$150 Budget Gaming Dell Optiplex 780
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 гру 2018
- Take a look at this capable little custom gaming P.C. that I put together for $148.58. The additional paint work and l.e.d.s are all optional, and added to the total cost, but the system itself was less than $150.
With a little patience and Ebay browsing, you can do this for less.
Dell Optiplex 780 Destop $58.58
Asus GTX 650-E $45.00
Thermaltake PCI-E Extension $29.01
EDUP usb wifi adapter $15.99
Rustoleum Ultimate High Gloss White $4.26
Duplicolor VHT Flame Proof Flat Aluminum $10.99
Duraplex Acrylic .08 18" x 24" $13.45

2 years late to the party but this is essentially what I’m about to do with the free 780 I just got. Let’s see what we can do with it lol
Nice job there. I did this about 4-5 years ago to my Dell Optiplex 780 DT which is still running a Xeon X3363 (sticker mod) and a Low Profile GTX 750 Ti. Runs extremely well with all the mods on it. Great machines for the money but it's starting to show its age.
out of all the builds i watched, this is the most helpful one. thank you!!!
Wow that window looks fantastic, it looks like UA-cam recommendations did a good job today!
i agreed with you they are improving algorithms
I'm usually making videos and don't have time to watch any but the thumbnail caught my eye and the build did not disappoint! Thanks for the good content I enjoyed this.
I’ve owned this computer for 11 years, and it’s pretty safe to say so far I’ve had no problems with this computer. My friends tell me I should just get a new one, but mine is in perfect working order and I love using it for everything. Great video by the way!
me too, it's been 13 years now
mine's got a core 2 quad q9550 and a gtx 750ti
still going strong all these years later
Really impress with new paint, and window cut out. looks really good.
I love this video it's given me some great inspiration. Here in the UK I bought a Dell Optiplex 780 for just basic web surfing and the office programs but I aways felt it had good potential as a budget gaming PC. Thanks for the tips I'm going to pim it up for sure and save a few pounds as well. Handy little computers these Dell's they really last. Mine is refurbished and cost less than £60 but it runs so quich and reliable. Liked and subscribed .
I had to game on a Dell Optiplex 7010 for about a year with a GTX 1050. I had to take out the side of the pc and keep it out as well. I finally upgraded my pc and now it looks a lot better.
Incredible work. I’d love to have that machine honestly!
Great job there! I have the same PC, which came shipped in 2016 with Windows 7 Pro x64 already installed, plus a recovery partition & WOW, a Core 2 Quad 9650 for $105, a killer deal, as many were selling the same with E8400-8600 for the same or higher. Actually the E8600 is a decent CPU, or would be for web usage only, especially with Linux. However the recovery partition, while not loaded with crapware, the drivers weren't quite right for the model (only 5 are listed on the Dell site). So I removed the drive, installed a 2.5" 256GB Samsung 840 PRO, installed Windows 7 clean & then the drivers & had a killer PC.
Later, I'd add the full 16GB RAM & a MSI GT 1030 (2GB GDDR5) with both HDMI 2.0b & Displayport 1.4 ports, is now running on a 4K monitor. Note that the only extra expense was the GPU, as I had the rest of components on hand, some from doing upgrades for others, they allowed me to have the lesser parts, this PC is picky about RAM! Fortunately, I had two complete matching sets, acquired over a year apart.
Today, it's running Windows 10 1909 x64, but given the extra power the OS needs, security & Google Chrome, is getting long in the teeth & upgraded to an Optiplex 7010. Will reinstall Windows 7 at the point it was upgraded to W10 & use to control a webcam for security & who knows, Linux Mint x64 Cinnamon may be the perfect fit, as it doesn't need a ton of resources to run. Google Chrome would then use the most, yet there'll be a lot more headroom.
Thanks for the great video!
Just found this channel, seemed good! Was surprised it had less than 300 subs. Should have at least 5k imo.
You sir, just earned another sub.
1.5k You Meant?
@@user-fs2gv1cr5x I commented that two years ago, when the sub count was much lower
@@mansoorkarim836 so?
@@user-fs2gv1cr5x ...so he would've been at 300 subs back then...
@@mansoorkarim836 I was just saying
This man tested the only game I wanted to see run. I respect that
Wow! i got the same CPU model and having problem with video upgrades. this is very helpful. thank you.
Nice, I'm looking into it to build one custom myself. Your build is very nice.
Dang this channel is articulate. Subscribed!
Dang man you deserve way more than the 536 subs you have. This was a great video and coincidentally i have an optiplex 780 just sitting around collecting dust. I might give this a try. Good video 👍
cptjake 32 3 months later and almost doubled in subs
I liked the mounting for the graphics card
> spending $30 on PCIe Extension cable
A small price to pay for aEstHeTiCs
He needs it so he can fit the gpu in the case, its a full
height card so it won't fit sideways. Maybe before you go to the comments section, do some research :)
Eli - Chan he didn’t need a shielded one for so much though
I was so surprised when I saw ur sub count, ur vids r so high quality
first vid that i watch on your channel and i love and subscribe keep it up!
That's crazy. I just last month boughtone of these opti's. I painted mine white sides, black centers, put in a 780 motherboard and q6600 with fbs tape MOD. With a grand total of 48$ invested. Had a 280w pay in it and I slapped in an old gt620 that was new in the box still sealed up. Runs great for 50$ although may spend 50-75$ on a used gt1030 for better performance.
Very creative way to mount your 650E
With me there are gonna be 500 subs ...congrats
That actually looks sick👌🏻❤️
Great Video buddy!!! You're underrated
I'm sub 538 can't wait to congratulate you on 100k
4 years late to the party and i just got blessed with one of these, any tips on how to make this slightly more high end
Awesome job mate!! Like it a lot
This was awesome to watch!
Mate you deserve more subs. You got a new subs'er
This pc model was amazing for upgrades
I have a couple of these laying around. Thanks man
Soooo under-rated! 💯 keep it up man ! 🌟
Damn awesome build bro and you use your creativity to do it good job😀😁😂😃.
Wow. Probably the most creative modification to a PC I have ever seen. Good Job.
I do wish you would've ran some other games like fortnite though. (Apex legends wasn't out so I'll cut ya some slack).
Like I said though, great job.
I got a dell optiplex 3010 mt that came with an i3 3220, 8gb ram, 250gb HDD, and Windows 10 on it for free because it was full of dust and needed a good cleanup. I then installed an i5 2400, 450w rosewill arc psu, and an msi armor rx570 4gb for a total cost of $165 USD. It is more than enough power to run any game at 60 fps. One of the best deals I’ve ever seen.
like the transformation bro
If I hadn't got a AMD FX rig for free from a cousin last year, this is what I would probably get by myself on a budget
Yes, if I hadn't got that AMD FX PC I would get myself a Core 2 system in 2023 still most likely
Jokes aside, this is still a good option if you are desperate to get a PC
The nicest optiplex 775+ custom DIY I've seen so far in terms of cosmetics, can use an SSD now :)
I built mine out a 780 mini tower, threw in 12 GB of RAM I had laying around and got an EVGA GeForce 730 graphics card for it. Runs Csgo like a charm
great production!
Amazing job my keep it up 💪
I thought this was pretty cool I'm actually going to pick one up later this week. What you could do is upgrade the ram (this supports 16gb) but getting 8gb is pretty cheap, and you could also do the lga 771 to 775 mod and grab a quad core xeon processor. It should improve performance significantly.
How does it run?
Broo idk how to put a xeon in there
@@bwstouge UA-cam changing CPUs. I don't know if the Xeon processor is compatable though
I thought the max 775 could run a Core 2 Quad.
@@adityanath3570 I think that it is the max
just got a hold of an optiplex 760,, going to have some fun with it lol ordered my cpu for $10 then on to memory and gpu and psu upgrade. and the psu may be an added on thing since the one built in is small and low wattage. ill probably do a build vid and post it. im subscribing now nice vid sir!
thanks. got one of these for free from work. now i know what to do with it. think the kids will love it.
Thx for inspiring me to keep doi g what i love i appreciate that
Good work on that!
This is a really great video :)
Nicely done
You are underrated af🤯subbed
Another suggestion:
Optiplex or Thinkcenter with i5 >= 2400 with 8gb of Ram for ~90$ and a gtx 950 for ~60$. Runs Pupg in 60fps and fortnite in 70fps.
But cleary doesnt look that cool
Do you think I can put 16gb of ddr4 ram in my 780?
A datasheet i found online says the 780 only supports 8gb ddr3.
@@tokyodraco5091 ddr4 would be far too new and expensive. Shove whatever cheap ram to push it to its 8gb max you can get, probally ddr2 or maybe 3. Then get an MSI 1050TI mini and a core 2 quad and that will get you the most performance.
@Finn Marshall pubg was the big game of 2017. Still got a player base but it was corroded by fortnite
Pupg?
Hey bruh.
Nice vids hope to see more
I want to see you run more games on that system
Great video, earned a sub
How have you got under 200k subs this is such a good video !
Te quedo conmadres netaaa
Yo tengo una optiplex 380 con una Gtx 750 ti asus y un procesador Xeon e5450
tengo una pregunta como pegaste el cristal templado y no se podria hacer una ventanilla en el cristal para que se ventilara mejor la tarjeta
Y Donde compraste el Extensor de la PSI Express ?
Saludooos desde Mexico
I have a bunch of old work pcs that are the optiplex 780s and 785s, upgrade the cou to an Intel xenon 3380x (best lga775 cpu) and an 90$ 1050ti and ill have a few of these in a week or so, awesome video, wont compare to my actual 2 pc builds but will be cool to give to friends as a starter pc for christmas
Dude I have one of these that has Windows 7 and it keeps crashing and restarting...what do?
How about making the optimal (not max or crazy) upgrades for this optiplex 780. Something like tfx psu, x3370 and gtx 1050 (maybe even lower tier gpu as to not bottleneck the cpu). I enjoy the modification process nonetheless. Nice job.
Excellent video
i did something similar with a 780 sff, mine has ddr3 ram, q9550 and a gtx 1050. i did get the pc for $5 the vid card for $70 and i had the cpu and 8GB of ram laying around.
i enjoyed your build. my kids would love if i did a window and leds.
You should do a window and L.E.D.s then!
I honestly wanted you to upgrade the mini tower version but i will take it at least.
The system looks real nice! Although I was mostly interested in the side window, too you didn't really cover that in the video. How does one go about making such a nice side window into the case? How do you attach the plexi glass? Epoxy or E6000, or smth else?
I used a rotary tool with a fiber cut off wheel to cut the shape of the window that I wanted. You could also use a 4 inch grinder with a cut off wheel depending on your case material thickness. I then smoothed out the corners and edges with a sanding roll on that same rotary tool. Some file work may be required to get the look that you want, but the paint at the end will hide most of your crimes. The sheet of acrylic is the most straightforward part, as you need to cut it slightly larger than your cutout so it has an area it can affix to. Acrylic is a bit picky when it comes to adhesives, but a 2 part epoxy that is listed to work with acrylic and metal will work. I dabbed a circle of the epoxy in each corner to hold it in place. You do not have to use too much as the window isn't holding any weight. I know it is late but I hope this helps.
great video! thank you!
Hey..!! i have dell optiplex 780 and i want to customize it as you but you please show the process of colouring and for case
coulda just got a gt1030 i think it would fit in the low profiile case without cutting anything
Do u need the edup adapter and thermaltake pci-e extension
A Q9650/Q9550 plus a GTX 2gb/4gb 1050/ti and a 240gb sata ssd will really make that a gaming pc.
I have a graphics card in it but I wanna upgrade the processor which one can I use please answer back or anyone
I would personally use a Gtx 750 Ti,
But still a really cool build, especially with the LEDs, all the mods, and the tacticool window
I actually started this build with an EVGA 750Ti but I was unsure of the true wattage on the factory power supply, so to leave myself headroom I went with the 650. The Asus card was also easier on the eyes :-)
Yeah,the wattage of these small form factor power supply’s is usually around 250 watts
Which isn’t a lot, especially when you want to upgrade them with a gpu.
I used a GTX 1080 TI Dragonion
yo tengo una optiplex 380 y una gtx 750 ti asus y va geneal sin ningun problema , Actualizare el Procesador por un XEON E5045 QUAD CORE 3.0 GHZ A VER que tal anda esta semana me llega
7:03 "And yes it will run Crisis" lol
My Dell optiplex 780 is amazing. Mine has the exact same setup except mine came with DDR3 Ram so that's epic.
What game play?
And fps
Muito bom, agora só falta as legendas brasileiras
Thats awesome!
Also, is it easy to re assemble a pc if you haven't ever done it?
Those are some nice self adjusting crimpers you have there. Oh and uncap that framerate on MC.
This channel should have more subs
This guy deserves more sub
But will it run crysis?
old jokes
He said ye
ALIS real question is does it run minesweeper
Oldie but goodie
According go my caclculation my pc cost 26.666666 x More expensive 😂😂😂😂😂
Hi there. I love your channel. I have a suggestion that would not only get your views and subscribers but also help people like me out. I am looking to purchase an Optiplex 790 with an i5 processor and 8gb or ram. I plan to replace the battery, upgrade ram to 16gb, replace fans with rgb lighting fans, add rgb light strips, and add an ssd and graphics card (in that order). If you could make a in depth video on how to do modification like that it would really help me out.
Using bff Dell optiplex 790 (i5 2400) and I'm going to upgrade to 16gb ram from 8 and a gtx 760 with an evga 600w 80+ (either gold or silver) PSU, and I'm probably going to do the window mod as well
Liked and subbed keep it up bruh
Great build! One suggestion I have is to provide more gameplay. Showing that it actually runs Crysis rather than just saying it does goes a long way. If it can't hit 60 FPS average in Minecraft then it running Crysis well or smoothly seems unlikely.
He said it can run crysis, not it can run crysis solidly at 60fps, he was just stating that crysis can start up and play
Can I use this optiolex HP Elite Desktop Computer, Intel Core i5 3.1GHz, 8GB RAM, 1TB SATA HDD
Love the video.
well well well running java with a graphic card, what a genius!!
you could slap in a q6600 for a few extra dollars (for double the cores, its not a bad idea)
absolutely worth the upgrade, just not sureif I want to invest any more into this particular PC
Can now do the same thing w socket 1155 and 1150.
Every youtuber has some CRUTIAL component sitting or laying around BUT i have to go out to but them
I got a dell optiplex 790 dt as my prebuilt, but don’t know what parts to get. My budget is $100
5:40 - I'm sorry but YOU are wrong, you have to add some solder to the iron, it helps transferring the heat to the wire 10x better! THEN heat up the wire and touch the fresh solder to the wire and the hot wire will wick it up. You do need to add solder to the iron.
Why does no one use the Mid tower 9010
can you add a link to all these items
Im a 12 yr old kid who wants to build a pc but wants to buy a prebuilt system and upgrade it thanks for the vid I enjoyed it
is it possible to fin
d a 2 gig card that would fit
Can I do something similar with an optiplex 7010?
Nice job
I have an optiplex 780. With this could it make yt videos. Mine can edit but the export times on a 4 minute video are about an hour long.
Would an hp compaq elite be a good budget build?
