Tower desktop for everyday work

The Dell OptiPlex 7040 Tower is a new desktop PC built around an Intel Core i5-6500 processor running at 3.2 GHz with a turbo frequency of 3.60 GHz. It includes 32GB of DDR4 RAM and a 1TB solid-state drive for fast boot and load times. An NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 card with 2GB of dedicated memory provides an HDMI output for a single display. The system ships with Windows 10 Pro, a wireless USB Wi-Fi adapter and an RGB gaming keyboard and mouse bundle.

GT 1030 suits light graphical tasks only

The GeForce GT 1030 2GB is an entry-level graphics card designed for general desktop use, video playback and basic photo editing. It offers a single HDMI port and is not intended for modern gaming titles or GPU-accelerated workloads that require higher memory bandwidth or compute performance. Buyers who want more graphics power for 3D rendering or high-refresh gaming will need a different class of card.

32GB DDR4 and 1TB SSD define capacity

The 32GB DDR4 memory configuration supports heavy multitasking and virtual machines without paging. The 1TB solid-state drive holds the operating system, applications and a large media library in one volume. Users who need more storage or plan to run memory-intensive server workloads should verify whether the chassis and motherboard allow additional drives or larger modules before purchase.
