The Dell(2014) has been a great model so far. Still fast and responsive and runs moderately cool. High fivers for the 3847 club!. When installing GPU, be careful though with the back black fastener for holding in the cards, pc components etc. It has broken on me, though not a big deal it will hold with an appropriate screw in the back brackets.
Thanks for this video! You helped me upgrade my dell 3847 with a gtx 1650 super, 16gb ram, new ssd drives, and new power supply. This video calmed my nerves and walked me through the process.
Glad I could help! please subscribe for future videos. make sure to watch the custom painting video i made for this desktop and all the other videos i did on this desktop for you to take your ideas to another level.
Thank you so much for this video! I got the exact PSU you have but I bought the GeForce GTX 1650 4GB PSU and I followed your video exactly to set everything up. One thing I wanted to note, when I tried turning on my pc it wouldn't turn on. I then connected the 4+4-pin EPS12V cable to the motherboard and my PC switched on. I just wanted to comment that here in case anyone is having problems when fitting the new PSU in and their PC not turning on, you actually have to connect the PSU to the motherboard otherwise it won't turn on! Anyway, thanks for the video!
Thank you so much for commenting this! I finished upgrading my old computer and was so confused as to why it wouldn’t turn on! This fixed it right away!
Just thought I'd add a bit of FYI. I wasn't going for a gamer machine but your channel led me to find what I needed. I just needed 3 monitors at the same time. Not fast, just 3. I did find one of the series you put in yours with 3 HDMI but that and a PS were above my budget at the time. I found a Geforce GT 710 that suited the purpose. No additional power needed. It seems to be one of the manufacturers that work in the Inspiron 3847. In my reading there are several that don't. Just thought I'd thank you for putting me on the right course to get what I needed! Thanks. ps. I will upgrade to the other at a later time. LOL
so pleased that it served you as intended. this motivates me to continue to create great video to help others. please subscribe and support my channel.
Nice guide man, I have the same 3847 with Thermaltake 600w PSU and GTX 550 Ti. My goal is to upgrade to 16GB (2x8GB) RAM, GTX 1060 6GB and maybe a sound card.
@@dash2355 The 3847 motherboard uses a LGA 1150 socket which can take an i7-4790k or i5-4690k. I don't think there would be much bottlenecking if they had either of those. Although this platform is aged at this point and this is maxed specs for it.
@@HernandezEliteGaming Question about this. If you currently have 8gb total...do you just replace the two 4gb with two 8gb? If so, do you have any recommendations?
Thanks for the video. I actually purchased both the graphics card and the power supply you used in the video for the same Dell Model. Which RAM do you suggest upgrading to?
A couple quick points worth mentioning here... 1. Those IDE connections on the PSU are molex connections for powering IDE drives, floppy drives, some scsi drives required them too if I'm not mistaken. They are also used on SD card conversions for older IDE based systems from the 90's and very early 2000's. 2. It's an easy mistake to make but you forgot to plug in the 4 pin processor power cable on the motherboard. It's 100% required to give the CPU enough power to operate. Again a simple mistake but thankfully one that's easy to fix. 3. The stock motherboards in these have the 1150 CPU socket so you can upgrade them to a 4790K series CPU and it will work. Dell doesn't list the 4790K as being compatible with the board, only the non-K 4790. But the K series chip WILL work and only draws 4 more watts worth of power so it won't overload the CPU socket. Granted you won't be able to overclock K series CPU's on the stock motherboards in these things but you'll still get a core clock speed increase over the non-K series chips. These systems are roughly based off of 9020 series Optiplex towers only with a stripped down more basic motherboard in them to reduce cost whereas the 9020 series is aimed more at the educational and enterprise market but carry a higher price tag due to them having more features. My aunt actually owns one of these 3847's which I just replaced the PSU on it after the barring on the fan inside the PSU started to fail. Was a pretty easy fix and she's happy again. So to anyone who happens to read this buy these older Dell's if you can. They are ridiculously easy to work on, pretty upgradable, and generally have a sold build quality. Plus because there are huge numbers of these things out there the Dell fans/support community is huge as well.
@@RashidAkira LMAO I have an RTX 2060 Super in mine, and what Klumzee states is somewhat true, in most (not all) games my CPU is at 100% but still have high framerate, the only game I can't seem to really play is Fortnite. At epic settings I get 144fps+ - ~ but every 10~ secs I get lag spikes. Don't know if it's my HDD or CPU since all other games are fine.
@@Brandon-uy1uv YESS you can, I have a Dell Inspiron 3847 and I swapped my motherboard into another case, but I should warn you that you need to transfer over the jumper cable that touches 3 pins onto your new case power button or else you won't get a signal on screen
I have a Inspiron 3847 that I upgraded into a budget gaming PC build. My 3847 was a thrift store purchase for about $20. Came with an OEM key for Windows 8 Pro, so I was able to update the PC to Windows 10 Pro for free. Today, I updated it to Windows 11 Pro, thanks to Rufus for eliminating the TPM and CPU checks in the installer ISO. Win11 Pro is activated and works very well on my PC so far. Now here's hoping the next Windows Update won't break it. I wound up not upgrading my PSU since it's 300 watts and met the GPU's requirements. Also replacing the hard drive with SSDs would help improve my power headroom. Upgrades: CPU: from a Core i3 to a Core i7-4770K RAM: from 4 GB to a matched pair of 8 GB for 16 GB in DDR3 GPU: from Intel chipset graphics to a GTX1650 OC Fixed Disk: from a 500 GB 7200 RPM hard disk to a 1TB WD Blue SATA SSD. Also added a 500 GB SSD for caches and file storage. Wireless: upgraded from the wireless N card to an Intel 7260 Wireless AC with Bluetooth 4.0 Optical Drives: added a second Panasonic SW830 since I do deal with optical media.
@@HernandezEliteGaming Haven't had a chance to try it yet. Right now, I'm downloading Fortnite to give it a shot. Not a bad way to start, though it ought to run that game fairly well.
Hey my friend! I was curious if you still had this computer? I was wondering how it has preformed long term? I have one as well I wanted to upgrade wasn't sure where exactly to start. Was thinking ssd and ram?
hi. to be honest this is one of the most long term desktop I have ever used. it fact in one my first business over a thousand invested standard configuration from dell back in 2019. i used it until 2021 until later I sold it and decided to go with custom building one. during my time with it many upgrades were done and videos are found on the channel. if you are leaning towards gaming with it for sure get at least a rtx 2060 graphics card in it so you play under the RTX architeture. if is also suitable for business such as adobe and microsoft etc. upgrade the memory to the max of 16gb for sure regardless. and last thing I did was remove the mechanical drive and then added the western digital SATA ssd in replacement using a 3.5 to 2.5 bracket and get it here amzn.to/3qPlVfA. the video description will have all the products i recommend for the desktop. from the i7 processor to the corsair memory to the ssd from wd. you may even try replacing the cpy cooler too with a model like the vortex.
hi. the 1050 ti was a starting point in graphics at the time. if you want something a bit better for a few more dollars and not need to go beyond recommended you may then want to consider the nvidia 2060 rtx card.
Hi. Thanks for stopping by. Good question. I recommend at least a 500 watt popower supply. Please look at the video description for one i recommend. Don't forget to subscribe to channel and like the video.
Thanks for stopping by to watch the video please don't forget to subscribe and hid the notification bell. In regards to your question I believe is should fit as long as the case offers about 9" of space in terms of length. To be sure of this get a tape measure and measure side to side how long is in space inside your case.
Hi man, total newbie here! I have this same model and want to upgrade it just so I can play warzone with my friends and red dead redemption 2, I'm willing to spend around $1500 (including RAM and power supply) but I'm totally clueless as to which graphics card to buy, any recommendation would be welcome, my objective is to build the PC so it lasts a good amount of time before upgrading again, great video man, subscribed and shared!
Hi. Thanks for watching. My recommendation is at least the gtx 1050 ti. With this graphic card the game graphic settings need to be low. But if you want it to play fast while getting the best graphics then consider at least a rtx 2060 card. In addition I recommend upgrading memory to 16gb max. In addition to the i7 processor. Anything less than these recommendation it will not run well. All these products are listed on the video description. Let me know if any other questions
Can I fit a 9.53 inch card in this? (243mm). I want to install the RX570 in here but I am not sure whether it will fit or not. I can't find the small form 229mm used version of the card on ebay, so I am not sure whether I should spend the money on the 243mm variants or not.
totally agree. these power supplies really offer a unique cable management idea. connect what you need as you go and not the cables not in use. for an overall cleaner case. That is why I love my Cooler Master Watt 750 and you can find it at amzn.to/2JhOb8H
I have a 1060 6 gb in mine now but it is finally time to up the processor. I have had this gaming rig for 5 years almost. You have to force the card in but it will fit750 watt supply with 16 gig of ram in mine.
glad you decided to upgrade it to and put it to a good use. I liked the case design since day one and so it motivated me to upgrade too. subscribe for future gaming videos.
I wonder why that smaller die on the bottom right doesn't have a heatsink on it? There are even two holes, which looks like you could fit a small heatsink or fan over it?
great question. the idea with my upgrade to customize the desktop for gaming for SIMPLE. Adding a video card and a power supply. of course there are other customization you can do but it was not thoughtout at the time of video.
hi. thanks for stopping by and watching the video. sorry for responding late I had hundreds to look over before getting to yours lol. please subscribe to support my channel.
yes and no. considering how affordable these cpu coolers are now I made a suggestion to upgrade to a 90mm to a 120mm cpu cooler to provide the processor more cooler temp. i recommend this one at amazon amzn.to/33nwITC
thanks for posting a comment and for stopping by the channel. its recommended to respond to comments you post to keep the community active. and please subscribe to channel to support my content.
you are not lying dude. I had it for years like you and it worked like a charm. and I kept it for so long due to the upgrades I did overtime such as memory and graphics and custom painting etc. please go look in the channel other videos I did on this desktop. I eventually sold it to a customer and moved onto custom builds and alienware so please subscribe for those videos.
I believe so as long as the video card is about 9" is should fit inside the case. I added a video card model to the video description that you can go check out and is within the length of the 1050TI that I used.
Hernandez EliteGaming i have a regular 500 gb hdd in my system and jus bought a ssd i want to keep my games on the hdd and just install the os on the ssd what do i do?
@@marcoxtv6854 hi. Good question. Well on something like this you have 2 options. First you can get super technical and clone your original drive to your ssd drive using sophisticated software and alot of back and forth. Don't recommend that option if you not into complicated tech steps. My most organized recommendation is to do a new windows installation and during the wizard choose the ssd drive. Once windows is loaded then firmat your existing drive. Your next step is to now open the disk management inside control panel under administrative tools. Change letters on your old drive to d for data or g for games. Whatever you want. Now that those things are done begin to install games on your d/g drive. Then begin to install your apps in the new ssd c drive. Done.
I have a question: isn't there a problem with this build because the Graphics card that has a pci slot of 3.0 x16 doesn't fit in the motherboard (which has a pci slot of 2.0 x16)?
Interesting question. This type and most Graphic cards require pci-express. Not typically connected to the regular pci slots. Lastly there is about a 9.5 inches wide in space so any card within that size should fit in this case. All recommended products are listed on the video description.
Great question. Glad you liked it. I believe it would fit. To confirm, please go to 1050 ti card using Amazon link on thr description. When you there scroll to the end and look at product dimension.
So I want to upgrade this model I don’t know much about computers but I wanted to know if the rx580 could fit in the case and work with the rest of the computer.
thanks for stopping by. please subscribe to the channel and hit the notification bell. lots of gaming videos are coming up. For your information: you may use any video card that supports PCIe and that the total length is about 9 inches. Based on the manufactures details on the rx580 yes and no depending on the design. for example some rx580 design models are over 10 inches. However I found one that is within 9.53 inches which is in fact .53 inches more than the 1050 ti. however there seems to be about 1-2 more inches left so I believe that it will fit. Here is the one I found that is the smallest yet a great design amzn.to/2U4AEUu before buying it I recommend you open your case and meassure it from wall to back to make sure the 9.53 inches in length will fit I believe it will.
hi. as long as the case configurations are the same as the 3847 model than you should be able to fit the same hardware found on the video I created. please do not hesitate to ask other questions and like the video plus subscribe for future content on this model.
great model you got. thanks for stopping by the channel. please subscribe abd hit the notification bell. lots of gaming videos coming up. back to your question friend. YES you need to purchase on the minimum the 500W EVGA I recommended which is listed on the video description. Then Purchase the 1050 Ti I recommended which is also listed. I believe that your i5 and 12gb memory should be sufficient for your gaming. make sure to use geforce experience to optimize your game graphic settings so it optimizes based on your hardware.
hi. I have sold the desktop. i am sorry can't. i am happy to explain how though. if you look at the video description you will see a link to the wd 1tb ssd. go for a 2tb if you like. then get this bracket amzn.to/3qPlVfA to convert the 3.5 size with the 2.5 ssd mentioned. go ahead by removing the 3.5 mechanical hard drive that came with it and swap with the steps I just mentioned.
shouldove added either more ram because that thing has like about 8gb of ram which for gaming, is not very much. but the 1050ti and that 500w psu does go well with the original system
hello. Good point. YES I recommend at least 16GB of RAM for Gaming/Business and at least 8GB for Business Alone. I found a compatible 16GB Kit on amazon at amzn.to/39LqPU2
That is pretty good ram but the only downside is that it is ddr3, maybe if you get a ddr4 supported motherboard like I would recommend a x99 motherboard, I have one myself and it also works great on my hackintosh, the WiFi works same with the audio, the Bluetooth does not work no matter what motherboard you have, you need to get like a macOS supported dongle for Bluetooth, and you will need a and gpu, I would recommend if you have a budget the rx 580 8 gb not the 4 gb one. But anyway thanks for replying and have a nice day!
hi. no. adding a video card takes primary role on display. meaning the display options on the board will not work. you will only be able to use the connections on the graphics card
hi. my information indicates it should fit. most 1050 ti models regardless on the third party company are designed with a compact factor. and they should all be less than 9.50 inches. which by the way the case can support upto almost 10 inches so as long as is shorter you good.
hi. there are graphics card like the 1050 ti models that do not require a new power supply. however other graphics card will require a power supply due to its power 4-8 pin connector. i recommend the 500watts I installed on the minimum and you can find it at amzn.to/2JoaPN5
hi. your best choice is to remove the hard drive bay enclosure. cut it off from inside the case. then route a solid state drive inside the second optical dvd drive spot.
Hi. They do not come with graphics. You will need to purchase a power supply. Video card. Memory and processor if needed to maximize gaming experience. Look at the links reference on the video description.
So this is exactly what I want to do to my PC. Same Dell. My specs: Windows 10, Core i5, 3.10GHz, 8 GB RAM, Intel® HD Graphics 4600. Questions: All I want to play is Call of Duty Warfare and I want to pay no more than $200..What do you recommend?? Do I NEED TO update the power supply??
Hi. good question. Modern Warfare require a lot of memory and video power. I recommend to upgrade the memory from 8gb to the max of 16gb at least using this bundle sense is designed for gaming amzn.to/2TCtF5B and lastly I think the video card 1050 ti on the minimum here amzn.to/2WAHW16. You may be close to the $300 but is well worth it. I would expect the game to work great on optimal graphics settings with at least these 2 upgrades. keep the i5 you have as is. keep your power supply as is if is a 300-400w. You may need to however get the power supply too but test it out after you have upgraded memory and graphics card.
Molex power connections are what they called them. Regarding GPU with no power connection required reason is it doesnt need power from PSU because PC is low profile.
Hi, very helpful video thannks. The fan in my power supply box is vibrating like crazy. Is it possible to just replace the fan inside that box without damaging anything else in the box or being shocked by a capacitor (or whatever) stores electricity in certain electronics? Im not doing any additional changes. Thanks alot
Yes you can. the strategy is to purchase a 120mm fan. then open the power supply and unscrew the fan inside. then cut off the cables and attach the new one. use black electrical tape. and screw back on and close it. I have done it before and it worked fine. amzn.to/2PRjjiW
great question there. the evga design shown on the video actually has no need for the power pin option. Most video cards do require it though but not this one. One thing to keep in mind is that you still recommended to add a 500 power supply regardless if is connected or not.
glad you noticed what others have as well. It seems as if I had forgotten a power cable. In fact yes but not intentional. You see this 1050 ti video card has a unique evga design that the power connector was removed. As far as board and components all that was connected during video or after. I do love how the acx design intention was ro remove that connector and integrate it all together. Get it here before they run out of them amzn.to/2Q1KOTY
thanks for posting a comment and for stopping by the channel. its recommended to respond to comments you post to keep the community active. and please subscribe to channel to support my content.
hi. yes the front panel may give you a problem considering how is wired. more so if you use a newer board. however if you get a motherboard that indicates which cable is which. and also pull the manuals on dell 3847 motherboard so you know which pin is which then you may be ok. ultimately i do not recommend it. i do however recommend to maximize the pc with memory. processor. ssd not mechanical etc. it runs really well.
it should be displaying fine. Make sure all components like the hard drive and the motherboard are powered. if computer turns on but no display let say then it may be a pcie problem where is not inserted all the way in or is dust so needs to be blown off. get a pressure air can found on amazon at amzn.to/2VakBow and use it to clean your connectors and then try reinserting it and rebooting.
@@ekasmain225 i was getting ready to respond lol. The same thing I was going to say that it may be too long. based on the size of the 1050 ti I installed. you need to stay within 9-10 in length. anything closer to 10 or higher will not fit. do you rather get the readon or are you ok with nvidia?
@@ekasmain225 you could always consider a similar type card in terms of hardware yet a different design. check this one out from nvidia amzn.to/2vFv0iw or this one amzn.to/2wgEv7S
@@HernandezEliteGaming I know what are u about, still i am arleady onwer of rx570 asus strix oc (4gb) so i cant rly buy anything else I think i can fit it but then i cant close this blue thing to make it stable, im gonna just make it otherway like iwth some screw or idk Propably tommorow going for new PSU to complete this task :p
hi. thanks for stopping by and watching the video. sorry for responding late I had hundreds to look over before getting to yours lol. if you still need a power supply I recommend the evga 600 bronze found at amzn.to/2JeUk68
hi. thanks for stopping by and watching the video. sorry for responding late I had hundreds to look over before getting to yours lol. please subscribe to support my channel. yes to your question.
hi. yes. in fact this setup played call of duty modern warfare. battlefield v. counter strike. ghost recon. well at optimized settings with nvidia geforce application. all the products mentioned on the video are listed inside the video description
Good question. in fact no the 11 inch graphic cards are too long for this case. I tested the 9.3 inches and they fit ok and there is estimated to be another 5 inches of space available. I do have a method if needed to make longer cards fit and that is to remove the hard drives bay area off the case, doing this will allow more space for the card to fit long way. Then my only recommendation if you go this route for the hard drive would be to use one of the cdrom bay spots for mounting the hard drive using some sort of bracket that is compatible with hardrives/cdroms. please like the video and subscribe for future content on this model.
hey dude. in fact yes it run on a pretty fast intel i3, or i5, or i7 processors. as long as you are using the average like i5 with 8gb of ram you should be able to handle it at the recommended settings. however if you go for the 16gb of ram and you have the i7 processor than you can for sure run anything on it from office applications to adobe tools to music editing software. all the products recommended compatible for this model are listed on the video description. please like the video and do not forget to subscribe.
no. i connected to card and windows automatically detected the hardware and provided basic video drivers. I then went to nvidia website and download the experience application plus drivers.
I'm glad that you liked the video and found it helpful thanks for stopping by and commenting on it. I know about the static concern but a had already released all the power from the board before the video so we're safe there lol.
hi. thanks for stopping by and watching the video. sorry for responding late I had hundreds to look over before getting to yours lol. please subscribe to support my channel. to respond to your question the 1050 ti card should run most games on high or medium settings no problem. only newer games requiring RTX may not
sounds like you missed the power cable that connects to the motherboard or the power supply you have is not sufficient to handle the graphics card. make sure to double check your wires basically.
Your video is good, butttttt... I myself installed an RTX 2080Ti card into this exact Dell Inspiron 3847 (I bought it in Dec 2014, Seattle USA), by removing the hard disk metal frames by force :D, and now I have > 13.5-inch space and it is more than enough for my RTX 2080Ti. I have to admit that removing the HDD's metal frames did take me a lot of efforts - the frames are not fixed to the outside case with any removable screws, they are fixed by rivets... so I used mid-sized pliers to force the rivet out of the case LMAO... i got hurt on one of my fingers, but it is a little one... (PS: I have i7-4790 + 16GB 1600MHz RAM DDR3 + 1TB 7200rpm HDD + RTX 2080Ti, no DVD, no other fancy parts... I need to say that with this, you can't maintain 300 FPS in Overwatch at "everything-lowest +100% rendering" settings. I can have 200-240 FPS fluctuating in real competitive matches. I believe this is due to the low frequency of my RAM. In order to maintain at 300 FPS, probably you will need 16GB RAM >3000MHz. My CPU is kind of enough. Kind of... I would still recommend using i7-8700k instead of something like i7-4790 or i7-7700k for maintaining your real FPS at around 300 FPS, because multicore performance is really important for maintaining at ultrahigh FPS.) Another important info I need to provide is that I upgraded the old PSU to a 630 Watt one (not 600W or 650W), and it is working very well. Don't trust those review videos on TH-cam which said that the RTX 2080Ti card must have a 750W PSU and shit... Now I tell you "No! 630W is good enough for me. So I think you can buy a 650W PSU for any single video card on the market now." Also, I always run my games at 300 FPS but at low graphics settings without any problem. I do this because I play competitive matches rather than quick plays, and I care about my SR rather than graphics effects. So if you want good image quality, your GTX or RTX will definitely have a higher power rate than mine, which will cause higher loading on your PSU. Then, will 650W PSU be enough??? Hard to tell, but I think if you don't run your RTX 2080Ti at >70% load, a 650W PSU will be good enough. The reason why the review videos on TH-cam said a 750W PSU is necessary for RTX 2080Ti is when the RTX 2080Ti is almost fully loaded when its power is much higher than its TDP (there are some tests saying that its power can reach as high as 400W at full load.) In my experience, I use "100% rendering + everything-lowest image quality + 300 FPS" setting in Overwatch, the RTX 2080Ti only has an 8%-12% load. At this low video card load, you don't need to worry about that a 650W PSU can't fulfill it...
great thoughts Jia. the initial idea with my upgrade was SIMPLE. Of course I could of done more. I could taking it further. I just wanted to add a video card and a power supply plus later add some cooling led fans and call it a day. If I want to customize it extremely then I would buy a custom case and move all the hardware from this desktop over and then take the case further.
hey there. thanks for stopping by. you welcome to find all the details on this card at amzn.to/2WAHW16 and there it will tell you the specs on it. please like the video and do not forget to subscribe for future content on this model and other gaming videos
@@gg-cc7gs rule of thumb is that it will not power on due to insufficient power. another it may short the board or a component due to lack of power. I do not recommend it.
Its not recommended but they do make power adapters and in your case with a 750 does it have 1 of the 4 pin power or 1 of 4pin and 1 of 3 pin? If its only one I'd say get the adapter if your on a budget
hi. the cheapest card that I tested allowing it to play decent games on 1080p was the nvidia 1050 ti gtx found here amzn.to/2WAHW16 or this one amzn.to/36WFXei and up to the nvidia 2060 rtx for more graphics found at amzn.to/34Lq7lF.
Hello. I have this same PC, i5 processor with the same power supply, 16gb ram, and an Evo 500 ssd. My old video card went out (it's a GTX 650) so I'm unsure what my options are for this particular build. I'm on a budget and would like to keep my 2 monitor display. Does this card support 2 displays? (I didn't see the 2nd slot correct me if I'm wrong though) If not is there a list of compatible cards that will support 2 for this build? (My 2nd monitor isn't hd capable like my primary is so it's going to run at a lower resolution) however the GeForce control panel helps with keeping it looking similar to the primary
hi. yes this 1050 ti card does offer 2 display option. 1 hdmi and 1 displayport. you just need adapters depending on your monitor. right now that card is sold out considering how good it was at the price it sold at. im actually selling the same card with red fan design on my store here hernandezaffordableproducts.com/shop/products/evga-nvidia-geforce-gtx-1050-ti-gddr5-ssc-acx-3-0-graphics-card/
Hey. Yes it will in fact. I do have to say that it worked well without lagging on 1080p and settings most of them on normal. Graphics looked good. However when I tried to maximize the graphics settings it lagged a bit. For the most part it ran great though in a full multiplayer game.
I currently have that desktop and decided to go for a i5-4690, but I also wanted to get a better cooler for the cpu. the cpu cooler you recommend is unavailable, any other coolers that will work for the desktop?
hi. glad you upgraded to the i5 at least. assuming you had i3? alright so yes you right the vortex cooler sold out hehe. I did fine one model that is also a low profile to fit well inside the case. also a cooler master product. go shop on amazon at amzn.to/36TogMJ
@@HernandezEliteGaming oh, I forgot to update the comment. Instead of going for the i5-5690, I went for the i7-4790. Thank you soo much of finding a different cooler for the pc, I've been worried about high temperatures and all of that when upgrading the cpu. I'll get that once I can and I'll update you with the results
hi. maybe is the gpu. or the limit in power. for example as long as you have plenty of power. the actual voltage does not matter. for example if your system requires 400w and you have a 750w it will not have a problem. you have what is required. however the other way around is different. if the gpu requires power and the system has less it will have a problem. another thing i find too is the other components installed may be causing a power short.
hi. thanks for stopping by and watching the video. sorry for responding late I had hundreds to look over before getting to yours lol. you have to measure your case. the video card mentioned in this video is a 9.15 inches card so as long as your case is about 10 inches you are good.
hi. all you need to do is remove the screw holding it in place at the rear side of the case. then on the board pcie connector there is a pin lock. push it down to release the card. then pull it upwards for it to come out. make sure whatever cable is connected to it is disconnected to. assuming is not a card you need. you welcome to connect your monitor to the included vga or hdmi on your motherboard. reboot pc.
Hi. Thanks for stopping by to share your thoughts. Yes and no on your comment. Initially when I ordered the video card I also ordered the power supply. I'm use to needing to needing to connect a power cable to video cards. It's just the rule of thumb. I later realized that yes i may get away without a power supply. After researching the power requirements on the overall components i calculated that everything was almost using the original 300 watts. Considering i was also interested in adding a cooler unit and led lights also new dvd drives plus 2 hard drives which is not covered in this video is why i thought it was smart to in fact replace it.
Hi. The original power on the psu is 300w. The 1050 ti model doesn't require you to install a new power supply. I only did so because i had plans for future components.
Hi. Great video. I have a doubt. Have you tried installing an Nvme? I see that there is a network card and I thought it could be replaced by an Nvme. Nice day.
Hi. Thanks for watching. You have a good question. To be honest I never bothered since it had the wifi board on it. Now that you mention it I'm going to look into that connecting. I do believe that if is compatible with nvme is worth using over the wifi.
hi. glad you asked. I did list a low entry rtx model for this computer. You will need a power supply though too. that ius the evga rtx 2060 compact dual fan design. the link is listed on the video description.
hey man i really wanna sk i bought a r7 260x and i installed the gpu it just does not detect the gpu ( i also did a psu swap and everything turns on) but the pc does not detect the gpu and the slot is completely fine and i am wondering whats the problem could it be the pc does not accept amd gpus?
Interesting.. If all factors check out OK. It could be a no AMD unit. Even though that sounds strange by itself. I would say to clean both GPU and pci connections with rubbing alcohol. Then check all power cables are pushed in all the way
Hey there, I have a basic Dell Inspiron 3847, my power supply died. So I was watching videos about fixing them myself. When I came across this. My question is with everything being basic Dell manufacturer. Can this set up work? Just the power supply and the graphics card 1050. Plus what size and style did you use? Also mine is i5 processor.
hi. if you have at least 8gb or memory. and you said you have the i5 processor. yes that's it with just a power supply and video card as shown in the video so click on the links you find in the description to go buy the product you need. one thing to keep in mind though is that its always better to go faster for some games not all and if you have just a few bucks to spend then I recommend you upgrade the i5 cpu to the i7 cpu. then upgrade your memory to the max which is 8gbx2=16gb. Intel i7-4790 Processor amzn.to/38Fn3rc and then Corsair Vengeance 16GB Desktop Memory amzn.to/2TCtF5B
as your lowest entry point you just need a nvidia gtx 1050 ti graphics card. I listed two on the video description one being the evga one I used and the other a gigabyte model. using an i5 processor and at least 8gb of memory you will be able to play some games not all and others at low settings and others on high so is going to depend. however you can invest a bit more and purchase the corsair memory I listed to maximize it to 16gb and then the i7 processor I listed to get the latest cores. in addition you add the rtx 2060 evga card you are golden. This will cost you a few hundred dollars but is better than spending close to a thousand or two for the same specs on a newer case. this is considered when wanting to preserve the hardware you already have.
My friend got this PC for free and said he wants to play GTA V on it (he has no idea about PCs) nearly jumped out of my seat when i saw the CPU this thing is rocking and it comes with 16GB of RAM
yes this pc is upgradable and is pretty decent for gaming. GTA is not a graphics sucking game so a basic video card like a GTX or RTX will handle it find. also using a 8GB is enough for gaming but if so pc used for programs too then 16GB
I'm wondering if there's another reliable site to get an EVGA Geforce GTX 1050ti in British Columbia, Surrey BC, as Amazon is saying that my location can't be shipped there.
hi. that is a great question. you are international and amazon and ebay or other retailers are united states companies which normally products like this do not ship to canada. Sorry I cannot find a retailer that ships to that location. I would be happy to sell you mine for $280 and I buy myself another more expensive to help you?
@@HernandezEliteGaming That'd be great. I'm just in a thought process right now. I saw your video and it's a great build for someone who has the same PC and hasn't owned a high-end PC. What I'm curious about, what are the games that this PC build would satisfy? I play typically Fortnite so if it's able to satisfy that and be able to play some other games that I happen to want to play, I'd be more than happy to go for it. And for like the build process, I don't need to backup anything right? Just need to do whatever you did on the video? Sorry for asking too much, that's all for what I'm curious about.
@@longvuong7942 yes. fornite. call of duty. battlefield. ghost recon breakpoint. all these games play well in high graphic settings. fornite would just be like putting icing on the cake.
@@longvuong7942 hi. well I checked retailers and this special card I have is like new condition and is on high demand. Selling at over $350 in most places. I can sell it to you for $320 including Priority Mail Shipping. Or would you be interested in buying an entire desktop for gaming at $1,200 which includes this card. check out the complete desktop setup here hernandezaffordableproducts.com/shop/products/gaming-dell-inspiron-3847-desktop-using-windows-10-pro-on-intel-i-7-cpu-with-geforce-1050-ti-graphics-and-16gb-of-memory-plus-3tb-wd-solid-state-drive/
So I have this exact PC and I put it in that exact graphics card in as well. However, I have a 300W power supply (what it came with I believe?), When I run games my CPU goes to 100 % usage usually and I get stutters so do you suspect it is cuz of my power supply and that needs an upgrade or I need to upgrade the CPU (curr CPU is i5 4460 @3.20ghz) or uh both lol. sorry if these are very noobie questions lol idk what im talking about. I justt have one HDD as well 12 GB DDR3 two sticks of RAM
Omg thanks for uploading this man! We have definitely the same models and will be doing the same thing!
The Dell(2014) has been a great model so far. Still fast and responsive and runs moderately cool. High fivers for the 3847 club!. When installing GPU, be careful though with the back black fastener for holding in the cards, pc components etc. It has broken on me, though not a big deal it will hold with an appropriate screw in the back brackets.
hi. thanks for sharing and glad you liked it. I got more customizations on this model coming. so subscribe.
YES. @@checksandbalences very carefully everyone. I recommend locking it with a screw regardless and then closing the fastener
Same
Lol I have one to
Thanks for this video! You helped me upgrade my dell 3847 with a gtx 1650 super, 16gb ram, new ssd drives, and new power supply. This video calmed my nerves and walked me through the process.
Glad I could help! please subscribe for future videos. make sure to watch the custom painting video i made for this desktop and all the other videos i did on this desktop for you to take your ideas to another level.
Thank you so much for this video! I got the exact PSU you have but I bought the GeForce GTX 1650 4GB PSU and I followed your video exactly to set everything up.
One thing I wanted to note, when I tried turning on my pc it wouldn't turn on. I then connected the 4+4-pin EPS12V cable to the motherboard and my PC switched on. I just wanted to comment that here in case anyone is having problems when fitting the new PSU in and their PC not turning on, you actually have to connect the PSU to the motherboard otherwise it won't turn on!
Anyway, thanks for the video!
comment noted. thanks for stopping by and glad video helped. I have more gaming customization content coming up so please like video and subscribe.
Thank you so much for commenting this! I finished upgrading my old computer and was so confused as to why it wouldn’t turn on! This fixed it right away!
Just thought I'd add a bit of FYI. I wasn't going for a gamer machine but your channel led me to find what I needed. I just needed 3 monitors at the same time. Not fast, just 3. I did find one of the series you put in yours with 3 HDMI but that and a PS were above my budget at the time. I found a Geforce GT 710 that suited the purpose. No additional power needed. It seems to be one of the manufacturers that work in the Inspiron 3847. In my reading there are several that don't. Just thought I'd thank you for putting me on the right course to get what I needed! Thanks. ps. I will upgrade to the other at a later time. LOL
so pleased that it served you as intended. this motivates me to continue to create great video to help others. please subscribe and support my channel.
Nice video Alain. This is a popular little machine, and this video breathes a ton of new life into it. Bravo!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you Hernandez....this is exactly what I have and exactly what I will need to do to upgrade this machine....I appreciate you posting this!
Glad I could help. please subscribe for future videos.
Nice guide man, I have the same 3847 with Thermaltake 600w PSU and GTX 550 Ti. My goal is to upgrade to 16GB (2x8GB) RAM, GTX 1060 6GB and maybe a sound card.
16gb memory is recommended.
What about Bottlenecking??
@@dash2355 The 3847 motherboard uses a LGA 1150 socket which can take an i7-4790k or i5-4690k. I don't think there would be much bottlenecking if they had either of those. Although this platform is aged at this point and this is maxed specs for it.
@@HernandezEliteGaming Question about this. If you currently have 8gb total...do you just replace the two 4gb with two 8gb? If so, do you have any recommendations?
This is exactly what I am trying to do. Thats so much for the help.

did u get a new power supply?
Yo i have the same pc but my question can I upgrade my gt 625 to a GTX 1050 ti without upgrading My PSU?
yes. no power supply is required using a 1050 TI.
A couple quick points worth mentioning here...
1. Those IDE connections on the PSU are molex connections for powering IDE drives, floppy drives, some scsi drives required them too if I'm not mistaken. They are also used on SD card conversions for older IDE based systems from the 90's and very early 2000's.
2. It's an easy mistake to make but you forgot to plug in the 4 pin processor power cable on the motherboard. It's 100% required to give the CPU enough power to operate. Again a simple mistake but thankfully one that's easy to fix.
3. The stock motherboards in these have the 1150 CPU socket so you can upgrade them to a 4790K series CPU and it will work. Dell doesn't list the 4790K as being compatible with the board, only the non-K 4790. But the K series chip WILL work and only draws 4 more watts worth of power so it won't overload the CPU socket. Granted you won't be able to overclock K series CPU's on the stock motherboards in these things but you'll still get a core clock speed increase over the non-K series chips.
These systems are roughly based off of 9020 series Optiplex towers only with a stripped down more basic motherboard in them to reduce cost whereas the 9020 series is aimed more at the educational and enterprise market but carry a higher price tag due to them having more features. My aunt actually owns one of these 3847's which I just replaced the PSU on it after the barring on the fan inside the PSU started to fail. Was a pretty easy fix and she's happy again. So to anyone who happens to read this buy these older Dell's if you can. They are ridiculously easy to work on, pretty upgradable, and generally have a sold build quality. Plus because there are huge numbers of these things out there the Dell fans/support community is huge as well.
thanks for sharing
@Henry. Question. Would a higher end GPU like the rtx 2060 would still work in this system?
@@RashidAkira LMAO I have an RTX 2060 Super in mine, and what Klumzee states is somewhat true, in most (not all) games my CPU is at 100% but still have high framerate, the only game I can't seem to really play is Fortnite. At epic settings I get 144fps+ - ~ but every 10~ secs I get lag spikes. Don't know if it's my HDD or CPU since all other games are fine.
could you tell me if I could do a case swap? Or is the motherboard non standard
@@Brandon-uy1uv YESS you can, I have a Dell Inspiron 3847 and I swapped my motherboard into another case, but I should warn you that you need to transfer over the jumper cable that touches 3 pins onto your new case power button or else you won't get a signal on screen
will a MSI GTX 1050ti OC work with dell inspiron 3847.
yes. any 1050 ti model will work fine. look at recommended products listed on the video description
@@HernandezEliteGaming THANKS a lot
I have a Inspiron 3847 that I upgraded into a budget gaming PC build. My 3847 was a thrift store purchase for about $20.
Came with an OEM key for Windows 8 Pro, so I was able to update the PC to Windows 10 Pro for free. Today, I updated it to Windows 11 Pro, thanks to Rufus for eliminating the TPM and CPU checks in the installer ISO. Win11 Pro is activated and works very well on my PC so far. Now here's hoping the next Windows Update won't break it.
I wound up not upgrading my PSU since it's 300 watts and met the GPU's requirements. Also replacing the hard drive with SSDs would help improve my power headroom.
Upgrades:
CPU: from a Core i3 to a Core i7-4770K
RAM: from 4 GB to a matched pair of 8 GB for 16 GB in DDR3
GPU: from Intel chipset graphics to a GTX1650 OC
Fixed Disk: from a 500 GB 7200 RPM hard disk to a 1TB WD Blue SATA SSD. Also added a 500 GB SSD for caches and file storage.
Wireless: upgraded from the wireless N card to an Intel 7260 Wireless AC with Bluetooth 4.0
Optical Drives: added a second Panasonic SW830 since I do deal with optical media.
that seems like a decent budget gaming system dude. how is it in games?
@@HernandezEliteGaming Haven't had a chance to try it yet. Right now, I'm downloading Fortnite to give it a shot. Not a bad way to start, though it ought to run that game fairly well.
@@Watcher3223 good. keep me posted if question so I may suggest ideas. I had that system for years and I kept it running good.
Hey my friend! I was curious if you still had this computer?
I was wondering how it has preformed long term? I have one as well I wanted to upgrade wasn't sure where exactly to start. Was thinking ssd and ram?
hi. to be honest this is one of the most long term desktop I have ever used. it fact in one my first business over a thousand invested standard configuration from dell back in 2019. i used it until 2021 until later I sold it and decided to go with custom building one. during my time with it many upgrades were done and videos are found on the channel. if you are leaning towards gaming with it for sure get at least a rtx 2060 graphics card in it so you play under the RTX architeture. if is also suitable for business such as adobe and microsoft etc. upgrade the memory to the max of 16gb for sure regardless. and last thing I did was remove the mechanical drive and then added the western digital SATA ssd in replacement using a 3.5 to 2.5 bracket and get it here amzn.to/3qPlVfA. the video description will have all the products i recommend for the desktop. from the i7 processor to the corsair memory to the ssd from wd. you may even try replacing the cpy cooler too with a model like the vortex.
I want to do the same cuz I got that exact inspiron model but that graphics card cant breathe
hi. the 1050 ti was a starting point in graphics at the time. if you want something a bit better for a few more dollars and not need to go beyond recommended you may then want to consider the nvidia 2060 rtx card.
I have a Dell Inspiron 3880 desktop computer and I'm not sure what is the best power supply to replace the 265 watt one that's built-in
Hi. Thanks for stopping by. Good question. I recommend at least a 500 watt popower supply. Please look at the video description for one i recommend. Don't forget to subscribe to channel and like the video.

how can I install rx 570 with power supply and external graphics card stand (Dock)like laptop no space but connect GPU externally
I love to help with that question but never done it that way so I can't respond. thanks for asking though lets hope someone else gives an answer
Can this card be fin in dell inspiron 660 tower as well ???
Thanks for stopping by to watch the video please don't forget to subscribe and hid the notification bell. In regards to your question I believe is should fit as long as the case offers about 9" of space in terms of length. To be sure of this get a tape measure and measure side to side how long is in space inside your case.
Hi man, total newbie here! I have this same model and want to upgrade it just so I can play warzone with my friends and red dead redemption 2, I'm willing to spend around $1500 (including RAM and power supply) but I'm totally clueless as to which graphics card to buy, any recommendation would be welcome, my objective is to build the PC so it lasts a good amount of time before upgrading again, great video man, subscribed and shared!
Hi. Thanks for watching. My recommendation is at least the gtx 1050 ti. With this graphic card the game graphic settings need to be low. But if you want it to play fast while getting the best graphics then consider at least a rtx 2060 card. In addition I recommend upgrading memory to 16gb max. In addition to the i7 processor. Anything less than these recommendation it will not run well. All these products are listed on the video description. Let me know if any other questions
What about the 4 Pin plug you pulled out and didn't replace on the motherboard?
This particular graphics card did not require it
Can I fit a 9.53 inch card in this? (243mm). I want to install the RX570 in here but I am not sure whether it will fit or not. I can't find the small form 229mm used version of the card on ebay, so I am not sure whether I should spend the money on the 243mm variants or not.
this case has about a 9inch length so the graphics card can't be too long because it will touch on the back. however plan B is to remove the bay tray
I have the same pc but no sounds does the motherboard has speaker or i need a sound card ?
hi. yes. as long as you connect speaker on the back of the tower sound should work and if not then check drivers.
@@HernandezEliteGaming cool man thanks
I would recommend a full modular power supply for people who want to upgrade the case eventually
totally agree. these power supplies really offer a unique cable management idea. connect what you need as you go and not the cables not in use. for an overall cleaner case. That is why I love my Cooler Master Watt 750 and you can find it at amzn.to/2JhOb8H
I have a 1060 6 gb in mine now but it is finally time to up the processor. I have had this gaming rig for 5 years almost. You have to force the card in but it will fit750 watt supply with 16 gig of ram in mine.
glad you decided to upgrade it to and put it to a good use. I liked the case design since day one and so it motivated me to upgrade too. subscribe for future gaming videos.

Can i put a rx570 in here what will i need to do

Hernandez EliteGaming i have a regular 500 gb hdd in my system and jus bought a ssd i want to keep my games on the hdd and just install the os on the ssd what do i do?
@@marcoxtv6854 hi. Good question. Well on something like this you have 2 options. First you can get super technical and clone your original drive to your ssd drive using sophisticated software and alot of back and forth. Don't recommend that option if you not into complicated tech steps. My most organized recommendation is to do a new windows installation and during the wizard choose the ssd drive. Once windows is loaded then firmat your existing drive. Your next step is to now open the disk management inside control panel under administrative tools. Change letters on your old drive to d for data or g for games. Whatever you want. Now that those things are done begin to install games on your d/g drive. Then begin to install your apps in the new ssd c drive. Done.
I have a question: isn't there a problem with this build because the Graphics card that has a pci slot of 3.0 x16 doesn't fit in the motherboard (which has a pci slot of 2.0 x16)?
Interesting question. This type and most Graphic cards require pci-express. Not typically connected to the regular pci slots. Lastly there is about a 9.5 inches wide in space so any card within that size should fit in this case. All recommended products are listed on the video description.
@@HernandezEliteGaming ok thanks
Can the cpu cooler be changed on this mate??

Great video also would a 9.13/232mm card fit in this pc ?
Great question. Glad you liked it. I believe it would fit. To confirm, please go to 1050 ti card using Amazon link on thr description. When you there scroll to the end and look at product dimension.
@@AlainHernandez the 1050 ti is 9 inches wide. I do believe that .13 should not be a problem.
So I want to upgrade this model I don’t know much about computers but I wanted to know if the rx580 could fit in the case and work with the rest of the computer.
Or like a r9 270X
thanks for stopping by. please subscribe to the channel and hit the notification bell. lots of gaming videos are coming up. For your information: you may use any video card that supports PCIe and that the total length is about 9 inches. Based on the manufactures details on the rx580 yes and no depending on the design. for example some rx580 design models are over 10 inches. However I found one that is within 9.53 inches which is in fact .53 inches more than the 1050 ti. however there seems to be about 1-2 more inches left so I believe that it will fit. Here is the one I found that is the smallest yet a great design amzn.to/2U4AEUu before buying it I recommend you open your case and meassure it from wall to back to make sure the 9.53 inches in length will fit I believe it will.

Could you do a video on how to install an SSD on a Dell Inspiron 3847
hi. I have sold the desktop. i am sorry can't. i am happy to explain how though. if you look at the video description you will see a link to the wd 1tb ssd. go for a 2tb if you like. then get this bracket amzn.to/3qPlVfA to convert the 3.5 size with the 2.5 ssd mentioned. go ahead by removing the 3.5 mechanical hard drive that came with it and swap with the steps I just mentioned.
Hi! I Just Noticed You Didn’t Plug The 4pin Motherboard Connector Is it necessary To Plug It In?
On this particular graphics card is not
shouldove added either more ram because that thing has like about 8gb of ram which for gaming, is not very much. but the 1050ti and that 500w psu does go well with the original system
hello. Good point. YES I recommend at least 16GB of RAM for Gaming/Business and at least 8GB for Business Alone. I found a compatible 16GB Kit on amazon at amzn.to/39LqPU2
That is pretty good ram but the only downside is that it is ddr3, maybe if you get a ddr4 supported motherboard like I would recommend a x99 motherboard, I have one myself and it also works great on my hackintosh, the WiFi works same with the audio, the Bluetooth does not work no matter what motherboard you have, you need to get like a macOS supported dongle for Bluetooth, and you will need a and gpu, I would recommend if you have a budget the rx 580 8 gb not the 4 gb one. But anyway thanks for replying and have a nice day!
if you put new video card in can you still use other video card that is in computer so u can run more screens.
hi. no. adding a video card takes primary role on display. meaning the display options on the board will not work. you will only be able to use the connections on the graphics card
Does the ASUS GeForce® GTX 1050 Ti Cerberus Advanced 4GB fits into the dell inspiron 3847 case?
hi. my information indicates it should fit. most 1050 ti models regardless on the third party company are designed with a compact factor. and they should all be less than 9.50 inches. which by the way the case can support upto almost 10 inches so as long as is shorter you good.
Show us the bench marks.
to time consuming. no need.
i have this wqondering if it could handel a 1660 super with the stock power supply
i just bought it and has a 1060 gtx in it and i bought a 1660 super was just wondering if i should get a new power supply
hi. there are graphics card like the 1050 ti models that do not require a new power supply. however other graphics card will require a power supply due to its power 4-8 pin connector. i recommend the 500watts I installed on the minimum and you can find it at amzn.to/2JoaPN5
Hey man I bought a different graphics card but it’s an inch too long how can I get it to fit in the case?
hi. your best choice is to remove the hard drive bay enclosure. cut it off from inside the case. then route a solid state drive inside the second optical dvd drive spot.
hi i was going to install an evga super nova 750 g2 but the dell power supply says combined wattage is 150 will that fry my computer ?
Hi. It's recommended to use a 500w higher power supply
I have this pc and it don’t even got a graphics card in it....
Hi. They do not come with graphics. You will need to purchase a power supply. Video card. Memory and processor if needed to maximize gaming experience. Look at the links reference on the video description.
adding a graphics is recommended for gaming

So this is exactly what I want to do to my PC. Same Dell. My specs: Windows 10, Core i5, 3.10GHz, 8 GB RAM, Intel® HD Graphics 4600.
Questions: All I want to play is Call of Duty Warfare and I want to pay no more than $200..What do you recommend?? Do I NEED TO update the power supply??
Hi. good question. Modern Warfare require a lot of memory and video power. I recommend to upgrade the memory from 8gb to the max of 16gb at least using this bundle sense is designed for gaming amzn.to/2TCtF5B and lastly I think the video card 1050 ti on the minimum here amzn.to/2WAHW16. You may be close to the $300 but is well worth it. I would expect the game to work great on optimal graphics settings with at least these 2 upgrades. keep the i5 you have as is. keep your power supply as is if is a 300-400w. You may need to however get the power supply too but test it out after you have upgraded memory and graphics card.
Molex power connections are what they called them. Regarding GPU with no power connection required reason is it doesnt need power from PSU because PC is low profile.
there is some truth to that on the GTX 1050 Ti not needing power.
Hi, very helpful video thannks. The fan in my power supply box is vibrating like crazy. Is it possible to just replace the fan inside that box without damaging anything else in the box or being shocked by a capacitor (or whatever) stores electricity in certain electronics? Im not doing any additional changes. Thanks alot
Yes you can. the strategy is to purchase a 120mm fan. then open the power supply and unscrew the fan inside. then cut off the cables and attach the new one. use black electrical tape. and screw back on and close it. I have done it before and it worked fine. amzn.to/2PRjjiW
what cpu is in there?
hello. inside this pc I have an i7 processor. which is the latest you can upgrade to on this motherboard. its listed on video description.
You unplugged the PWR2 ATX4 connector from the motherboard and never connected anything there. What was PWR2’s function?
i did not understand the question sorry
mine has a 500 w psu with no pin connectors, does this card not need any connectors?
great question there. the evga design shown on the video actually has no need for the power pin option. Most video cards do require it though but not this one. One thing to keep in mind is that you still recommended to add a 500 power supply regardless if is connected or not.
So do we plug anything into the card
glad you noticed what others have as well. It seems as if I had forgotten a power cable. In fact yes but not intentional. You see this 1050 ti video card has a unique evga design that the power connector was removed. As far as board and components all that was connected during video or after. I do love how the acx design intention was ro remove that connector and integrate it all together. Get it here before they run out of them amzn.to/2Q1KOTY

Question can I put a new motherboard in this case with a i5 10th gen or is the front panel cables going to be a problem?
hi. yes the front panel may give you a problem considering how is wired. more so if you use a newer board. however if you get a motherboard that indicates which cable is which. and also pull the manuals on dell 3847 motherboard so you know which pin is which then you may be ok. ultimately i do not recommend it. i do however recommend to maximize the pc with memory. processor. ssd not mechanical etc. it runs really well.
can i put a gtx 1650 without upgrading the psu and let the original 300watt. it will work fine without probleme ?
if the 1650 does not require a power pin then yes you are fine.
@@HernandezEliteGaming ok one more question does it fit a gtx 1650 phoenix or tuf on it or i need a smaller model?
i cant get my gpu to show in the dispay adapters and i am trying to see if the PCIE is disabled but in the BIOS there is no such setting, help?!
it should be displaying fine. Make sure all components like the hard drive and the motherboard are powered. if computer turns on but no display let say then it may be a pcie problem where is not inserted all the way in or is dust so needs to be blown off. get a pressure air can found on amazon at amzn.to/2VakBow and use it to clean your connectors and then try reinserting it and rebooting.

So i bought and rx570 and it turns out its too long for this case XXDDD
@@ekasmain225 i was getting ready to respond lol. The same thing I was going to say that it may be too long. based on the size of the 1050 ti I installed. you need to stay within 9-10 in length. anything closer to 10 or higher will not fit. do you rather get the readon or are you ok with nvidia?
@@HernandezEliteGaming its sad cuz i've arleady got this AMD and yeah it is too long, but i think i can fit it perfectly somehow

Can I put an 11” rx 570 in it? Or is it too big
Good question. in fact no the 11 inch graphic cards are too long for this case. I tested the 9.3 inches and they fit ok and there is estimated to be another 5 inches of space available. I do have a method if needed to make longer cards fit and that is to remove the hard drives bay area off the case, doing this will allow more space for the card to fit long way. Then my only recommendation if you go this route for the hard drive would be to use one of the cdrom bay spots for mounting the hard drive using some sort of bracket that is compatible with hardrives/cdroms. please like the video and subscribe for future content on this model.
Bro would the latest model 3000 be good for music production and casual gaming might get on amazon please help thanks
hey dude. in fact yes it run on a pretty fast intel i3, or i5, or i7 processors. as long as you are using the average like i5 with 8gb of ram you should be able to handle it at the recommended settings. however if you go for the 16gb of ram and you have the i7 processor than you can for sure run anything on it from office applications to adobe tools to music editing software. all the products recommended compatible for this model are listed on the video description. please like the video and do not forget to subscribe.
@@HernandezEliteGaming cheers for the help bro
did you have to use the onboard graphics to get your drivers for the 1050ti before you plugged the hdmi into the card to get video from the card?
no. i connected to card and windows automatically detected the hardware and provided basic video drivers. I then went to nvidia website and download the experience application plus drivers.
Awesome , you answered a question on a year old vid. Cool, thanks

Hi my pc won’t turn on I connected all the cables it’s turns on and off quick and just keeps doing that ? What did I do wrong?
sounds like you missed the power cable that connects to the motherboard or the power supply you have is not sufficient to handle the graphics card. make sure to double check your wires basically.
Your video is good, butttttt... I myself installed an RTX 2080Ti card into this exact Dell Inspiron 3847 (I bought it in Dec 2014, Seattle USA), by removing the hard disk metal frames by force :D, and now I have > 13.5-inch space and it is more than enough for my RTX 2080Ti. I have to admit that removing the HDD's metal frames did take me a lot of efforts - the frames are not fixed to the outside case with any removable screws, they are fixed by rivets... so I used mid-sized pliers to force the rivet out of the case LMAO... i got hurt on one of my fingers, but it is a little one...
(PS: I have i7-4790 + 16GB 1600MHz RAM DDR3 + 1TB 7200rpm HDD + RTX 2080Ti, no DVD, no other fancy parts... I need to say that with this, you can't maintain 300 FPS in Overwatch at "everything-lowest +100% rendering" settings. I can have 200-240 FPS fluctuating in real competitive matches. I believe this is due to the low frequency of my RAM. In order to maintain at 300 FPS, probably you will need 16GB RAM >3000MHz. My CPU is kind of enough. Kind of... I would still recommend using i7-8700k instead of something like i7-4790 or i7-7700k for maintaining your real FPS at around 300 FPS, because multicore performance is really important for maintaining at ultrahigh FPS.)
Another important info I need to provide is that I upgraded the old PSU to a 630 Watt one (not 600W or 650W), and it is working very well. Don't trust those review videos on TH-cam which said that the RTX 2080Ti card must have a 750W PSU and shit... Now I tell you "No! 630W is good enough for me. So I think you can buy a 650W PSU for any single video card on the market now."
Also, I always run my games at 300 FPS but at low graphics settings without any problem. I do this because I play competitive matches rather than quick plays, and I care about my SR rather than graphics effects. So if you want good image quality, your GTX or RTX will definitely have a higher power rate than mine, which will cause higher loading on your PSU. Then, will 650W PSU be enough??? Hard to tell, but I think if you don't run your RTX 2080Ti at >70% load, a 650W PSU will be good enough. The reason why the review videos on TH-cam said a 750W PSU is necessary for RTX 2080Ti is when the RTX 2080Ti is almost fully loaded when its power is much higher than its TDP (there are some tests saying that its power can reach as high as 400W at full load.) In my experience, I use "100% rendering + everything-lowest image quality + 300 FPS" setting in Overwatch, the RTX 2080Ti only has an 8%-12% load. At this low video card load, you don't need to worry about that a 650W PSU can't fulfill it...
great thoughts Jia. the initial idea with my upgrade was SIMPLE. Of course I could of done more. I could taking it further. I just wanted to add a video card and a power supply plus later add some cooling led fans and call it a day. If I want to customize it extremely then I would buy a custom case and move all the hardware from this desktop over and then take the case further.
What’s the max legend that for a graphics card
hey there. thanks for stopping by. you welcome to find all the details on this card at amzn.to/2WAHW16 and there it will tell you the specs on it. please like the video and do not forget to subscribe for future content on this model and other gaming videos
I have the same pc. Do I need to change power supply for a GTX 750ti?
yes. all graphics card added to the computer will require a new power supply.
@@HernandezEliteGaming What if I don't get a power supply because I'm on a budget? Will anything bad happen?
@@gg-cc7gs rule of thumb is that it will not power on due to insufficient power. another it may short the board or a component due to lack of power. I do not recommend it.
Its not recommended but they do make power adapters and in your case with a 750 does it have 1 of the 4 pin power or 1 of 4pin and 1 of 3 pin? If its only one I'd say get the adapter if your on a budget
I got the power supply but I’m thinking of buying a different graphics card. Do you know any other graphics card that could fit in the 3847?
Yes they are. Here is a 570 model I recommend with similar specs and should fit the case pci e slot amzn.to/2vEls7c
What’s the best cheap graphics card I’m trying to start playing on my pc more
hi. the cheapest card that I tested allowing it to play decent games on 1080p was the nvidia 1050 ti gtx found here amzn.to/2WAHW16 or this one amzn.to/36WFXei and up to the nvidia 2060 rtx for more graphics found at amzn.to/34Lq7lF.
Hello. I have this same PC, i5 processor with the same power supply, 16gb ram, and an Evo 500 ssd. My old video card went out (it's a GTX 650) so I'm unsure what my options are for this particular build. I'm on a budget and would like to keep my 2 monitor display. Does this card support 2 displays? (I didn't see the 2nd slot correct me if I'm wrong though) If not is there a list of compatible cards that will support 2 for this build? (My 2nd monitor isn't hd capable like my primary is so it's going to run at a lower resolution) however the GeForce control panel helps with keeping it looking similar to the primary
hi. yes this 1050 ti card does offer 2 display option. 1 hdmi and 1 displayport. you just need adapters depending on your monitor. right now that card is sold out considering how good it was at the price it sold at. im actually selling the same card with red fan design on my store here hernandezaffordableproducts.com/shop/products/evga-nvidia-geforce-gtx-1050-ti-gddr5-ssc-acx-3-0-graphics-card/
Does this setup work for warzone?
Hey. Yes it will in fact. I do have to say that it worked well without lagging on 1080p and settings most of them on normal. Graphics looked good. However when I tried to maximize the graphics settings it lagged a bit. For the most part it ran great though in a full multiplayer game.
I currently have that desktop and decided to go for a i5-4690, but I also wanted to get a better cooler for the cpu. the cpu cooler you recommend is unavailable, any other coolers that will work for the desktop?
hi. glad you upgraded to the i5 at least. assuming you had i3? alright so yes you right the vortex cooler sold out hehe. I did fine one model that is also a low profile to fit well inside the case. also a cooler master product. go shop on amazon at amzn.to/36TogMJ
@@HernandezEliteGaming oh, I forgot to update the comment. Instead of going for the i5-5690, I went for the i7-4790. Thank you soo much of finding a different cooler for the pc, I've been worried about high temperatures and all of that when upgrading the cpu. I'll get that once I can and I'll update you with the results
Me putting a 3060ti in and a 750w power supply. There might be a little bit of a bottleneck somewhere in my system and I’m leaning towards the gpu
hi. maybe is the gpu. or the limit in power. for example as long as you have plenty of power. the actual voltage does not matter. for example if your system requires 400w and you have a 750w it will not have a problem. you have what is required. however the other way around is different. if the gpu requires power and the system has less it will have a problem. another thing i find too is the other components installed may be causing a power short.
Will that EVGA GeForce 1050 T fit inside the Dell Inspiron 3668?
hi. thanks for stopping by and watching the video. sorry for responding late I had hundreds to look over before getting to yours lol. you have to measure your case. the video card mentioned in this video is a 9.15 inches card so as long as your case is about 10 inches you are good.
late comment but when i opened my computer (same model as yours) it looked like there was already a card in there i did not put, how do i take out?
hi. all you need to do is remove the screw holding it in place at the rear side of the case. then on the board pcie connector there is a pin lock. push it down to release the card. then pull it upwards for it to come out. make sure whatever cable is connected to it is disconnected to. assuming is not a card you need. you welcome to connect your monitor to the included vga or hdmi on your motherboard. reboot pc.
You didn't need to replace the power supply for a video card that only draws 75w.
Hi. Thanks for stopping by to share your thoughts. Yes and no on your comment. Initially when I ordered the video card I also ordered the power supply. I'm use to needing to needing to connect a power cable to video cards. It's just the rule of thumb. I later realized that yes i may get away without a power supply. After researching the power requirements on the overall components i calculated that everything was almost using the original 300 watts. Considering i was also interested in adding a cooler unit and led lights also new dvd drives plus 2 hard drives which is not covered in this video is why i thought it was smart to in fact replace it.
I dunno, I think it's kinda worth it considering the Inspiron PS does not come with a 6-pin connector for the card.
What is the original power supply wattage
Hi. The original power on the psu is 300w. The 1050 ti model doesn't require you to install a new power supply. I only did so because i had plans for future components.
Hi.
Great video.
I have a doubt. Have you tried installing an Nvme?
I see that there is a network card and I thought it could be replaced by an Nvme.
Nice day.
Hi. Thanks for watching. You have a good question. To be honest I never bothered since it had the wifi board on it. Now that you mention it I'm going to look into that connecting. I do believe that if is compatible with nvme is worth using over the wifi.
Im trying to find a better cpu if possible for this build do you have any recommendations
Anything above a GTX 1050
hi. glad you asked. I did list a low entry rtx model for this computer. You will need a power supply though too. that ius the evga rtx 2060 compact dual fan design. the link is listed on the video description.
hey man i really wanna sk i bought a r7 260x and i installed the gpu it just does not detect the gpu ( i also did a psu swap and everything turns on) but the pc does not detect the gpu and the slot is completely fine and i am wondering whats the problem could it be the pc does not accept amd gpus?
Interesting.. If all factors check out OK. It could be a no AMD unit. Even though that sounds strange by itself. I would say to clean both GPU and pci connections with rubbing alcohol. Then check all power cables are pushed in all the way
Hey there, I have a basic Dell Inspiron 3847, my power supply died. So I was watching videos about fixing them myself. When I came across this. My question is with everything being basic Dell manufacturer. Can this set up work? Just the power supply and the graphics card 1050. Plus what size and style did you use? Also mine is i5 processor.
hi. if you have at least 8gb or memory. and you said you have the i5 processor. yes that's it with just a power supply and video card as shown in the video so click on the links you find in the description to go buy the product you need. one thing to keep in mind though is that its always better to go faster for some games not all and if you have just a few bucks to spend then I recommend you upgrade the i5 cpu to the i7 cpu. then upgrade your memory to the max which is 8gbx2=16gb. Intel i7-4790 Processor amzn.to/38Fn3rc and then Corsair Vengeance 16GB Desktop Memory amzn.to/2TCtF5B
as your lowest entry point you just need a nvidia gtx 1050 ti graphics card. I listed two on the video description one being the evga one I used and the other a gigabyte model. using an i5 processor and at least 8gb of memory you will be able to play some games not all and others at low settings and others on high so is going to depend. however you can invest a bit more and purchase the corsair memory I listed to maximize it to 16gb and then the i7 processor I listed to get the latest cores. in addition you add the rtx 2060 evga card you are golden. This will cost you a few hundred dollars but is better than spending close to a thousand or two for the same specs on a newer case. this is considered when wanting to preserve the hardware you already have.
Can a EVGA 600 B1 be used nicely as a replacement in place of a EVGA 600 BQ?
YES> that is a great power supply. should work fine with this case. and be compatible with the hardware.
@ODphydeler yes it still works
What power supply you have?
I'm using the evga 550 power supply. Listed in the video description.

yes this pc is upgradable and is pretty decent for gaming. GTA is not a graphics sucking game so a basic video card like a GTX or RTX will handle it find. also using a 8GB is enough for gaming but if so pc used for programs too then 16GB

I play typically Fortnite so if it's able to satisfy that and be able to play some other games that I happen to want to play, I'd be more than happy to go for it.

However, I have a 300W power supply (what it came with I believe?), When I run games my CPU goes to 100 % usage usually and I get stutters so do you suspect it is cuz of my power supply and that needs an upgrade or I need to upgrade the CPU (curr CPU is i5 4460 @3.20ghz) or uh both lol. sorry if these are very noobie questions lol idk what im talking about. I justt have one HDD as well 12 GB DDR3 two sticks of RAM
I recommend a combination between 16gb memory. with 500w psu. this will allow the processor to perform more stable.
