Hey /g/ looking to do a budget build. Looking to buy this Optiplex

>>57739295
What budget? Cus you seriously poor if you want to buy a core 2 duo.

>>57739329
It already has that in it.

>>57739295
If you can't get it for free you're not broke enough to bother with core 2. Also, those small form factor PCs have teeny PSUs that can't support anything bigger than a GT 730. You can't even use a 750 ti.

>>57739345
I don't care nigger, tell us your budget already.

>>57739382
$300 broke as shit

>>57739359
Looks like a full-size PSU in OP's pic.
But yea you aren't running much in terms of a gpu.

>>57739402
Well check www.logicalincrements.com.
Also invest in some kneepads.

>>57739424
No, that is definitely a smaller PSU. Can't be any higher than 240w. I have several small form factor PCs and they are not gaming boxes at all.

>>57739402
You can build a first-gen i5 system for that and it will kick the Quad's ass.

So with some optimism, slapping a quad core 2 and finding a small psu and and chincy gpu, would this be an okay build?

>>57739498
No.
>Why not?
A) Those power supplies are proprietary size. You can't just go out and buy an off the shelf one. All of them are the same wattage, too - IIRC around two fiddy. Not enough for a Quad and dedicated GPU.
B) You'd need a low profile GPU. That'd be more expensive and harder to find.

I'll take time out of my day and look up some parts to build you something better than this shit. Give me a few minutes.

Get this.

Then if you need a GPU, add a GTX 1060 or 1050ti Whatever you can get for cheap

>>57739564
Also, put a HDD/SSD in this.

>>57739548
>>57739564
Im looking to see what I can do with what I already have, and while today is still cyber monday for what I can scrounge together

>>57739589
Do what >>57739564 says.

>>57739589
What do you already have?

You need to be more forthcoming with information if you want actual help.

>>57739589

You ungrateful cunt.

The only words out of your mouth should have been "thanks dude for taking the time".

Not the guy you were replying to BTW.

>>57739589
So you don't want to buy a cheap computer but want to spend $300 to upgrade your old ancient computer?

>>57739548
Thank you sir
>>57739626
And jesus can a guy get his pants on before you fuck him
>>57739624
Its a Dell Optiplex 745 with an Intel Core 2 Duo, all I know about it, been sitting in a closet because my stepdad is a cock and hsbt done anything with it

>>57739656

>And jesus can a guy get his pants on before you fuck him

If I were going to fuck a guy, I would take his pants OFF first you daft cunt.

>>57739642
Personally don't know what to look for, just going off suggestions and looking to see if this ancient pos is worth touching up before getting a good rig

>>57739678
Sell it $30-$50 on craigslist and get >>57739564

Then add HDD to it. And it will be much more powerful than yours

With a any $100+ GPU this cycle, the CPU in >>57739564 will keep up with modern games just fine @ 1080p.

>>57739708
Thank you, ill probably do some buying on break tonight

>>57739656
>Its a Dell Optiplex 745 with an Intel Core 2 Duo

So you have nothing, and you have $300 to spend?

Do as >>57739564 and >>57739708 said.

You can get a monitor off of craigslist. Doesn't need to be anything fancy. You can get a decent 1080p monitor for cheap.

>>57739564
that cpu is basically a i5 2400 with a slightly better igpu. bretty dam gud for that price.

>>57739919
The ebay one comes with a nVidia Quadro 600, while not a awesome card, it would be enough to play most old games on low/medium.

However a modern dedicated gpu would be recommended for playing modern games.
