i5 4590 optimized for gaming performance
I need a budget-friendly setup for teaching kids PC basics. Looking for options like Optiplex or similar. Maybe later upgrade to 1030 or 1050. Would the 4590 work for Sims 4, Minecraft, Rocket League? It’s not meant for serious gaming—they also have a Wii U and it’s too young for a baller system. Still, I want good value.
Office computers usually lack room for a full graphics card, and their sizes often don’t match standard options. Consider buying a used gaming PC, as many older models are still available. A 4590 might work, but four cores with four threads could be restrictive.
For a full tower setup, you’ll have space for a standard graphics card. The power supply will likely limit performance, but a decent GPU should work. Consider models such as the Dell Precision T5810 and HP Z240 or Z440. These use affordable LGA 2011-3 processors, and ECC DDR4 memory is becoming more affordable, which can extend their lifespan. They typically include room for at least one powerful GPU.
The game's specifications have increased significantly, making older systems like the Athlon64x2 struggle to run it smoothly.
It will execute it without issue. The system should manage tasks similar to what a 1060-1070 GPU can process.
Yes, it's enough. You have a gaming PC and a Steam Deck, so they likely need more power for better performance. Thanks for the clarification. Always handy to have specific search terms on eBay instead of just "PC." PSU is acceptable since you won’t exceed 75W. It should work fine, though I’m not entirely sure. I’m trying to play Bedrock Edition or the kids’ games. What’s going on? I’m confused about all this. I understand 1060 or 1070 processors, but it’s hard to grasp. Confusing stuff!
The 4590 is moving too slowly in 2022. Consider getting a 12100f for $110, a cheap board for $50, and RAM for $30. Grab a cheap SSD from Microcenter, a free case on FB marketplace or Craigslist, plus a budget PSU. You're looking at around $200 total, then you can choose any GPU you like.
Well... not the worst option, though Microcenter would have to relocate to Germany. The current market here isn't great, and new products tend to cost more than in the US... It's not ideal, but that's the situation.
Consider adding another $120 for a genuine Windows license you need to install. If you also need the remaining components, expect to exceed $500. This setup could look like this: Dell Optiplex 7040 with an i5 6500 processor, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD, and a Windows Pro license for 165 Euro. https://www.ebay.de/itm/195069117072
4590 works perfectly for Minecraft and similar games. My daughter has a PC each—one with a 4590, another with a 4690, plus a GTX 970 and a 980 Ti. They run titles like Destiny 2, Warframe, and Division 2 without any problems and with solid performance. I always aim for the best value. Keep in mind these systems aren’t ready-made office setups; they’re built from individual parts I sourced. Not exactly the same as a prebuilt machine.
