Dell Gaming PC Tower, Intel i5, 16GB RAM, 128GB SSD 500GB HDD, Windows 10, Nvidia GT 730 2GB, New RGB Gaming 4-in-1 Bundle (Renewed)

I needed a reliable pc to replace a very noisy, prone to crash existing one and this purchase fit the bill. For around $400, it’s a good deal but there’s a few caveats that go with that. As for a gaming platform it lacks any certain essentials. the positives: quiet and small form factor reliable processor and sufficient ram (16gb) for the price good customer service although i haven’t needed it Nice keyboard and mouse A great selection of how to videos for those less familiar with computing environments The less than positive: The OS drive is a 100gb ssd. The user will need to constantly monitor this space as it will fill up fast with temp files and other data that the user may not be aware of. Recommend replacing this with a 500gb ssd the storage drive is a 500gb drive. Considering that there’s few restrictions on application size anymore because storage is cheap, this is not even close to sufficient space. Recommend a3tb or greater drive which btw can be purchased for under $100. No wireless card and the wireless dongle is outdated (300mps, 2.4ghz) no support for 5ghz No room for expansion inside the case. while the mother board has 4 SATA connections, one is used by the dvd drive and the 4th is used by an unknown device. the only option for adding more drives is to use externals. 01/21. I had contacted Blair before this review was published to ask why and they sent me a 5ghz dongle without being requested to. Awesome customer support! Am underpowered GPU. Bear in mind this is being marketed as an introductory gaming machine. The card installed is likely sufficient to handle most non-shooters. I’m very satisfied with what i purchased because i knew what i was purchasing, but for folks new to computing, if you purchase this pleases be aware that you may need to purchase additional peripherals to bring this pc up to speed as a full-speed gaming machine. My modifications: Once i know i can safely reinstall the OS and activate it I will replace the ssd with a 500gb ssd. This has proved to be ample space for the OS and any temp or installation files that come with downloads and installs. i removed the 500gb storage drive and replaced it with 6tb drive. considering some of the programs i own are greater than 70gb in size each, this was essential. I replaced the graphics card with an Nvidia gtx1050 ti with 32gb onboard memory. This should be sufficient to run everything i own or purchase in the next few years. I also added a 4tb portable hard drive for backups and system tools i can use on other machines when required. Replace the 300mhz wireless dongle with one that works with both 2.4 and 5ghz networks for faster throughout. If you’re familiar with the shortfalls and are ok with a 6th generation (or possibly older) processor then this is an ok buy. Just be sure you know what you’re going to get when it arrives.

I unfortunately set up my PC after 3 months of purchasing. This is was a horrible idea as the PC is not working. it turns on but it is making no connection to the monitor and I have called all tech supports and the problem is not the monitor. It is the PC; HOWEVER, because this system is over 10 years old, Dell will not provide any type of support for me. I would have to find a local technician. This purchase has ended up being a complete waste and complete head ache. I just wish it would work...

The computer arrived quickly and safely - it came a day early, and was packed very well for protection. The bundled accessories were a real nice touch - gaming keyboard, mouse, and headset, all top quality. The computer has had no problems - it performs as advertised. I bought a gaming computer, not because I do gaming, but because I do 4K video editing. The computer I had couldn't handle the files. This one, with the 16 GB of RAM and a discrete gaming card, handles the video with ease. Though this machine has the same fine processor as my last one, the extra RAM and the video card make all the difference. The machine had Win 10 Home, and almost no bloatware - a real blessing! Also, the solid state hard drive, in addition to a regular hard drive (sorry about the lack of all the technical language for this stuff), really helps speed things up as well. This is my second re-conditioned computer from Blair, and I can genuinely say they have delivered a quality machine that has no issues, ready to run like a scared rabbit right out of the box. Highly recommend!

A young friend out of state, that I met on-line gaming, had a computer failure. He's rather strapped financially, so I decided to buy this for him and have it shipped directly. From his comments, the machine is perfectly capable for the type of MMO game that we play, but probably not powerful enough for really hard core gaming that requires expensive graphics power. Would have given 5 stars, as the price was right and the machine came undamaged and in good shape. But it was missing a cord to connect to his monitor, which he ended up having to buy.

The optiplex is a really good platform for a starter pc. However, the graphics card that came with it was not the same as the one listed, and it doesn’t have an hdmi port. It only has a display port, that Doesn’t fit the included hdmi cable. I had to wait for a display port adapter to arrive instead of setting up the pc on my daughters birthday like I had planned. Once it was set up with the additional adapter, the keyboard and mouse wouldn’t work because the cords were already shorted out from the way they were packaged. I wasn’t expecting the best keyboard and mouse out there, but I wanted them to work until I could get her something better. Overall my daughter is happy with her starter pc but there were some serious problems with this listing and I kind of feel scammed.

Bought for my 13yr old son for gaming. The installed GPU GeForce GT 730 can only take some games at medium or low quality. Tested on Eve Online at medium setting, and was playable with slight lag, around 40 FPS average. Knew what I was purchasing so the plan was to upgrade the GPU. Depending on the GPU you may need to upgrade the power supply as well. Bought a used GeForce GTX 1660 Super 6 GB GDDR6 for $112, because of that video card required an upgraded power supply that can output 430 W (brand new $32). With the upgraded GPU, this rig is able to run Destiny 2 at max quality settings 1080p with no lag with consistent 60 FPS, same with Eve Online, max quality settings 1080p with no lag consistent 60 FPS, Mechwarrior 5 max quality 1080p no lag consistent 60 FPS. In the end with this system and the upgraded GPU and power supply came at a total of around $399 and can take all games currently out on the market at high quality settings with consistent 60 FPS for a budget price. The PC came without the Wifi USB dongle, although listing included Wifi capability, the seller was quick to remediate and send the Wifi USB dongle separately. Great value for the price, just know what you're buying and what's needed to take it to high quality 60 FPS gaming.

This is my first pc and I was on a seriously tight budget this pc came with 16 gbs of ddr3 ram a gt 730 and an i5-3570 cpu originally thinking this was all fine I was excited. Set up was incredibly easy after running a couple of games like Fortnite, guild wars 2, and rocket league, is where I started to realize the problems of the system I was barely getting 30 fps across all of the games and I was playing on the lowest quality settings coming from ps5 it’s a real jarring experience. But after doin a ton of research I’ve been having fun learning all the ins and outs of this pc. I’ve upgraded the cpu to a I-7 4790 ($30) I next upgraded the power supply to a 500w ($35) I decided to go with a gtx 970($44) for my gpu With all my cheap lil upgrades I’m either at 60 fps or higher in certain games that I play, I can also play them on medium to high settings which is amazing So to end it here I think if u are on a tight budget and are invested in learning how to build a pc and don’t mind taking a chance on eBay with used pc parts I recommend this for you,

The computer kept telling me it didn’t meet requirements and needed a check up so I downloaded check up software and the pc does not support any recent Windows updates. Support referred me to dell ,dell says the computer is 10 years old it will not support any new windows update this was by far the worst product I have ever purchased. What’s the use of a gaming graphics card if the computer is so far outdated that there are no games you can play. You can have you paper weight back .

1- la carte a 1 gig pour les jeux cest juste 2- jai eu un proble jai contacter et vitte regler bonne achat

after waiting for a newer computer . i get it home and start doing the upgrades on windows . after 35 mins the computer went dead .could not even get anything to happen . no power no nothing . what a waste of money 35 min paper weight . So MAD

I bought this as a gift and had no idea the SSD was garbage. Will be great after another $225 to upgrade. Why bother selling a gaming computer when there is no room to load games on the faster drive :( Not happy
