Ready-to-play desktop with GT 1030 graphics

This Dell OptiPlex small-form-factor system pairs an Intel Core i5-6500 quad-core processor running at 3.20 GHz with an NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 2 GB card. Sixteen gigabytes of DDR3 memory and a 256 GB solid-state drive keep Windows 10 Pro responsive for everyday work and light gaming. The chassis includes a remote-controlled RGB front panel for quick lighting changes.

Bundled keyboard, mouse

A wired HAJAAN RGB gaming keyboard and matching mouse arrive in the box, both featuring backlit LEDs for low-light use. A USB Wi-Fi adapter adds wireless connectivity without occupying internal slots. These accessories let you start working or playing immediately after connecting a display.

Compact air-cooled chassis with HDMI and DVI outputs

The slim OptiPlex case relies on standard air cooling and fits tight desk spaces. Video outputs on the GT 1030 provide HDMI and DVI ports for dual-monitor configurations. Front-panel RGB lighting is adjusted by the supplied remote, while the included power cord delivers mains power to the internal supply.

Questions about this item

What type of memory will I need if I want to upgrade the 16 GB RAM later?

The system uses DDR3 modules, so any future memory upgrade must match that generation.

Which component will hit its limit first during long gaming sessions?

The GeForce GT 1030 2 GB graphics card will reach its performance ceiling before the Intel Core i5-6500 processor does.

How loud and hot does the small-form-factor chassis get when running all day?

Air cooling in the slim chassis keeps the i5-6500 at its 3.20 GHz base clock, though sustained loads push fan speeds higher.
