Check your monitor and power needs

Verify that your display has an input compatible with the GT 1030 video outputs. Ensure a free wall socket is available for the tower and another for the monitor if required. The tower provides four front USB ports and one front audio port plus a single RJ45 Ethernet jack for wired networking.

Questions about this item

Does the Dell OptiPlex 5040 come with a monitor or do I need to buy one separately?

The package includes the tower, an RGB keyboard, RGB mouse, RGB headset and a Wi-Fi adapter. A display is not included and must be purchased separately.

Is the 256 GB SSD the only storage option or are larger capacities available?

This unit ships with a single 256 GB solid-state drive. The Mini Tower chassis has internal bays so additional drives can be fitted later if more space is needed.

What kind of gaming performance can I expect from the GT 1030 2 GB card in this system?

The dedicated GT 1030 with 2 GB GDDR5 handles casual titles and older games at 1080p on low to medium settings, while the i5-6500 at 3.20 GHz base and 3.60 GHz turbo keeps general responsiveness smooth.
