Ready-to-use desktop for everyday work

The Dell OptiPlex 5040 Mini Tower arrives with Windows 11 Pro installed and a quad-core Intel Core i5-6500 processor running at 3.20 GHz with a 3.60 GHz turbo. Sixteen gigabytes of memory and a 256 GB SSD give snappy boot times and responsive multitasking for office tasks, study or light creative work. The NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 with 2 GB GDDR5 handles mainstream titles at modest settings and drives the included 24 inch monitor.

Mini-tower chassis with front-access ports

The black Mini Tower format keeps the footprint compact while leaving room for future upgrades. Four front-facing USB ports and a front audio jack put everyday peripherals within easy reach, and a single RJ45 jack provides wired network connectivity. A supplied Wi-Fi adapter adds wireless flexibility without occupying internal expansion slots.

Included peripherals complete the setup

An RGB keyboard and RGB mouse are bundled so the system is usable straight from unboxing. The 24 inch LED monitor connects directly to the GT 1030, removing the need for a separate display purchase. Windows 11 Pro is pre-activated, eliminating the time and effort of a fresh OS installation.

Questions about this item

What display outputs does the GT 1030 2GB GDDR5 provide and what resolution can it drive?

The GT 1030 2GB GDDR5 typically includes HDMI and DisplayPort outputs and can drive the included 24 inch monitor at its native 1080p resolution.

How much internal space does the OptiPlex 5040 Mini Tower chassis allow for a graphics card and extra drives?

The Mini Tower form factor fits a dual-slot card such as the installed GT 1030 and has room for additional 3.5 inch or 2.5 inch storage drives.

Which slot does the GT 1030 occupy and what power connection does it need during installation?

The GT 1030 sits in the primary PCIe x16 slot and draws all required power from the slot itself, so no separate power cable is needed.
