How To: Turn an Old Office Computer into a Gaming PC!

In this video I show you guys how to upgrade an old office pc for gaming. I talk about what kind of parts you should upgrade in an older system and how to change out each part. This in my opinion is the best way to put together a cheap gaming pc.

I got an insane deal where I live.

Found a i5 3450 powerspec PC with 8gb of ram and a 2tb hard drive for 40 bucks. I had to replace the cooler since the system had like a pound of dust in it and it had destroyed the bearings on the old cooler. Luckily I had the same OEM cooler sitting around that I paid 3 bucks for.

I'm sure the system was stolen or something, or he thought he was selling me a lemon, but I'm not complaining.

My family pc Acer M1935 bought on 2012 or 2013 if im not mistaken:
I3-2120, Win7, 2gb ram, 500gb hdd, intel hd graphics.

During the lockdown i tried to upgrade it now this is the specs:
Same proc, win10, 10gb ram, 120gb ssd + 500gb hdd and amd r9 270x 2gb.

Now im saving for a new psu and hopefully a new processor by the end of the year. Wish me luck!

pro tip just leave the SSD hanging in the tray, it's not a moving part, it'll be fine.

I didn't expect much from this video but for some unknown reason this seemed to be really useful/helpful

puts personal setup specs in the desc

I worked on many of these and love how easy they are to upgrade. Little bit of ram, an SSD with Windows 10, Quadro P400 and there you go, better than new.

I literally found one of these towers yesterday at my friends apartment complex by the dumpster with a 24in dell screen all looked good so i took it home got some power cables for it and a cable for video and it works perfect! Free pc that I'm now going to upgrade thanks to this video!

Lol I'm on this PC right now at my highschool DIT class!

[ApexLodestar]

I already did this but on eBay. Got a Dell Optiplex 9010 SFF desktop. Upgraded the RAM, HDD and GPU. This is the specs now:
3.40 GHz i5-3570
12 GB DDR3
GTX 1050 Ti LP
1 TB HDD 7200 RPM
Windows 10 Pro

Thank you for taking the time to explain how to put in new parts! Most videos and guides I see like this don't really explain how to replace these and it makes the task seem even more daunting.

I’ve seen a few videos and this is by far one of the best

I deal a lot with old PCs from clients throwing things away when they get new stuff. I've made out pretty good in building numerous machines.

[retrogamingmaniac]

I currently have the same desktop featured in this video. I have done several upgrades and now this thing is a beast.
My specs are i7 2600 non k, 16 gigs ram, 220 gig ssd, 1 tb HDD, GTX 1070 gpu, thermaltake 600 watt psu. I added WiFi and Bluetooth as well. Oh and some RGB lol.

It crushes every game at 1080p

[Drakksy]

I love these videos because they're logically the best option for a techie to get into serious gaming

Protip: Don’t exceed the manufacturer recommended maximum for RAM and make sure to use the right socket type for your CPU

[kinyerainnoarnolds]

Such ideas have just got me my Dell optiplex 7020 with a GTX 790, 16GB RAM and an SSD. Keep up the good work.
