now very well.

Farcry 5 says you need an i5.

https://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/requirements/battlegrounds/15571

Same with PUBG. You'd be building a system that already fails to meet the minimum requirements for games coming out.
