Compact Gaming Desktop

This Dell OptiPlex small-form-factor desktop is configured for casual gaming and everyday productivity. An Intel Core i5-6500 quad-core processor runs at 3.2 GHz and can reach 3.60 GHz, paired with 8 GB of DDR3 memory and a 256 GB solid-state drive. Windows 10 Pro is pre-installed, and the bundle adds an RGB keyboard, mouse and USB Wi-Fi adapter.

SSD-Driven Responsiveness

The 256 GB solid-state drive keeps boot times short and application launches quick, but the capacity limits the number of modern titles you can keep installed simultaneously. DDR3 memory and the 6th-generation Core architecture restrict performance in newer games that rely on faster memory bandwidth or higher core counts. The small-form-factor chassis also restricts internal expansion space for additional drives or larger cards.

Air-Cooled SFF Build

A standard air-cooling solution fits the slim chassis and handles the 65 W processor within the confined layout. The front panel includes remote-controlled RGB lighting with adjustable modes, speed and brightness for desktop ambience. Bundled wired RGB keyboard and mouse connect via USB, while a supplied USB Wi-Fi adapter provides wireless networking without occupying an internal slot.
