How to make your shityy pc into gaming pc
1-beg your mom for money
2-pay for your pc
3- GAME ON
Lol Go outside and find a work

GT FURY my mom won’t do that
GT FURY lol it actually worked thanks
Nikki Bryant job*
Just got a 7010 from work they was gonna trow it away. I was like can I have it they said sure. En this video show exactly what I am planning to do with it. Including the 3.0 usb. I will put it in my living room link it to my flat-screen and I can pc game and play on ps4 why not😎 thanks for the video keep em coming 👍
Got mine free too.
I’ve had mine for awhile and just noticed I have no ram sticks in it 😂 sorta remember the dude taking them out and saying I’ll have to get some. I traded a laptop I had just bought from best buy for like 200 that was return(maybe even like 130 I forget tbh)
Yeah..bro, i also had mine for free we have 5S in every year so they gonna put everything in trash and i found out this kind of optiplex 990 and i brought it home ..viola gametime.
I found a old dell desktop at a garage sale for 20$ so I picked it up with doing this in mind
Does the pc really work like every one says?
Well demonstrated upgrade. I was pleasantly surprised how well Heaven benchmark looked on that system. Enjoyed it.
Thanks Harry
This is a great video. I have been looking to up grade my machine and didn't want to buy a new node since they become obsolete so quickly. Please do more like this with other brands.
More coming if people find it interesting
I always learn something new when I watch your videos. Thanks for the great video!!
Thanks
@@Britec09 did you have to turn off secure boot in the bios menu f12 before installing the gpu? i had read you have to do this or your pc won't boot up with a new gpu installed.
Hey Brian I really enjoyed this video! Very timely for me as I am on a tight budget and love saving money! But I appreciate the way you put all the links in the "Show More" section...I have followed you on CZcams for years and
always learn something NEW!!
You're welcome.
Great video, very comprehensive and not filled with unnecessary jerking around so common on “gaming” channels.
like the blue screwdriver you kinda match it with the dell hard drive cover lol great video keep it up
Awesome video Brian. Very to the point, simple and easy to understand. A lot of people are afraid to get into pc gaming when they see RGBs, liquid cooling, huge GPUs and all the costs. This is a great way to get into pc gaming if you've never done it before.
Cheers Daniel
Anyone watching this keep in mind, the 7010 is more commonly known, used, and upgraded, but if you’re buying a 7010, buy the 9010 instead so that you can add 32gb of ram as opposed to 16gb. Hope this could help anyone!
Awesome video. Very straightforward though informative!
Once again great tutorial. It would be nice if you went more in-depth about pc building and know-how and all that good stuff but no matter what just keep up the good work
I can do that, made videos on build a pc
Whatcha Brian, would love to see more videos like these! Gr8t work mate!
Cheers Quin
It would be interesting to see how the free game StalkerSoup works with it as my 970 card struggles with it, Brian. Thanks for your useful video. Regards, Jan.
Hey great video you inspired me to upgrade my old DELL desktop. If I am upgrading and have an old NVIDIA card in there should i uninstall the software prior to replacing the card?
Can't wait for mine. Just ordered this along with a 250 gb hdd, 4gb ram, mouse and keyboard, 19' 720p monitor for $90. This is basically what my upgrades are going to be. So in essence it's a prebuilt upgrade rather than a build but you can't beat the price altogether. These are amazing computers for upgrades.
How good is the pc for gamin?
@ITZKJ mate that comment is 3 years old
Well done. Thanks for taking the time.
Great vid! Your channel is really useful.
Thanks
Great video man! This is exactly what I will do with my computer!
omar khan did it work?
Something of note is there is a way to get around that psu limitation on the SFF units. Rather than going with a regular or K model go with an S or T model CPU. Yes the base clocks are lower but they still have turbo and are still quite fast.
I have the same system. For anyone that wants to upgrade the PSU, it uses the TFX format and the motherboard has the standard 24 pin main power and 4 pin CPU power connections. They can be upgraded but trying to find something of decent quality can be a challenge. I was able to track down a 300w Seasonic 80+ Bronze and it works without issue.
be quiet! TFX Power 2 300W Gold or something with more power www.amazon.com/FSP-Supply-Single-Certified-FSP500-702UH/dp/B01BMERN2A
I did something similar last year before going abroad for work. I'm temporarily working abroad and was wondering what to take with me to be able to have decent setup for work/Intermet/movies and also for occasional light gaming. I had to leave behind my huge set up for time being. Gaming Laptop would be ideal but costs a bit, and I was trying to go as cheap as possible.
This is why I got used DELL Optiplex 9010 SFF with i5-3470 (and sticker win7 Pro - Updated to Win10), added some RAM now it has 12GB, got ZOTAC GTX1050Ti LP (you cannot use MSI GTX1050Ti as it is too long and power plug is in the way, you can use Gigabyte instead), 240GB SSD + 1TB HDD. SSD is concealed in special CDROM/HDD caddy (costs really cheap) with nice faceplate so you can't see there is no DVDROM. Got on Aliexpress special hard drive caddy for 2x 2.5” HDDs as shown on the video so I can have for example 2x1TB HDDs if the need arises beside SSD. Yes, you can have total 3 HDDs in this machine or 2 HDDs + DVDROM - with this adapter. My Dell didn’t have a speaker so I got it separately directly from DELL for only £3 so it can have basic sound - nothing special just using it for listening to news, normally using BT headphones.
Overall, I'm very pleased with performance - I know this is temporarily set up but I can play any game with decent FPS - Witcher 3. FC5, RE2, Assassins Creed, Dishonored 2, Kingdom Come, Latest TRs, even Metro Exodus works super good on this machine - graphics maybe aren’t on Ultra but in many games are on high/medium. The only problem is that when playing the video card gets very loud...
Many people are wondering if the PSU (has only 240W) can cope with video card, I can assure anyone that there are no problems whatsoever... I played hours and hours of AAA games and there are no signs of slightest failure - works solid.
Wicked Brian, Great video nice and clear explanation, Cheers
Cheers Daz
Hello, may i ask the original 240w PSU enough to support all these upgrade? and for the screw to locate the SSD and the sata cable, does it comes inside the ssd boxes? or i need to purchase myself
Thank you very much! I subbed
Cheers
Love this video Brian thank you
You're welcome.
I am planning to buy an SSD, but I am worried about how to install it, and buying that brand is my ideal choice. Thanks for the information you provided, I decided to go first to see OYUNKEY's 512gb SSD.
I went to see OYUNKEY's 512gb SSD in the US and found that there are promotions. Compared with other brands, it is much more affordable. Thanks to the author, I chose him.
Nice to see you getting your hands dirty Brian - great video mate :)
I love this type of video, but it takes time and money.
@@Britec09 Yep but I think this will appeal to a larger audience than problem specific video's not that people dont appreciate them, we do, these types of videos are more fun related 👍
I agree, I will have to start selling myself to pay the bills lol
@@Britec09 😂😂😂
@@Britec09 Zotac has announced GTX 1650 Low Profile.
Will there be performance boost if GTX 1050 Ti is replaced with GTX 1650 in Dell 7010 DT.
Enjoyed your video, Thank you
Cheers Rob
I'm going to try a GTX1650 in my Shuttle SH61R4 (which only has the i3-2100) and if that doesn't work out, then get myself an Optiplex 7010 per this demo. :) Really useful video thanks
As an FYI, with the latest firmwares, I was able to put 32Gb (8Gbx4) into my bad boy. (BIOS version A19 wouldn't work, but an upgrade to A29 made it work. Another thread mentions A21 works as well. So I would imagine atleast BIOS versions A21 to A29 support 32Gb (Despite Dell saying 8 Gb total is the max)
Your Video helps me so much, I was given an old Optiplex 7010 and have used it for some time, quite impressed at the way it runs completely stock besides windows 10 being installed on it.
I wanted to Upgrade it to play more and run more as I am an artist and my programs would benefit significantly from this and my occasional gaming as well.
We seem to be running the same system besides the internals of my PC being a little different, I have a huge power supply that takes up the entire lower end of the stealth case. The fan id is different too as it's one of those console-looking fans that are completely encased.
Anyhow I wanted to say thank you and if you have any advice on what I should do I would love to hear it, Also thank you for showing and talking about the cloning option, I find few talks about it and fewer explain how to, I'm kind of a dummy when it comes to technical computer stuff so people like you help me more then people know.
Great video!I like your tutorials
For those worry power supply problem, I have optiplex 7010 DT, the psu is original 240w, no worry it can support gtx 1050ti mini without problem, plug, install driver then cool to go
Hey so this is irrelevant with this video, but i need help. I have Windows 7 and when i type into the search bar it doesnt work it just says like Programs
Files
Pictures
and it has a file (white paper) icon
I right clicked on every of those on properties and it says it has 0 bytes.
So my search bar is useless can someone please help me to fix this?
Great stuff. Much better video and solution to the Linus Tech Tips version.
Yeah I see his, that was a joke lol
I did not make it into a gaming machine but I did buy one one ebay. I put in an SSD reinstalled windows and gave it to my girlfriends mother after her 2009 PC died. She loves it. Optiplex SFF 3010, 8 gb or ram for $90.00. I had the SSD from an old pc.
They are great little machines for the money.
Yes they are especially if you are just looking to give it to someone that wants to surf the internet check email and play solitaire. He has another one. www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-Optiplex-3010-SFF-i3-3220-3-30GHz-8GB-RAM-250GB-Win-7-Pro-/223175680690?hash=item33f64ea2b2
@@Britec09 can you do a upgrade on that machine with 32gb ram and I7 process with graphic card
I recently did something very similar on an Optiplex 3010 SFF Put in an MSI 1050ti low proile GPU and swapped Out the Core 2 Duo for an i7 3770 and upgraded from 2GB of Ram to 8GB, Makes a great media center PC.
Is the 1050 ti low pro the largest you can fit?
3020 sff in the werks.. Lol
@@VinniBob1 yes, it's low profile but still slot and a half
I was going to upgrade a Dell Vostro 760s, but the power supply couldn't be upgraded, so I took the i5-2400 out of that machine, bought a Corsair 200R case, and got a P8Z77-V LX motherboard with a Corsair RM 550x PSU and a GTX 1050 and now I can be free to upgrade to whatever I want to upgrade. Later I plan to get a new Corsair case, a bigger one. Those Dell cases are so restrictive in what you can do to your machine.
core2duo its a 775 socket and i7 3770 socket 1155 how you put it on a 775 socket
My bad I thought it was a core2... it was actually a Pentium dual core g2020
Did this card need an additional connection to power like many other gfx cards? So tempting to get one of these off ebay and pop in a 1030 (cause I'm cheap).
no extra power needed
@@Britec09 will a Dell Optiplex 3020 mini tower with a i5-4590 and a rx 560 itx card work or no? as i hear people online say the pcie slot wont give it enough power. i would appreciate your feedback,thanks
if i did this and used the same graphics card as you, would you need to install drivers to replace my integrated graphics or does the computer do all the work?
Can you do a video on making a "Hackintosh" out of this system? I have the same exact PC. Thanks!
I can do that George, I plan to do a number of videos with it.
Sweet cant wait
Would love to see a detailed video on flashing the BIOS = I have DELL 1501 yes old PC but cannot get into the BIOS
since I've forgotten the password! And it's a tricky process which can turn my PC into a BRICK! Thanks Brian
I see what I can do.
can you post a video of daily usage of this pc? like office works, youtube, gaming, etc
I have a 240 watts psu can i add a gt 1030 gpu? Will it have any issues? Also great video
I wanted to see how you transformed windows 7 from one disk to the SSD disk.
hi i have this dell model with an i7 3770 and 16 gb of ram with an ssd , i was hoping to add a low profile graphics card and get decent performance. I do video editing , obs stuff and also gaming and was thinking of putting in a graphics card so i can get around 144 fps on low settings on games like fortnite . Since i got this rig for free i 'm thinking of buying a budget graphics card like a 1050 ti or a rx570 so do you think it will workout for my requirements or should i just build a new pc?
*_I have the same PC as this [optiplex 7010sff]. I use it for looking up stuff & also CZcams/Netflix. I like how it looks & its small, neat size. I never had the money for an expensive PC, it took me a few weeks to save for a new SSD recently but i was blown away at how easy it was to clone & replace. The performance is amazing, booting up in less than 10 seconds. So now i'm wondering, must i get a graphics card. I am not a gamer. Besides what i just mentioned, ive only used what came in the PC when new. I ordered 8GB of DDR3 12800 [1600MHz] from CEX & when i got it the next day i noticed that besides the brand, Kingston, there was no other label on the sticks. So i installed & found they were actually 1333MHz. The CEX store is 10 mins away from me but i was working my butt off before the "lockdown" kicked in & since they deliver for free i decided i needed to get every hour in at work & have my parts delivered before non-essential stores closed, like CEX. Now i must wait til they open back up to have them replaced. In the meantime i have no option but to use them. Will i notice a difference when i get the correct DDR3 ram. In time i will be replacing my i3 cpu with the i5 or i7, depending on cost. These can ALSO be got from CEX. This is all new to me & thats why i get my bits from CEX. When i am confident enough to put a weeks wages into a piece of kit i will do so but i'm just learning as i go, ye know. Tnx a lot Britec09_*
Me too.
can you make a video on the basics of flashing a bios? i have a GA-H61N-USB3
I think I done a video on flashing BIOS
I have 2 dell 3010 PCs with a i3 3240 though find the intel HD is fine for older games I use.
Can we have a video doing this on an MT please? It would be very helpful thanks
With the right equipment, can these builds push like 120 hz or higher ? ( without issues ) I would like to start a a build but with next gen consoles thinking 60z woukd not be a good build for pc . ( most vids seem to say its low settings 69 hz )
Can this "Dell Optiplex 7010" be good for doing some sort of heavy work (like using Adobe Products for example)
You might want 16GB of ram for photoshop
Very informative as always, Appreciate the U.S. links also
Thank-you for your time and effort
You're welcome Wally.
Hey Brian awesome video
I've 7010 DT i5 3470 240GB SSD 500 HDD 16GB RAM
Want to know if I install 1050 Ti LP can I play Fifa 19 on high setting & get 60 FPS on 1080p TV.
your pc is very very super good my pc is intel core i3 and intel hd graphics 2000 and 2gb ram and i don't have any money and yeah my strongest game is call of duty 1
How about the power supply unit? Will it suffice once you install a better GPU?
I have just bought one for around 50-60£ with a i3, 250gb hard drive and windows 10 pro planing to buy a 1050/1050ti low profile gpu to put inside after checking out this video, maybe change the hard drive for a ssd later when the budget is there
Nice upgrade on that old Optiplex. I have found them to be far less fussy with upgrades than the junk HP business model equivalents.
Yeah DELL PSU is pretty good as well i think.
I bought a refurbished hp elite 8300 with a core i5 3rd gen quad core, and 8gb ram. I installed a Silicon Power A55 512gb SSD and a Gigabyte GT 1030 OC, also i am planning to put in another 4gb of ram. That PC works great, i am impressed with it. I understand about the power supply having a stupid designed motherboard plugin, but you can buy an adapter to make it work with an upgraded power supply.
lance ripplinger HP alone sucks ass. Laptop overheats too quickly, bloatware taken to the next level
the dell PSU and the fact that some of those HP limit power to the pcie makes the optiplex the better choice. if you look on gumtree and shpock you may get one cheaper than on ebay too. i got one from gumtree for 50 quid, i5 3570 version.
Thanks man! I actually had to sell a PC like that, because the GPU wouldn't fit. Can you run BF4 please?
Yes it will play battlefield 4 on max settings, probably get about 70fps to 80fps
Thanks man :D
Great job as usual
Would you be able to put these parts into a micro atx case?
you can get a seasonic tfx 350w powersupply if you want to have extra headroom.
can you please share the link for the blue colored plastic SSD caddy which you used in the video?
thanks in advance
1. Ready a hammer
2. Buy 2 8gb ram
3. Use hammer to destroy your pc
Is the GTX 1050 Ti Low profile still working well on the 240W PSU? I have a GT 1030 and want to upgrade, also have a small form factor PC

And also does it if I get a Gigabyte GeForce 1050 3GB graphics card?
can you do a 2018/19 gaming pc build video? Thanks!

Hello I'm wanting some advise I have this exact pc and ive been looking at a
MSI GeForce GTX 1650 AERO ITX 4GB OC GDDR5 Graphics Card would it fit and work ok?
Just so long as it is a small form factor card it should fit and work.
Wait, my computer is a 3010 (not the wide one, but the thin one). Is it low-end? It's running quite fast for me.
Is there a way I can apply a graphics card to the ussf version?

Could it also support a 1650 video card? Thank you for the video
I dont think so
Thanks ! Man
You're welcome.
Some quality options are missing in your video. I am only getting up to 360p when watching this video. Do I have to wait for the video to finish uploading?
Edit: I only had to wait 10 minutes for the video to show 1080p resolution
Yeah it was still processing
How about the power supply can you upgrade it to 500 watts???
Most PC makers cheat on the power supply(cheap parts used inside it) and they are usually the first thing to burn out. Bottom line - Don't go cheap on the Power Supply, it might save your butt.
