Dell OptiPlex Gaming Desktop (Intel i5-8500, GTX 1050 Ti, Dual Storage)
$478.89
This is a refurbished Dell OptiPlex tower fitted with a genuine discrete NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, so it can play games rather than just run office software. A 6-core Intel Core i5-8500, 16GB of DDR4 memory and 3TB of combined storage (1TB SSD plus 2TB HDD) make it one of the more capable machines in a refurbished lineup. It suits budget gamers and students who want 1080p play without paying for a new build.
Who it's for
- Playing esports titles such as CS2, Valorant, Fortnite, League of Legends and Rocket League comfortably at 1080p
- Running older or less demanding AAA games, and most other modern titles at 1080p on medium settings
- A student who wants to game between classes, or a second household PC for the kids
- Everyday computing, light video editing, streaming and multitasking-heavy work
Key features
- Intel Core i5-8500 processor: a 6-core, 6-thread 8th Generation “Coffee Lake” CPU at 3.0GHz base with Turbo Boost up to 4.1GHz and 9MB of cache, a clear step up from quad-core predecessors.
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti (4GB GDDR5): a discrete card with 768 CUDA cores on a 128-bit memory bus, so gaming does not depend on integrated graphics.
- 16GB DDR4 memory: enough headroom for a game alongside Discord, a browser and background apps, or for productivity and content work.
- 1TB SSD: a full terabyte of solid-state storage as the primary drive, giving fast boot times and quick game and app loading across your whole main drive, not just a small boot partition.
- 2TB HDD: large secondary storage for your game library, media files and backups.
- Dell OptiPlex build quality: engineered for enterprise reliability, in a tower chassis with the airflow and expansion room to house a discrete GPU, unlike many small-form-factor office PCs.
- Windows 11 Pro (genuine license): fully licensed and up to date, ready to game or work out of the box.

Good to know
- Refurbished: this unit is a refurbished Dell OptiPlex that has been tested and verified fully functional, with the GPU and storage configuration confirmed working prior to sale.
- Testing: each unit is fully diagnosed and stress-tested across CPU, GPU, memory, storage and power delivery, with the discrete graphics card verified under load rather than just powered on.
- Honest GPU limits: the GTX 1050 Ti is a mid-2016-era card. It stays capable at 1080p esports gaming and on older or less demanding AAA titles at medium settings, but it will not run the newest ultra-detailed releases at high settings or handle ray tracing.
- Beyond gaming: the i5-8500's 6 cores make it a strong all-rounder for everyday computing, and with 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD as primary storage it stays responsive.
Choose this one over the 256GB SSD plus 1TB HDD version of the same GTX 1050 Ti OptiPlex if you want 3TB of storage with a 1TB SSD as the main drive. If you want a stronger graphics card, look at a higher-tier GPU instead.
