Require help for a massive upgrade to my Dell Optiplex 390 SFF

***Please don't move or delete this***

Anyways, I'm looking to upgrade my Dell Optiplex 390 SFF. Below are the following specifications:

MOBO: 0F6X5P A00
Chipset: Sandy Bridge Rev 09
Southbridge: H61 Rev B2
Bios Version: A14
Socket 1155 LGA
Supports DDR3 RAM at 1333 MHz
Supports 1 3.5" Hard Drive SATA 2.0

I'm looking to upgrade to the following:

1x 2 TB 3.5" Hard Drive 7200
2x 8 GB RAM Sticks at 1,600 MHz (which I assume will downgrade to 1,333 MHz, but I believe they should be compatible, right?)
1x Intel Core i7 2600

This should be compatible with the socket. I have also updated the BIOS to the most recent version. So it should technically work. Yes, I know that the most recent processor that Dell has tested was the i5 2400, but others that they haven't tested have worked.

If the i7 2600 doesn't work than the following will have to do

1x Intel Core i5 2500k or Intel Core i5 2400

1x Geforce 1030 2 GB, Geforce 750 TI 2 GB, or Geforce 1050 TI 4 GB

Any of the above video cards are fine with me.

Is there any particular reason that any of the components above would not be compatible with the MOBO? That is all the information that I can think of from the top of my head, if there is anything that I left out, please let me know.

Thanks USARet

This is what OP sent me:

Southbridge: Intel H61 B2
BIOS: Brand Dell
Version: A14
Sandy Bridge Socket 1155 LGA
Power Supply of 240 Watts

Here is what I was looking to upgrade to:

1x Intel Core i7 2600

Yes, I know that Dell says that only the i5 2400 works, but they never tested other CPU's that were released after that, which is why other Dell Optiplex towers have been shown to work with an i7 or i5. However, I'm not sure if those were different MOBO than the one I have.

If the Intel Core i7 2600 doesn't work, would an Intel Core i5 2500k be functional?

2x 8 GB RAM at 1600 MHz.

This should theoretically be compatible, right? The 1600 MHZ DDR3 RAM would downgrade to 1333 MHZ by default, correct?

1x 2TB 3.5" Sata HDD and 1x 256 GB SSD

Would it be possible to upgrade to a 2 TB HDD and a 256 GB SSD? I don't think a 2 TB HDD existed when this MOBO was released, so it would have been impossible for Dell to have tried.


Now, would any of these components not be functional with my machine for any reason?

CPU upgrade.
The most what I see is i7 2500 http://www.userbenchmark.com/System/Dell-OptiPlex-390/1958
Would 2500K or 2600 or 2600K work - I have no idea, and most likly no one here does, unless someone has confirmation regarding this.

Officially Dell supports only i5 2400. You already have latest BIOS A14, so nothing more can be done here.

Max memory, according to Crucial and Dell is 8GB DDR3, 1333MHz, faster memory will downgrade to 1333MHz.
Crucial memory http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/compatible-upgrade-for/Dell/optiplex-390-small-form-factor

There is one thing to save money, your original memory might still be available on Amazon, it will be cheaper than Crucial and most compatible.

To find out what you have you will need CPUZ once installed, open SPD and Memory TABs, snap pictures and post it here.

Now if you want more RAM. It depends, will look for any confirmations first.

I still question that result http://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/10102177

If it is true, you almost good to go. Maybe I am missing something, need more time.
