      In case you missed it, Moore's law (or the cpu-speed derivation) died long ago.

      Its not too shabby:
      https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i7-2600+…

      No USB3, but has pci-e slots for that and a video card.

          but will its 250W psu have enough juice to run it?

          1050ti recommends 300W I believe?

        • DrunkTechSupport on 29/03/2018 - 13:38

          It gets it's power through the pci slot which is only 75w so it will work

    Old processors are still good for anyone who uses internet stuff and social media.

    Movies and music.

    Only pros or people producing content will notice the difference.

    Also i can vouch for ACT.

    My old work once bought 50+ pcs from them, and most were a-ok.

    Since they're already second hand, theres no question about swapping the few faulty ones. No testing, if we lied, they re sell them!

    Not bad :)

  • yobeets on 28/03/2018 - 15:13

    Would this be any good for gaming with a GPU thrown in it?

    • DrunkTechSupport on 28/03/2018 - 15:20

      I have the 2600k and it is amazing no regrets not upgrading to anything new

      • AlienC on 28/03/2018 - 15:23

        Can it do 4k YouTube alone attached to a 4k tv or will I need a gpu for that?

        Thinking of getting a sff 1050ti but if it can do 4k videos by itself then the gpu can wait and I can get the tv sooner.

        • DrunkTechSupport on 28/03/2018 - 15:27
          +1

          Nah you'd need a gpu for that unfortunately

        • AlienC on 28/03/2018 - 15:29

          @DrunkTechSupport: can recommend the cheapest or most reliable one? That can fit in this case.

        • DrunkTechSupport on 28/03/2018 - 15:35

          In not sure on the exact case clearance but the MSI GEFORCE GTX 1050 Ti 4GT LP would be the best for 4k

        • Kangal on 28/03/2018 - 18:20

          @DrunkTechSupport:
          A GT 1030 is cheaper and can handle 4K Movies, and light games (<2006 and eSports).
          But yes, I would recommend a new GTX 1050 Ti-LP/HH firstly.

          Or if you're really thrifty a cheap'n'used GTX 750 (SE version with HEVC support).

    • tumor on 28/03/2018 - 17:37

      You can run a LOW PROFILE GTX1050ti in these machines. They are a great value gamer for under $500.
      It has to be a low profile version of the 1050ti because the case is SFF and has half height PCI brackets.

      Example, https://www.ple.com.au/Products/628402/Gigabyte-GeForce-GTX1…

      Video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2w45ZOcXXzs

      Works with the Optiplex SFF 990, 9010, 9020.

      • FeZZa21 on 29/03/2018 - 11:45

        will the psu on the SSF 990 be enough for a 1050ti though?

        • tumor on 29/03/2018 - 12:32
          +1

          The SFF 990 has a 250w PSU.
          On the side of the box the 1050ti says a 300W or 400W PSU is recommended. These recommendations are always waaay over spec.
          The Low Profile 1050ti cards are only powered by the PCI slot so that's 75w max.

          I can personally vouch for this combo working for years in about 30 enterprise machines in a harsh envorinment..and it's well documented online as a great budget gamer.

          It will definitely run.

        • FeZZa21 on 29/03/2018 - 19:41

          @tumor:

          Thanks for confirming mate

    • Wonderfool on 28/03/2018 - 18:22

      1060 is still the best value per dollar gpu , so if you can ever find a full size tower that can fit that for cheap, get that instead.

      The 1050ti is usually fine though. I play Nier Automata on high in 1080p.

  • QuicheLorraine on 28/03/2018 - 15:23

    I use an i7 one of these at home. We had a few of them at work that were still going strong at the 4 year mark. I took it home, threw in a 250gb SSD and installed Windows 10 and it absolutely flies! Perfect for every day interneting.

    • AlienC on 28/03/2018 - 15:24

      What about 4k videos and 4k Netflix YouTube?

      • bargaino on 28/03/2018 - 15:27

        You want a video card with HDMI 2.0 for that.
        Or a dedicated ARM TV box- Roku, AppleTV etc

        • AlienC on 28/03/2018 - 15:29

          What is the cheapest one that can do it and fit in this system just in case the budget gets thinner.

        • KnifeEnthusiastBoi on 28/03/2018 - 20:14

          @AlienC: I would say get the 1050ti if you want to do 4K netflix and youtube. Usually would recommend the 1060 6gb, but the 4gb 1050ti should have enough vram for 4k?

      • [Deactivated] on 29/03/2018 - 16:10

        I mean you will probably spend more money on a 4k monitor and decent internet connection.

  • edshays on 28/03/2018 - 15:24

    chuck an SSD in, and you've got a pretty decent PC for day to day requirements for very cheap.

    • pin4e on 28/03/2018 - 15:31

      Throw in a low profile 1050ti and you're gaming too. Far cry 5 on mine. Med-high with a couple of things turned down. Less demanding things overwatch for example it runs no worries. All 1080p, high res might struggle.

      do you have any laptops or computers with windows 7 or 8 in the house? look for the cd key for them and enter that you should be alright

      or you can buy keys for a few dollars online… or you can install windows 7 and upgrade it via microsoft to windows 10 for free

      or you could just use a crack

          but you dont even need to pay for it. you can still get a completely legit copy of windows 10 free of charge directly from Microsoft.

          https://www.techradar.com/news/windows-10-free-upgrade-is-st…

          If you were stuck, you can install a pirate copy of windows 7 > click upgrade > completely valid legit win10 from MS

          If you were really hard up most people take photos of the front and back of their laptops when they sell them on eBay and you can see thousands of valid keys at all times!

        • Homr on 28/03/2018 - 16:12

        • KnifeEnthusiastBoi on 28/03/2018 - 20:19

          @bemybubble: the i7-2600 will not be an "upgrade" from your i5-3570. The reason your PC is running sluggish is because of that 32bit windows 7 with 4gb of ram. Over the years windows 7 has become even more taxing on low ram systems. easiest way to "upgrade" is to install windows 10, or to install much more memory (i.e. 8-16gb for windows 7)

          @donkey: That's taking about the use of the DP to split DVI adapters, they're a whole other kettle of fish that use a proprietary adapters that are a pain in the ass to get working reliably on these boxes. By contrast HDMI passive adapters are supported natively by the DP (and DP++) spec.

          everything I've read so far on the web suggests you can only get audio out of a DP++ port and not the standard DP which the 990 has. looks like I need to hunt around for a cheap low profile video card that passes audio via its HDMI port.

      IMO for a cheap as chips but still good price to performance build as these SFF boxes are - better off with a 1050 than 1050ti for low profile cards at the moment. The 1050 is around 40% cheaper but performs about 25% slower.
