    You are a GOAT for still running killing floor! Thanks for the review, thinking about buying this for emulation and playing steam games.

    with a GPU upgrade you will be able to play an amazing number of games on that system( with possibly having to upgrade the PSU to support them), Not on the highest settings, but still extremely playable. That being said, its not a good time to buy GPU's since they went thru the roof.

    I have this pc, I was planning to upgrade my my factory gpu that had a gforce635 to a gforcegtx1050ti. But I rather just wait it out to build a new pc.
    Maybe when I graduate out of college

      Nice, I've just finally move for Windows 8 to 11 (don't throw rocks please! lol) and replace the PSU with 550W modular in my original case and fitted a 3060TI. I was extremely happy that for once, Dell drivers and BIOS/Windows/hardware dit not make lose my mind. And I'm not done: new 750 PSU coming and a 3070...hello dual GPU XPS8700 ...soon!

      I have a 8100 i7
      I am planning to add 32 gigs of ram
      A ssd and a 4gb cheap Gpu
      I just wanna edit 1080p video
      Hope it works
      I see alot of power supply on market place but if I got a bigger one how do I know it won't mess something up?

    i’m building a pc for my brother and i and with graphics card prices going crazy right now i was thinking about taking the graphics card (and cpu as well) from this pc until the prices go back to normal since we’ve had this pc for forever and we never use it.
    would it be worth it or should i just wait until I can get a hold of a decently priced gpu?

    Needed something low cost to run Windows for remote work. Dell does not support the XPS 8700 beyond Windows 10 and anything that supports 11 was more than I wanted to spend. Picked up a bare XPS 8700 (Case, MB, PS) off eBay. Installed i7-4790, 32GB RAM, 512GB mSATA, 4x 1TB HDD, EVGA 2GB NVIDIA GTX 960, and Sound Blaster X/Fi. Setup 4x HDD as a 2TB RAID0+1. Installed Windows 10 to mSATA as C:\ and RAID as C:\Users. There is an acceptable 14% bottleneck on the EVGA card. Works well with Clip Studio Paint 2.06. When job is done, will dump Windows and run Novell openSuse Linux.

    I'm not tech savvy whatsoever, but I have an xps 8700 i5, with 500gb ssd and 8gb of ram. Do u know how much that would be worth? Or where to sell it? I'm looking to just get a laptop that can handle college. Don't necessarily need a PC. I believe the graphics card is only like a gt 635

    • @LevysCustoms
      @LevysCustoms  3 роки тому +1

      It really will depend on the area you're in and how much people are willing to pay. I'd say maybe $200-250. If you wanna sell it quick, then I'd sell it for a little less.

      It really depends on how well you want Revit to run. I'd at least suggest adding another 8GB of RAM to that configuration.

    Do you think I could take the processor out of my dell xps 7100 and use it for the pc I’m building? I’m probably going to get a 1660 super gpu and 16gb ddr4 ram

    • @LevysCustoms
      @LevysCustoms  4 роки тому

      I don't see why not. You'd just have to make sure everything is compatible with each other. I don't think Intel supported DDR4 until their 5000 series.

    I have a xps 8900, 16gb of ram, i7 6700 4chz, and a 750 GeForce graphics card. I was thinking of upgrading the graphics to a 1070, will this be okay? Also how would case swapping work for this pc.

    • @LevysCustoms
      @LevysCustoms  4 роки тому

      It should be ok to put a 1070 in there, just make sure the power supply can handle it. As for case swapping, if it's anything like the 8700, you should be able to put it into an ATX compatible case without issue.

    • @GojiHusky
      @GojiHusky 3 роки тому

      Unless you upgraded the PSU, no!
      It can handle UP to a GTX 960, which I have in my XPS 8900 right now. Case swapping, just get an ATX case, should work good

      Yes, pretty much all of it. One thing to keep in mind is that the Dell motherboard inside doesn't support overclocking.
