RTX 580 Plus Dell OptiPlex listing on eBay
He thought purchasing an RTX 580 graphics card and a Dell OptiX tower would improve his gaming experience. I cautioned him it wasn't wise, but he went ahead anyway. On eBay you'll often find low-quality Dell OptiX towers. If things don’t work out, here are some PC component suggestions just in case.
He purchased a Dell Optiplex based on what games he plays. The attached photo shows a system priced at 130 USD featuring a sandy bridge design, likely an i5 2500k processor, 250gb SSD, and a full setup. If he installed a RX 580 graphics card, performance would likely be limited, but for titles like CS:GO, Overwatch, Valorant, or League of Legends he should comfortably run 1080p at high frame rates. Depending on the cost of the graphics card, he could build a more affordable system under 250 USD that matches his preferences. You should discuss his priorities since his choices might reflect different expectations than yours.
He wants to enjoy Rust, Minecraft Subnautica, Fortnite Unturned, and Assassins Creed. His old machine wasn’t handling the graphics well anymore, so he chose to upgrade.
