I saw that on there and considered posting it.. Can't really put together a PC for less.
Rakuten is 8% on Dell right now, but a "door buster" deal might be excluded from that.

No, you can't really game on this beyond 2d games and Minecraft at low settings.
No, you can't upgrade the graphics.

This is good for basic office/school work, browsing the web, and getting nagging McAfee pop-ups because you didn't fully uninstall the three different nagging McAfee programs.

i3-10100 = i7-7700 so basicly you can add a 750Ti and it's good for most games @1080p +low settings

I didn't have any luck with the 10% off email sign up. Chat said 'door buster' and nothing he could do.

The specs say it has a slot, but the power supply isn't generous enough to support much more than a passively cooled card, and the case might require it to be low profile.
I believe Dell power supplies are proprietary design so there will be no upgrading that.
I would look elsewhere if your intention was to game... like picking up a used gaming PC off craigslist/facebook etc.

Wait a moment, the memory isn't soldered correct? And there are slots for a PCIe x16 and M.2 2230/2280 slot for PCIe solid-state drive. So, doesn't that mean, if I wanted to upgrade, I can upgrade to a PCIe x16 video card and also get a SSD? Even the cheapest ones on ca.pcpartpicker.com? And if the mem isn't soldered, I can upgrade that to 32GB as it mentions on the link... This seems like a great deal if it can be upgraded... those are the only 3 components that may need upgrading anyways... oh, the power supply should be upgradable as well...
Thank you RFD community for helping me with spending money!

Dont think 288pin memory are ever soldered. I would even guess there are 4 ram slots available. Please check on the dell forum if you want to find out the most correct info.

Does it use a standard power supply? I can upgrade it? Is there room for a double slot graphics card? (1660ti)? Thanks

You can use a actively cooled graphics card as long as it is with the power supply limit (most likely 200W) range.

Also it is not low profile.

Yes the power supply is 6 pin Dell propietaty. If you want to upgrade you will need either get a 500W/1000W Dell on ebay or daisy chain more power supplies. Make absolutely no sense but it can be done.

Of course you can game on this, just not the latest AAA titles.

And why can't you upgrade the graphics? It's got a 16x PCIE slot. Or do you mean Dell doesn't offer an upgrade option?

Gaming with onboard graphics is pretty dodgy. Here's Witcher 3 (6 year-old-game) getting 15fps at 720p on this hardware.


The PCIe slot will let you upgrade, but it's very limited by the small PSU so there aren't a lot of options.
