Dell 3020 SFF Gaming PC (Intel i5-4570, GT 1030)

This refurbished Dell OptiPlex 3020 small form factor desktop pairs an Intel Core i5-4570 with an upgraded NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 discrete graphics card. It adds real gaming and video capability to a proven, compact business PC platform on a budget. It suits light gaming, everyday computing and small-footprint setups.

Who it's for

• Esports titles, older and indie games and retro gaming at 1080p on modest settings
• Everyday browsing, office work and streaming from a small, quiet PC
• A second household PC or a kids' PC
• A compact HTPC setup on a shelf or under a TV

Key features

• Intel Core i5-4570 processor: A quad-core, quad-thread CPU with a 3.2GHz base clock, Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz and 6MB of cache. A well-regarded, reliable chip that still handles modern web browsing, office software and light gaming comfortably.
• NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 (2GB GDDR5): A discrete GPU with 384 CUDA cores that needs no external power connector. It suits esports titles, older and indie games and smooth 1080p video at lower settings, and it is a real step up from integrated graphics.
• 16GB RAM: Well above what smooth everyday computing, multitasking and light gaming require, which avoids the bottlenecks of a low-RAM budget PC.
• 1TB SSD: A full terabyte of solid-state storage as the primary drive, so you get fast boot and load times across all your storage, not just a small boot partition.
• Dell OptiPlex 3020 Small Form Factor chassis: A compact, business-grade case built for years of dependable daily use, small enough to tuck away on or under a desk.
• Windows 10 Pro (genuine license): Fully licensed and ready to work or play right out of the box.
• Connectivity: Multiple USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 ports, Gigabit Ethernet, and video outputs from both the motherboard and the GT 1030 card for multi-monitor setups.

Specifications

Good to know

• Entry-level GPU: The GT 1030 is built for esports titles, older games and lighter workloads at 1080p on modest settings, plus smooth video playback. It is not for maxed-out settings in the latest demanding AAA releases.
• Refurbished: As a professionally refurbished unit, this OptiPlex 3020 has been through a complete diagnostic and functional test (CPU, upgraded GPU, memory and storage, checked under real workload) prior to sale, with the upgraded GPU and 1TB SSD confirmed functional. Minor cosmetic wear consistent with prior use may be present on the case.
• Room to grow: The small form factor case still has room inside for further storage expansion if your needs grow.

Choose this OptiPlex if you want a small, quiet PC with a real graphics card and a lot of fast storage. For newer-generation processors or more graphics power, look at the other OptiPlex and ProDesk builds.
