Bro you’re so underrated
Appreciate t he kind words, excited to get more videos out!
This REALLY helped me out with my pc!!! Thanks kryptonic!
Glad to hear it!
Nice video really helped out
Glad I could help you out :)
Very cool you have all that laying around let me check my closet to see if I have any cool computer parts for my first builds…
I like how your downing your power supply when I was thinking my 290w was bad ass😂
You deserve more subs. Nice vids
Thanks man 🙏
Nice build bro!
I'm glad you like it
Great video bro def earned a sub u should keep doing these maybe even for subs or other relatives
Thanks for the sub!
Great video
Sorry for late but what gpu without paying for a psu adapter
Hey great video. One problem I had with my 3020 was upgrading cpu from i3 4130 to i5 4590 is that it introduced a restart freeze issue.
Everything else worked fine but any process which needed a restart would require a manual power off/on. Solution was to drop the i3 back in and
upgrade the bios from version A02 to A03. Put i5 back in...all is well.
Is this worth doing? I have a 3020 with an I3 as well I’m just trying to run some Minecraft with mods 😭
Does this work with the slim model?
50 USD ? I'm buying a Dell Optiplex 3020 PC for 230 € instead of 800 € on Saturday because it's over 5 years old! My last PC is twice as old!
A friend of mine ordered it from Wish as far as I know and assured me that it was not a gaming PC, as I only needed one with which you can stream films and series!
Woah that's crazy!
8pin power connecters have become the norm in newer dell computers so i wouldn't call it particularly an old design
Are these things able to have windows 10
Got one for free at work to take home,thinking of making it into a gaming machine.but doesn't know where to start as I'm more of an plugin play gamer.
I just got one of these 3020's sff with an i5 processor and I'm pretty satisfied with gaming so far with no graphics card in it yet although my standards for good speed in gaming isn't tough to cross lol but I plan to get a graphics card soon so it can be even better than it is now
I have Dell Optiplex 3020.Will upgrade it with a graphics card.Also,added 4 more GB in it so now i have 12. It came with 8 GB
Whats the best graphics card bro
@@dhanwinvyshnav5851for the sff dell optiplex its prob the gt 1030 but me personally would not get that today since its not good for modern day gaming at all, but for a mt dell optiplex would probably be a gtx 1650 which performs decently but if u wanna get something better than a 1650 you would need a new psu for the pc
bruh where are the benchmarks
I'm going to make an updated video going over that, so far it's been performing way better than an older PC.

Awesome deal. That would be great for me right now. I have a Dell Optiplex SFF 3010. I am running out of storage and I hate the SFF style, but I can't complain too much it was free from my Nephew.
These optiplex will survive forever and I can’t complain!
@@KryptonicHD you're right
As someone who also picked up an Optiplex 3020, I'll say $50 is pretty ridiculous, nice find! Also I guess it depends on your viewers, but there's some pretty big TH-camrs who do used PC part content like tech yes city, linus tech tips does videos on it too. I find it fun to watch!
Me and Bryan actually follow each other on the twitter so we've chatted a few times, but I do love watching his used parts hunt when it drops!
I may purchase this same optiplex 3020, large form, and put in a 3060 and my own power supply.. issue is, the dell 8 pin power... has anyone used or is it okay to use a 24-pin to 8-pin adapter?
Yes , no problem with this adapter, but your cpu (even an i7 4th Gen) will be too weak (bottleneck) for this card
$50 gaming PC! Just find one for 1/3 their usually going price, add power supply and graphics card which everyone just has lying around, and voila! You're a genius!
These types of PC are a GREAT option that many don't even consider, but tech back then wasn't that bad!
Love your build‼️. Clean work 👍 I did something g similar recently. Check it out Dell Optiplex to Gaming PC Build!
@@KryptonicHD i dont get what he means can u explain plz
tonio cross what do you mean!?
Clickbait
I got a 9020 with i7-4790 for $90, i might keep it for a while since it can still run a gtx 1060 which is perfect for 1080p gaming. I instead spent on an AOC curved 144 hz gaming monitor.
Get a 2060 with that and trust me the FPS boost will be so nice since you have a 144hz at 1080p! Solid computer :)
I just found one of these on goodwill for $12 I’m definitely going to scoop it up
What!!!!
LOL
UR SO LUCKY
Im thinking of getting one of those and changing it into a gaming PC
Honestly they're super easy to work with because everyone has done it at some point or another. I really like them and they're super solid for a gaming PC on the low. I would say having a PC like is can sometimes be nicer because parts are so cheap in comparison to newer parts and for the most part do the same thing.
Underrated
Thanks homie
I have a dell 7020 sff with i7 4790 32gb ram and 1650 it’s a bit of a sleeper I was playing halo mcc and it runs so smooth no frame drops and my dad didn’t believe me at first that it was running off what looks like a old office computer lol so much hidden potential they have.
I love those reactions others have when they see these pc's do so well!
Did you have to upgrade the PSU?
@@joeltaylor9460 - Always upgrade the PSU.
I have the same pc but my gaming monitor doesnt have a vga plug in so i bought a vga to hdmi adaptor and it still wont connect to my monitor can you help?
Try connecting a GPU to see if it's maybe the port on the motherboard.
.......Can you go from VGA to HDMI?
Only From VGA to HDMI: This VGA to HDMI converter cable is one-way Design. It only converts from VGA (analog signal output such as PC/laptop/HD TV-Box) to HDMI (digital signal input such as monitor, HDTV, projector). Can NOT be used as a HDMI-to-VGA converter cable.
Hi , i have the same computer but mine doesn’t find WiFi networks , it only works with the cable , how can I make it work solely on WiFi ?
The model I have doesn't have a wireless chip inside of it. If anything you could buy a wifi usb adapter on amazon for about 10$!
Can you make a video on how to make the mic quality sound good with the at2020?
I'll make a video talking about audio very soon!
Fps ?
What is the best dell optiplex to look for I’ve been saving up to get a pc but I don’t really know that much about them
Dell optiplex's are the best to work on because they are super easy to swap things out of! I would say that this model is great or the slimmer option but then you might be limited GPU wise!
Watch game bench optiplex vid he tells u that and give benchmarks and compatible parts
@@ajmjl9102 thank you
@@rezen9077 your welcome id recommend a 570 4gb for 80 USD
@@ajmjl9102 ok
If y pu buy a dell with a gt 1030 gpu will it already come installed in?
If it says it has the 1030 inside then it should.
Will a Nvidia 1050 2gb work?
Edit: for anyone this is wondering, it does work. i put it into my optiplex 3020 and you don't need to upgrade the psu for it to work
Sorry for not seeing this sooner! But yeah any GPU that doesn't require power from a PSU will normally work fine in these systems off of motherboard power! It's the reason why these computers rock!
Can I use the same monitor for Xbox and this pc? Or does it have to be different
Different. You could always just buy a HDMI splitter and then just swap between the two! They’re less than $10
What graphics card should i get for the acer veriton x2611g with i think a 240 watt psu
That’s a tough one because the PSU is already so small. Try getting your hands on a low profile GT 1030 or 1050, that uses the motherboard and no external PSU cable.
What is that controller/keyboard mouse thing???
It's a 20$ little controller 2.4Ghz gadget you can find on Amazon.
will a gt 1030 work with it and can you upgrade ram in this pc?
Yes and Yes. 16GBs and a GT 1030 are perfect for this!
Just got the 9020 I want to upgrade the ram what should I buy
Amazon has some great ram kits, just make sure to match it up properly.
I really don’t know how to work pc such as all the parts and stuff so if I just got a base 3020 what’s the most necessary parts I would need to make it into a budget gaming pc and how would I put it in? Thanks
Power supply 30$, graphics card (60-150$)
@@KryptonicHD oh alright thanks I appreciate it man
Wait, why did u buy i5? Default i3 was enough
If you are installing a ssd and a gigabyte 1030 gpu, do you need to get a new power supply
As long as the GPU only needs power off of the motherboard, then you should be fine!
Link to but it please
What’s does it have in terms of fps in games like fn,r6,valorant,rl
Easily over 100fps on medium to high settings the 1660 is great for games and the i5 is a perfect cpu for this pairing
For a moment I thought that this gameplay is fake but after looking close to your hand I ve found it moving inch by inch
Great budget gaming PC! Don’t need to fake it! Tons of videos of people doing the same. Great machine for anyone who doesn’t want to blow 500$+
I got an SFF for $17 that works.
It doesn't mean it comes with an I5, I also comes with an I3, I wish I could find a guide for the I3 for I have one and I just need to know what gpu I can use that's cheap but decent.
Nowadays, these optiplex are last resort and I wouldn't spend over 100$ for an i5/i7 model, simply because longevity and ryzen APUs are getting cheaper like the 2200g and other processors along the line. For like 300$ you can get a good future proof build !
are optiplex pcs good for gaming without any upgrades?
As long as you add a GPU, yes you don't really have to do any upgrading. I changed the power supply because I had a GPU that needed more power. You can just pop in a 1650 or something along those lines that just receives power off of the motherboard.
What app do u use to find these used pc’s
Offerup, Facebook Marketplace, and Craigslist!
I would sure love to find some of these 3020/7020/9020 like all these youtubers find for $50..... All 125+ that I have found.
Don't worry they're out there! It just comes down to location and how many times you check. For this computer I found it at 9am when I was doing my daily check of Offerup and it had only been listed for 35mins! So, it just goes to show you gotta be looking for deals and you gotta be faster than everybody else :D
There ya go
:P
all the optiplexes i can find are never the full size ones unless you wanna spend £200 ($250) for them. even the SFF size cost £90 ($100) at CHEAPEST.
I totally agree with this! They became so hard to find after people realized their potential. But prices will hopefully drop within a few months with all these new components!
I just found one of these to do the same thing for a friend. But my old graphics card is a GTX 750. 😂😂. So I gotta find something else. Great video
Did it work?
@@KryptonicHD it does work. Actually ran some apex Legends on it. But not as good of a experience as I'm looking for.
@@Ziggy405 The 750 is a tough one, right on the border of being pleased but also wanting more! I saw some 970's on EVGA B stock sale for like 50$ so that's always a good route to go as well.
@@KryptonicHD yea it's my friends first gaming PC. So I want it to be pretty smooth. I saw 1060 6gb and 1650 supers on there this week. I'm still deciding and watching videos.

None 🥲🥲🥲🥲
I've got this same PC with i5-4590 and am looking at upgrading for 'low settings VR' (I do realise it's probably not an ideal pc to make VR ready ), I was hoping you or someone could elaborate on the 'bottlenecking' thing. I haven't got a proper GPU yet and seeing as i'd like to use it for VR I was thinking of getting something like GTX 1070 or slightly better.
I'm not really PC component savvy but it sounds as if it may be a problem if I upgrade the graphics card too much without upgrading the CPU?
I was also wondering what I would do about that HD/SSD cage if my GPU is too big? the area measures almost exactly 250mm and most gpu's i've been looking at are 240 - 280mm. Should I not worry too much about size and try to house the HD/SSD somewhere else or should I be picking only the GPU's small enough to fit?
Sorry for not being very clued up but any help would be much appreciated!
This a website I use for rough estimates of parts being a good fit for each other or not.
pc-builds.com/calculator/Core_i5-4590/GeForce_GTX_1070/0A20UNlu/
Normally bottlenecks are exactly as you said the CPU being to weak. Since the CPU is doing a decent amount of the work you need something beefy. I’d say try finding an I7 4th gen and that should remove the bottleneck. If you upgrade and get the GTX 1070+ you’ll be limiting your FPS by around 20-30%.
I've done a couple of videos of my 3020 with a GTX 1070, it is a stellar rig for the cost of the build. The Pcie x16 2.0 port might be bottlenecking the card though, I have another Haswell ROG board with Pcie x16 3.0 to test it on at some point.
Did it have a hdmi?
HDMI for motherboard since intel CPU's have integrated graphics (thank goodness)
I too am building a pc for my elder brother
what if i want to buy in india
So I find one like this Cann I play games on it like gta fortniye and fifa?
Yeah as long as you add a GPU and change the PSU you’ll be fine!

Hey I might get this for my gaming setup but idk anything about a upgrading pc
It's a pretty good started setup if you can buy the pieces at the right price!
It’s actually really easy and the performance for price on these things are more than great, I got on now with an i5 4590, 16gb ram, and a 1650 and I mainly play rainbow 6 siege but call of duty war zone can run at 60-80 frames consistently with normal settings applied. If you can find one of these systems used for cheap and just throw a decent gpu in it makes for a great starting pc
@@Sean-zb1nt still working for me to this day!

@@KryptonicHD so on amazon Lenovo 24 pin to 14 pin PSU adapters are like 15 bucks and after that it's simple plus with some help from the OEM Gaming community I found a nice diagram for the front panel

This made it so I could add this to a Cooler Master Elite 310 case from 2009 (I put 4 120mm LED fans in it and it looks pretty nice)
The Heatsink is also upgradable and I have a Cooler Master Hyper 212 RGB Black Edition that i got for free for it missing it's RGB Fan for some reason and then I added a 120mm Blue LED fan
then I went to the local PC recycle/service center in my town and got another 8GB Udimm of DDR3
I then ordered a 240GB SSD for Windows and use the 1TB HDD that it came with as storage
The Thinkcentre M93 is ATX compatible so it fits perfect in the case and with the diagram above the case swap was ultra easy and it works perfectly.

Can i use gtx750ti or rx560??
I got 290watt psu
I’d say to stick with 350 and above for safety.
I’ve ran 1050Ti, 1650, 1650 Super, 1060 (6GB and 3GB), and a 1660Ti all on the stock 290w PSU and measured the wattage at the wall, all of those cards are well within safe limits. Obviously some models of the cards listed above will vary in power draw depending on overclocking. You will also need a SATA to 6-pin adapter. After testing them all I settled on the 1650 Super, it’s hard to beat the price to performance and power draw, only downside is it only has 4GB of VRAM. I’m running them in three machines, and a 1060 6GB in another, all 9020 Optiplex with i7 4770, 16GB RAM.

Yes! This PC performs super well with daily tasks because of the SSD. The only limitation using an older PC like this has is that for working on some programs like adobe photoshop, premiere, etc. can be CPU intensive, so using a ryzen processor you get way better results. But for gaming and daily usage it works super great! Buy one of these and wait for the 30 series launch and you can get yourself a super powerful GPU for cheap :D

There are different models and sizes, some are SFF, small form factors, and some are the regular beefy ones. Usually the beefier ones are easier to work with, but ultimately they have the same parts.

Broke is 200$. You just have to save and wait. That Dell computer in the video took a few weeks of constant searching to appear. Just save as much as possible until you have enough money to go on the used market around you and you try find something for cheap. You definitely wouldn't want a 20$ computer long term.
