Funny enough, I just finished building a "budget" gaming inspiron that i found outside in the dumpster of my apartments. Same specs at yours too. It had an i3 6100. Luckily, an i5 6400 is cheap enough to buy used. I bought one for 24 bucks off of eBay. I later bought a used oem 315w optiplex power supply that happened to have a 6 pin pcie connector. I ended up using a gtx 1650 and a old 1tb ssd that i had in my inspiron. It works pretty well, I didn't have to do much after the initial boot-up other than installing Windows 10 and the Nvidia driver for the 1650 I got.

That's awesome man! That's what I wanted to do originally but couldn't find any good deals on parts. I've been trying to score a good deal locally on a 70 watt gpu but people always want $100 o rmore. I'd be curious how a 6700 would run on this board as well. Thanks for sharing and I'm glad it worked out for you!

You can install a GTX 750 up to the NEW RTX 3050 6GB.. au to 32 GB RAM, and Core i5 And after all it is a 15$ PC, what do you had expected? I Found my AMD Phenom X4 PC on the Street, With 4 GB RAM 1 GB Gefroce GT 430. And i Installed 16 GB RAM and a GTX 650Ti 2GB and is works fine for some older Games and Office and Internet.

It definitely needs an SSD. Using a HDD as a boot drive in 2024 is painful as hell. I have one I'll probably throw in there but for the video I wanted to keep it at a $0 budget. If I could find a GPU that only takes PCie power second hand I would love to try it but they aren't cheap.

The lack of harddrive detection is because Intel Rapid Storage Technology. You can set it to AHCI mode rather than RAID mode in BIOS to skip this step. Intel RST can be beneficial in certain cases (like if you are lazy and don't want to set up software raid yourself, or just want a simple mirror of the boot drive), but it's all OS-level software raid now. More resiliency as you arent dependent on any specific controller. It can be a really cheap NAS machine. throw some PCIe to NVMe adapters, or even just stack spinning rust. The case look big, so it should fit a good few.

Interesting! I did notice it had a setting for turning Intel rapid storage on, but I tried it both on and off didn't notice a difference with the detection. Great to know for future reference. Thanks for the tip.

I mean if you want to play old games yeah its fine but thats a pretty limited use case. 2 cores really isnt enough now adays. And if you start upgrading it your putting money into something that has very little upgradeability. Its just not really worth it.

do you already own a NAS device? if not, than it might be a perfect use case for the little i3. pull that HDD out and fill it with cheap SSD's. leave the expansion slots open and down the road you can add a breakout card with more SATA ports for more storage and a faster NIC if your network is running at faster speeds and you want to take advantage. ...... all in, your cost would be super low and you are in a position to use the crap out of it. filming and editing youtube videos you will eventually fill up however much storage you have now.

I have the ZimaBoard that I sort of use as a NAS, I have a video reviewing it if you want to check it out, but that is a good idea for something like this. I have 4 TBs of SSDs, an 8 TB HDD, and a 10 TB external for now but I download a lot of stuff so between that and videos from my new camera it is filling up.
