Hello thanks for taking the time.
So I received a free relatively weak gaming pc a while ago that I've been trying to upgrade I'll give you the specs and based on my questions I'll give more info if needed.
Current build
A10-6700
Gtx 1050ti
12 gb ddr3 (8+4)
Msi 2ae0 fm2+
2 tb hdd
650w psu
My cpu and mobo are awful so I was thinking of buying a dell optiplex mini tower either 7010 or 9010 with either an i5 3470 or i7 3770 respectively and transferring my usable parts from my current build to this new one so I can still utilize my psu, ram, hdd, and gpu I'm hoping.
A couple questions on the move:
1) is this feasible? Anyone see any issue with what I'm trying to accomplish until I can afford a more modern gaming rig?
2) should I opt for the i5 or i7 as I've found a close deal of the two. (More on the pricing in a minute) and will the i7 grant much more performance from my 1050ti?
3) Now I was looking at Amazon but I've found a seemily better deal elsewhere

Not sure if anyone has used or heard of this site but I'm liking the look of the price but don't wanna be screwed over.
Thanks for any advice and if anyone has a better idea in mind for me in that price point for now I'm open to anything. Roughly $350 max price but I want the best deal possible as I'm gaming on a 900p monitor and am looking to upgrade that as well. Games: kingdom come deliverance, pubg, overwatch, total war warhamer2, subnautica.
Thank you!
