OptiPlex 3060 desktop with i5-8500

This Dell OptiPlex 3060 desktop computer is built around an Intel Core i5-8500 processor and comes with 16 GB of DDR3 memory. It includes a 1 TB SSD and a 1 TB SATA hard drive for storage, and ships with Windows 11 Pro already installed. The bundle adds a wired keyboard, USB mouse, RGB speakers and an oversized mouse pad.

Suited for everyday office and home use

The six-core processor and 16 GB of RAM handle web browsing, email, video calls and document work smoothly. The dual-drive layout gives both fast boot times and a large capacity for files. Buyers who need DDR4 memory, a newer CPU generation or a dedicated graphics card for modern gaming should consider a different system.

Graphics decided by the GeForce 1030

The installed GeForce 1030 provides basic display output and light graphical acceleration. It is not designed for current 3D titles or GPU-intensive workloads. If the intended use requires higher graphics performance, this desktop will not meet that need.
