Custom Built RGB Gaming PC – Dell OptiPlex SFF (Intel i7-6700, GT 1030, 1TB v2)

This is the refined revision of our i7-powered small form factor gaming build: a genuine Intel Core i7, a full terabyte of SSD storage and a dedicated NVIDIA graphics card inside a compact Dell OptiPlex chassis. It is a refurbished machine for players and multitaskers who want strong CPU performance without a full-size tower taking over the desk.

Who it's for

• Playing esports and lighter titles such as CS2, Valorant, Rocket League and Fortnite at 1080p low-to-medium settings
• Gamers who run Discord, a browser, streaming and background downloads alongside the game
• Anyone tight on desk space who still wants a properly capable, multitasking-friendly gaming PC
• Building a large game and software library without constantly deleting titles to make space

Key features

• Intel Core i7-6700 processor (3.40GHz): a quad-core CPU with Hyper-Threading, delivering eight processing threads for gaming alongside streaming, Discord, background downloads and everyday multitasking.
• NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 2GB dedicated graphics: genuine dedicated video memory and processing, giving this build real, entry-level gaming capability.
• 1TB SSD: a full terabyte of solid-state storage, enough room for a large game and software library, all running at SSD speed rather than being held back by a mechanical drive.
• Custom RGB lighting: RGB fans and lighting are fitted during the build for a genuine gaming-PC look.
• 16GB DDR3 memory: headroom for multitasking, background apps and modern games running together.
• Small form factor (SFF) chassis: compact, easy to fit on a desk or shelf without the bulk of a full tower.
• Windows 10 Pro pre-installed: genuine, activated, business-grade Windows out of the box.

Specifications

Good to know

• The i7-6700's eight threads give this small form factor machine more breathing room than a quad-core-only equivalent, which suits anyone who multitasks heavily around their gaming.
• The GT 1030 is an entry-level card, built for esports and lighter titles rather than maxed-out AAA settings. Expect smooth, playable performance at 1080p low-to-medium settings in CS2, Valorant, Rocket League and Fortnite, plus comfortable performance in older or less demanding titles.
• This unit shares its core specification with another i7 / GT 1030 / 1TB SFF build in the range. Both are built from the same verified configuration, assembled and function-tested the same way, right down to the RGB kit fitted inside.
• The machine is professionally refurbished and functionally tested before listing. Checks cover CPU and memory stability, GPU function under load, full health checks on the 1TB SSD and confirmation that the RGB lighting is correctly wired.

Choose this one if you want an i7 and a full terabyte of SSD in a small case and are happy with entry-level graphics for esports and lighter games. If you would rather have extra airflow and interior room, look at a full-size tower build instead.
