This reminds me of my first build. I had a 4790k and a gtx 970. It’s weird to see how a pc from that era can still play current games so well. That pc has been relegated to be a office pc for my parents now and I have a 9700k with a 3080 now. Crazy to see how far things have come.
still in use - X51 R2 updated to i7 4790k, RTX2060 Super, 16GB Ram, 1TB Samsung SSD, BluRay Drive and of course the 330W Powerbrick It still does a very good job.
I still have my x51 r3 model collecting dust. It came with an i7 4790k ,gtx 970, 8gb ram and 500gb storage and a nice dell 1440p 60hz monitor for ~1,400 back in 2015. It served me well up until the 2020 when the gtx970 died and didn't bother replacing it.
I bought one of these at an estate sale for 70. I upgraded the ram, and got a better heatsink for it and put it in a micro ATX Nzxt case and was able to sell it for 450. It did have a 670ti instead of a 960, and the board was a normal standard form factor. The power board just converted the power from the power brick to 24pin and 8 pin/6pin CPU/mobo power so I just bought a 500W EVGA PSU for it.
I got one of these in 2015, with a i7-2600 and GTX555 as my first pc and it barley ran games but I loved it. Nowadays I’ve got my own money and a overkill PC but something special about that first one
I still have one of these with the GTX 745 GPU. I made it into a web browsing desktop that my dad uses daily. I replaced the HDD with an SSD and upgraded it to Windows 10. It runs great for general web surfing and watching UA-cam videos, basically no lag.
I have a Dell XPS 8700 with the same i7 4790 and a GTX 1660 Super. My PC runs 1080p games quite well! So, this Alienware can be upgraded to handle 1080p gaming with no problem. Excellent vid!
love quirky cases. Recently won a MSI Nightblade in an auction that came with similar specs (except was an i5-7400 with DDR4 RAM), decent 350W 80+ Gold PSU which can power slightly better GPUs than the 960. Brilliant little HTPC.
Well, it's great for someone who's budget is below 500$. For it beeing that old it's pretty good. Also, thank y'all for keep uploading videos that are entertaining me.
Alienware alpha r2 is a good one to review its about this same price, 6th gen processors, small form factor with desktop gtx 900s GPU. (I used to have one before I reviewed it this year on my UA-cam and then sold it.)
Im watching this video on the same PC! I found it for only $25 and it was a steal!!!!! It holds up as a good PC even today but to paly modern games....not so much. That said, for $25 I couldn't go wrong!
I still have my R1 that I purchased over a decade ago and I still play Fortnite and Destiny 2 on it fairly regularly. Upgraded the GPU to a 1060 GTX, maxed out the ram to 16 GB and I have a 2 TB SSD. The only things I've ever had to replace were the items I upgraded. I think the CD ROM drive went about five years ago and I was able to get a replacement for next to nothing on eBay. The only other issue I ever had was my CPU fan at full blast all of a sudden and temperatures were remarkably high, took it apart, cleaned it applied to fresh coat of thermal paste and it's running just like new again. One hell of a workhorse that thing has been for me
I just want to thank those guys for the heads up n sharing some info on that pc. I am thinking about building my gaming library, and I was interested in that Alienware machine. I wanted one when they first came out but at that time were way to expensive for me. Peace guys 👍👍
I put a 1070 Founders edition in my Alienware. I had to take the fan out and the Hard drive out to make room for it. The thermals stay within manageable ranges when gaming on it. As the founders edition has a blower style fan it pulls enough fresh air into the system to keep it cool.
I had one of these forever ago before I started building my own. Had a 3770, 16GB of DDR3 @ 1800MHz (I believe) and an OEM GTX 660. HDD failed within a year and motherboard started having issues. Good memories though. My first gaming computer.
@@microtasker Not sure about the R2 limits but the R3 model can go up to i7-6700k. From what I searched when thinking about upgrading mine the RTX 3060 causes CPU bottleneck. So the best match is something below that. I see most people using 1650 Super or 1050 Ti.
I want to reach out i bought one of your guys 1k desktop and I’m in love with the way you put it all together i see no problem with it and hopefully ill get to come back soon to go through your shop
I just got recommended this video today, but had to mention that the port next to the SPDIF optical audio is just a Coax digital audio connector. Think they just became less popular over time.
the onlly limiting factor on that machine is the old gpu my build has a i7 4790k with 16gb of ram on dual chanel and a 1tb samsung evo ssd with a a 1660 super and it runs preaty much anything 1080p on high to medium seting at 60fps
My only wish is to win that pc tommorow 😢 been struggling with a old laptop from 5 years ago and playing on my Xbox one with mouse and key , big fan and I love your stuff guys
@@imdoominic5715 ye fr. My old hp 15 notebook finally “gave out”. It has a hard drive error now idk why. May have to open it up and see what’s wrong and see if I can upgrade it any
had the r3 and that thing lasted me damn near 10 years and now is serving my nephew well. Would i buy another one? no but at the time it was convinent and i could pay monthly for it but it let me do almost everything i wanted
Great video guys, to upgrade the gpu it supports blower style cards so in theory could you put an rtx a2000 in here, using a 330w Psu? Anyone done it/recommend it?
From the X51 R3 specs, the 330W PSU should be able to handle 175W cards. So it will be fine as usually the professional cards draws a lot less power. Just make sure it's equal or less than 4.7" (H) x 9.5" (L) dual slot. If you are using for professional work, I would recommend going for the R3 with i7-6700k as it's the best you will get in these systems. Also will be able to have fast NVMe M.2 SSDs and they have a cool liquid cooling solution for CPU. I have a i5-6400 and GTX 970 and it's not keeping up that well with medium 3D modelling and some heavier Adobe use. Thinking about upgrading the X51 or building something new.
It’s probably worth upgrading the 960 to a 1060 6 GB or something around there. Anything more doesn’t make too much sense but the 4790 has more to give
Yeah something like this which looks almost like a Xbox One could be a great HTPC or some light gaming in your living room. $400 isn't too bad tbh, even with some small upgradability.
Is there an alternate to this X51-R2 or the Alpha R2 with a similar from factor that would be better for more modern games, that I could buy for about the same price as these Alienware? Thanks!!
Hey guys. Did you pay $300 or $400? The title doesn’t match what you said. Anyway isn’t this just a fancy Dell Optiplex? You guys upgrade them all the time. You should definitely upgrade what you can on this one. The cpu is maxed unless you put a 4790K. This has a full height double width slot for gpu which the Optiplex sff did not. Also install the Alienware RGB control panel software. You can customize the lighting. RGB gives a FPS boost from what I hear. Thanks.
This SFF PC would have limited upgradeability in my opinion. That power supply would be a major issue. Not only that but ITX motherboards are usually really expensive compared to ATX and mATX boards, and you'd need to find a fairly low powered GPU as well as a low to mid-powered CPU. For example, fitting a Ryzen5 5600 with a B550I motherboard, RX6400 GPU, 1TB of NVMe storage and 16GB DDR4-4000 RAM (most ITX boards have 2 DIMM slots) would likely be as far as you could go to keep within the inherent power limitations.
my laptop is a 17" desktop replacement (clevo p770zm ODM) with an i7 4790k and 980M, 4 sticks of ddr3 8GB ram, two nvme drives and used to be 2 ssd's also in there. I have the same power supply for my laptop and it was rated for 330 watts. it still rocks but I have a steam deck now and am looking to unload it because I don't need all that power and weight and prefer the steam deck for many reasons including the exceptional novelty of it.
The best the R3 could go (with Dell motherboard, of course) using the 330W PSU is 175W GPU, i7-6700k CPU, 32 GB (2x 16) 2133MHz RAM, NVMe SSD + 2x HDD 2.5". From my TDP calculations it should be fine but at the very limit of the PSU.
@@IcaroMorse that is a best case scenario and not what everyone should safely assume. A pushed-to-the-limit power supply is not going to last very long.
I remember how meh this computer ran some games (the 2013 one). It got 30fps in saints row 3, meanwhile my 600-700 dollar build with a 760 and fx6300 got over 60 almost all the time. Some of my friends got the x51 and others got the Aurora with the alx chassis at the top. I genuinely liked that design. Especially compared to the new ones. Personally I'd just build my own and never get an alienware.
😢 me who paid 1200 when it was still in date and lasted 5 years on and off not turning on. when I finally got my own place it finally said ight imma head out and take the motherboard and processor with it. still have it tbh. just use the 960 & the ram from it on a project pc. the 1tb it came with is locked due to a bios from Alienware itself. Mostly played esports titles. and for some reason it lets you play rust without 12gb ram. The real problem with it is the power blocks that come with these. i guess I was the clown to buy it at the price it was sold at but hey you live and you learn. rip 2016-2021
At this point youtube is very oversaturated with 4th gen intel budget builds, you could probably find very similar videos, probably even on this channel with the same CPU and a better GPU, more RAM, better cooler, etc
I got one with a 1660 in it and i7 4790k for 120$ runs amazing to. This was one of my 1st game pcs back i nthe day when i 1st played my 1st pc game alan wake two i lvoed it i had to get another.

wow. I have a 17" Sager laptop with an i7 4790k and 980M. and guess what? I have the same power supply. lol. more powerful than my steam deck but when I get rid of it I get rid of several kilos in exchange for 1.
My first gaming PC was one of these. It had an i5-4430 with a GTX 645. It was supposed to be the 745 but Walmart lied to me and I didn't find out until a year after I bought it. It's still in my house somewhere lol.
at 1:00, I noticed your mousepad's rgb led doesnt shine on the other sides. facing the same problem with my fantech firefly mpr800s. do you have any idea why that happened? do you know how to fix this?
That was great buy 😂 I was wondering though could you a TV into a computer you you an all in on TV that just plugged in the old controller and you could play your favorite stream games ... You know maybe run ubuntu without all the unknown of running window now a day... I mean look at that PC Im sure it could fit into a TV 😉☺️
pre-dell Alienware was awesome. as soon as dell purchased the company they instantly went into greed mode. reducing everything to low quality garbage in odd plastic cases. they use the lowest quality and cost OEM components available.
I'm new to pc and only really want to play apex and over watch is it possible to get a pc that will do me good for 300 to 400 have to ask you guys since your amazing at this stuff please and thank you appreciate your time and opinion thank you
This Alienware PC was my very first gaming PC 😂I did upgrade the graphics card after awhile, and then only about 2 years ago the CPU died and I decided to save up for a new gaming PC. The Alienware served me well and now it's in my closet somewhere collecting dust 😭RIP Bob (I named my Alienware Bob) lol
It wasn't great for the price then and it's not a better deal for 300$. If you're into Alienware I guess it can do the job, that case is a nightmare btw.
Disaster, Blower Style GPU with the fan smack up against the HDD, pointing into the case with no airflow. Great engineering. Another Alienware prioritizing brand appearance over actual functionality.
The blower design actually sucks the air inside the case against the HDD (can use a 2.5" HDD/SSD for more air space) and throws it to the back of the case.
im watching this video on thar very same machine 😅
Cool!
sorry for you dude

at 1:00, I noticed your mousepad's rgb led doesnt shine on the other sides. facing the same problem with my fantech firefly mpr800s. do you have any idea why that happened? do you know how to fix this?

That was great buy 😂
I was wondering though could you a TV into a computer you you an all in on TV that just plugged in the old controller and you could play your favorite stream games ... You know maybe run ubuntu without all the unknown of running window now a day... I mean look at that PC Im sure it could fit into a TV 😉☺️
Bro, please reply I'm doing a test with a 6500 xt and an 8320 CPU can you tell me how good or bad the test is?
Stop with the fake account I can see that you cropped his profile picture.
I use to be so jelly or this, I even built my own pc based on this on a node 202 case.
when will you guys restock your 700+ gaming piscis
I was wondering if you can change the motherboard and the cpu does somebody know? Also is it a mini itx motherboard or not?
Today that would be considered a "budget gaming" PC.
how do you bring up the stuff on the top left?
pre-dell Alienware was awesome. as soon as dell purchased the company they instantly went into greed mode. reducing everything to low quality garbage in odd plastic cases. they use the lowest quality and cost OEM components available.
I have this system sporting a evga 1660s love the form factor
Was that the ltt store screw driver
A new SST will not make downloads faster. Downloading games, especially on steam is CPU intensive.
400??? i remember buying my X51-R3(still have,daily driver) for 2500...
Is it good for obs or streamlabs
i have this but the gpu is a 3060 and the cpu is a brand new i7!

Bro was video editing on that Keyboard sponsor segment but nothing was being done.
I literally just built 2 of them one with a r9 200 and the other with a gtx 760....would have sold yall one for 100 bucks....
I'm new to pc and only really want to play apex and over watch is it possible to get a pc that will do me good for 300 to 400 have to ask you guys since your amazing at this stuff please and thank you appreciate your time and opinion thank you
This Alienware PC was my very first gaming PC 😂I did upgrade the graphics card after awhile, and then only about 2 years ago the CPU died and I decided to save up for a new gaming PC. The Alienware served me well and now it's in my closet somewhere collecting dust 😭RIP Bob (I named my Alienware Bob) lol
F
It wasn't great for the price then and it's not a better deal for 300$. If you're into Alienware I guess it can do the job, that case is a nightmare btw.
i had bought one of these in 2018 for 150. didnt like it to much lol
960's are no joke.
love you guys alot. helped me alot
Hey, I was wondering if I could have the Pc from you guys?
Whats the computer specs?
Hey, hey, hey! Always happy to see your vids!
Disaster, Blower Style GPU with the fan smack up against the HDD, pointing into the case with no airflow. Great engineering. Another Alienware prioritizing brand appearance over actual functionality.
The blower design actually sucks the air inside the case against the HDD (can use a 2.5" HDD/SSD for more air space) and throws it to the back of the case.
im watching this on the same pc i put a 1050 in it and its not supposed to fit it
Am i the only one who thinks thats gtx 960 had best reference blower?
A "smart" Samsonite suit case...
watching using my Alienware x51 R2 ( i7-4790+1650s)😆
