Don’t Build a Gaming PC, Do this Instead!

Today we buy a RX 6600 graphics card, which is a great gaming card, BUT we pair it with an older prebuilt that is incredibly cheap! We then try the same card in a brand new gaming system that we built for as cheap as possible to see what the price Vs. performance differences are!

This is why I like these guys. They are really there at the budget side showing what's possible, and why building a budget PC vs modding an old office PC does cost more.

The reason the $600 PC did better was the RGB, RGB always increases FPS.

For a LONG time I was running a 2nd and 4th gen Optiplex as spare gaming rigs with gtx 1650s and they were EXCELLENT value for money. Sometimes when you have 200-400 to spend, it's better to upgrade an existing used PC.

I've got the Optiplex 7040 SFF with the same specs and its still very capable in 2022. Love that you guys keep the budget builds on the channel just as much as the over the top ones!!! I'm awaiting my RX6400 to complete my budget build 😎. Keep them coming guys.

I put a video card (1050ti) in a SFF optiplex by cutting a slot in the side panel with a dremel tool, lining it with door insulation, screwing angle brackets underneath it and setting the GPU on a riser shelf on the angle brackets with the cable going through the slot

Optiplexes are pretty neat. I have a gtx 970 with a 500w psu, and an i7-3770. Pretty neat.

I've done custom builds and prebuilds. Prebuilds get my vote because they're cost effective, engineered to work as a unit, parts are readily available and they're designed to run Windows flawlessly. Driver are no problem too. For a hassle free cost effective system, prebuilts win easily.

Stoked for y'all on the Autofull sponsor. Picked up 3 over the past year, and I highly recommend them! One of the best value "Premium" build chairs I could find at the beginning of 2022, when shipping delays brought a drought in "gaming" chairs among other things.

My rig is a dell inspiron I found for 20 bucks. It came with a i5 8400 12gb ram and a 1tb hdd. Sold the hdd for 20 bought a 20 dollar stick of 8gb ram to bump to 16gb, 100 dollar 1tb nvme and 110 gtx 1650 oc from asus. Does really well

Great video guys. I have a Dell Precision T7100 that i have converted to a gaming rig. Cpu E3 1270 v3, 16gb ram at 1600 with an RTX 2060, i am so proud of my build. I get 60fps in all my games 1080p high/max settings in AAA titles.

Upgraded two Dell Optiplex PCs a few years ago and they have no issues playing any modern games I throw at them including VR tittles. Total cost at the time for each PC and their upgrades was around $450.

Back in 2010 as a poor grad student, I bought a used Dell desktop from the Dell Outlet online for about $300. Literally just added more RAM. Solid gaming and even managed to do some streaming at the same time. Ran with it for 5+ years. Was it old by then? Yes. But totally worth it on a budget. I highly recommend this method (adding a rx6600/rtx3050 maybe) if you want some good 1080p gaming! Enjoy it.

[matthewcale]

I have this exact setup with my Optiplex (Minus the power supply which I upgraded with an EVGA 450W) I'm super happy with the performance so far. I got the dell Optiplex in a trade for with an Xbox one s, and the bought the graphics card second-hand. so accounting for the value of the Xbox plus what I paid for the GPU im in only $350 for a sweet 1080p medium/high settings machine.

[yearofthegarden]

You cannot beat the right Optiplex. I got a 3010 MT which is able to house a mATX motherboard. I bought the optiplex from a blind charity for $50, which got me a case, front USB, cd drive, and a WD500gb. I threw in a PSU, b450, R5 1600af, and rx 570 for about $300 all in all and it worked so great, no issues except rewiring the Dell power button to work on a normal motherboard.

I got bored fo gaming and eventually swapped to just a 5700G in a custom case made of aluminum pans for small form factor and now I am now on a new mini pc powered by USB c pd battery kick, because I love small form factor, and lower wattage with the APU, plus dont game and travel a lot. I essentially pulled all of the e-waste from the optiplex and recycled the case, because $50 is a good entry case and pays for itself since I got to keep windows and no one wanted to buy it for $30 on craigslist lol.

[DJYunkHank]

The thing is with the new parts at least your getting warranty from reputable companies whereas the optiplex is used and you won't get a warranty from dell

Got two Optiplexs'. Both 9020s. One is a MT with an i7 4790 3.6 ghz. The other is a SFF i7 4770 a 3.4 ghz. The MT sports an RTX 2060. (Yes, I replaced the PS, A Corsair CX 750m and with an adapter for the non-standard power connector on the Dell mb.) The SFF sports an RTX A2000. They're both great. Much as I like the SFF PC, the MT stays cooler and can actually boost to 100%CPU without going over 80c. (No, the SFF will start thermal throttle if running up the cores to 100%. But you'll probably never notice gaming.) Yeah, if paying attention and looking for it both 9020s will "lag spike" every once in a while, loading . . . something or other. Many people might never notice. If I told you you were gaming on my Ryzen 9 PC instead of the Optiplex many people would probably believe it. I've been using the Opti's quite a bit more than my Ryzen 9 because the Optiplexs' are on a large TV. Yeah, these are for chilling out with 8bitdo Pro2 controllers. (Get a8bitdo's branded wireless dongle AND someone else's bluetooth 4.0 dongle. PRESTO. You like more than one wireless controller?) And trusty Logitech k400s. You bet, reclining and gaming is awesome. These Optiplexs' can do more, but ALL I need them to be able to do a solid 1080p 60 FPS. That's what the TV likes, and the Optis' do it well. The i7 4790 makes a difference by the way. Guess what. It boosts and STAYS boosted. (Don't ask me. I thought these had that boost timer nonsense.) Yeah, we'll get back to you one of these days, Ryzen 9. Better posture sitting up at a desk is good, right? I know I'm glad I decided to stick something that can game on the TV! Excuse me while I recline! PC speaker? Nahh. How about Dynaudio speakers on a home stereo. Boom boom!

I love my Optiplex i am in sudamerica (Venezuela) and with 450 usd aprox i get a Optiplex 9020 with a i7 2600, 16 gb ddr3 ram, a ssd of 512 gb and a rx 580 nitro 4gb that lets me play anything over 60 fps, in comparation a PS5 in my country sell in 1200 USD, of course it was a process to getr all the parts and build the pc but i am very happy with the performance even if is somewhat slow because of the type of ram

[paulosrcs]

Dont build a gaming pc do this....then builds a gaming pc ...wtf

[vdubmikey]

I've gone a slightly different way. I've bought a new Dell Precision 3660 Tower and am gradually going to turn it into a gaming beast beast as I go.

[stevenhinkle]

Entertaining video. You guys should run a test using the exact same components across both computers ( GPU, CPU, NVME, RAM ) in order to isolate each motherboard's bottlenecks. I feel like that's the true question between these two build methods.
