Business desktop with i7-6700

The DELL OptiPlex 7040 SFF is a compact business desktop built around a 3.4 GHz quad-core i7-6700 processor with 8 MB L3 cache. It ships with 32 GB of DDR4 memory and a 512 GB NVMe PCIe M.2 SSD for fast boot and load times. Integrated Intel HD 530 graphics drive the display outputs. The system arrives with a fresh Windows 10 Home installation and a genuine COA sticker.

Small form factor connectivity

The slim black chassis fits tight desk spaces while providing six USB 3.0 ports and four USB 2.0 ports for peripherals. Video output relies on two DisplayPort connectors and one HDMI port; no VGA or DVI ports are present, so older monitors require an adapter. A single serial port and Gigabit Ethernet round out the rear I/O. No keyboard, mouse or monitor are included in the box.

Platform limits

The Intel Q170 chipset and 6th-generation Core architecture restrict memory to DDR4 and limit modern OS upgrade paths beyond Windows 10. Integrated graphics share system memory and are suited for office applications rather than 3D workloads. The small form factor restricts internal expansion to low-profile cards and offers no room for additional 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch drives. Buyers needing discrete graphics or more internal storage should consider a larger tower.
