Dell OptiPlex Gaming Tower (Intel i7-8700, GTX 1050 Ti, 32GB)

This refurbished Dell OptiPlex gaming tower pairs an 8th-generation Intel Core i7-8700 with a dedicated GTX 1050 Ti graphics card, 32GB of RAM and over 2.5TB of combined storage. The memory and storage are the point: it suits gamers who also stream, record or multitask, and anyone who wants a budget gaming PC that never feels short on RAM.

Who it's for

• Gamers who stream or record while playing, running a game, Discord and OBS or streaming software together
• Multitaskers who keep a browser with dozens of tabs open alongside games
• Content creators and students who need more memory than the games themselves demand
• Casual and competitive esports players on a budget, playing CS2, Valorant, League of Legends, Fortnite on lower settings or Rocket League

Key features

• Intel Core i7-8700 Processor: a 6-core, 12-thread 8th-generation “Coffee Lake” CPU running at 3.2GHz base and boosting up to 4.6GHz, which still holds up well for gaming and multitasking and keeps the CPU from being the bottleneck.
• NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti (4GB): dedicated Pascal-architecture graphics with 4GB of GDDR5 memory for gaming performance beyond what integrated graphics can offer.
• 32GB DDR4 Memory: double the RAM of most budget gaming PCs in this price bracket, giving serious headroom for gaming while streaming, running background applications or heavy browser use.
• 512GB SSD + 2TB HDD: fast solid-state storage for your OS and go-to games, plus 2TB of traditional hard drive space for the rest of your library, media and files.
• Full Tower Case: more room to breathe than a small form factor unit, with better airflow and more headroom for future upgrades.
• Windows 11 Pro: pre-installed and ready to use.
• Professionally Refurbished: tested and inspected before it is shipped to you.
• Ports & Connectivity: full-size rear and front I/O typical of a Dell OptiPlex tower, including multiple USB 3.0 ports, DisplayPort video output and Gigabit Ethernet for a stable wired connection during online gaming.

Specifications

Good to know

• The GTX 1050 Ti is an entry-level card by current standards, originally launched in 2016. It suits esports titles at smooth 1080p frame rates and older or less demanding AAA titles at low-to-medium settings.
• Don’t expect to max out the newest blockbuster releases or push high-refresh gaming.
• As a refurbished unit, expect light cosmetic wear consistent with prior use. Every system is functionally tested before sale.
• The full tower form factor leaves room to drop in a more powerful graphics card later.
• The machine has been unboxed, cleaned, inspected and functionally tested by a technician before it goes on sale.

Choose this over the 16GB OptiPlex and HP models if memory and storage matter most to you. Choose something with a stronger graphics card if high settings in new AAA games are the goal.
