Plenty of people wouldn't want that even for general use. The best CPU you could drop in is a Core 2 Duo. The whole system is typically worth more in parts than what it's being sold for (because of their limitation to low profile PCIe cards). You could get a new HP Elite or Dell Optiplex system instead, they typically sell for 100-150$ and have a Core i5 2nd-4th gen, at least a 500GB HDD and may even come with an SSD and 8GB RAM. Once what's compatible with the 745, I will be upgrading it at micro center&make a complete post. Oh, and in case if you're wondering what games I'm trying to upgrade it to run, its games like Minecraft,tf2,cs:go,killing floor 2,warzone,overwatch and GTA V. But, I am looking to upgrade the following: *PSU *Give it a low profile GPU (the best one there is without modifying the case) *SSD (The 745 I own used to have a hard drive, but I ended up destroying it.) *CPU ( *Motherboard (maybe?) *RAM (if I can give it more than 4gb?) *a new OS (Windows 10) the optiplex currently runs windows 7 professional And that's about it. The specs that it has are unknown but it may be just the same spec you'll see in any 745. I am looking to upgrade it to run games to make it worth a while. The Optiplex is super dusty when I checked it out again after years of basically being abandoned. Windows 10 will have most of the system drivers required inbuilt however you can install the Windows 7 Drivers if you have any unknown Devices in the Device Manager.Hello, I have a Dell Optiplex 745 I received for free from my middle school years ago. The Windows Vista OEM or Windows XP Product Key won't be compatible with Windows 10 Installation Media however you can run Windows 10 Unlicensed.
