They don't, notice the CPU model is non-graphics, and regardless, motherboard has no video output. You want an XPS, like this recent one

Nope! The i5-400 processor has onboard graphics. You'll have to use the included GPU or buy a different one for video out.

Nice unit, keeps coming back on sale around this price every few weeks. Got it on last deal and am happy with it so far. Has 2 free ssd slots 2.5" and one free 3.5" 4 slots for ram. If anyone upgrades the ram, I would be interested in buying the original 8gb at a reasonable price.

I have mine around somewhere

Quote from MusicShark :
If you want to upgrade to 16gb, you would have to throw away this 8gb and spend around $50 for the 16gb. So the cost add up.

That logic makes no sense. Why would you throw away the 2x4gb or 1x8gb 2666 that comes in the system? if you just want to have a 16gb kit hop on eBay/the local market and look for a matching stock stick and add it on. Or if you can't find one available, that probably means there's a market for these, so throw it up @ a buy it now of $40 bucks ($36 after eBay robs you in a month) or sell it locally for $30/$40. Then put that cash into a decent used 16gb kit which can easily be found for $50....remember any added component that Dell/HP/Lenovo etc add on in house is priced outlandishly. Most are also made in house lowering there resale value and finally... a new system for $540 with a decent cpu and a great 1080p high 60+/1440p high around 60 gpu is a deal that should be jumped on as this nonsense stock shortage/price hikes have no end in sight...rant over

i don't know what your "regular stuff" is, but if it's as light use as it sounds, then you might have a memory leak, malware, or a ton of background apps that you might want to reconsider.

16gb being the "bare minimum" is simply not true unless your workload demands it. gaming does not.

Nah, I added extra 8 GB stick bought from Amazon for $50 or so. Right now I have 16 GB total and it's perfect. What I do is I play division 2 and when I am not gaming I park my character, alt tab and do other stuff, 20-30 chrome tabs sometimes when researching, watching YouTube, etc. 8 GB simply wasn't enough for me, trust me telling by experience. It may be okay for other doing not much but I needed it for my need. 8gb is enough is an old literature these days. Even raspberry pi ships with 8gb, here we are talking about gaming desktop. Btw, memory leak is rampant on ryzen cpus, Intel is unheard of.

Quote from R0B0TPIRATE :
Play older PC games like Fallout, Orange box, etc?

What about emulation?

If you look at the GPU inside the case, it looks like a sound card, unlike anything I have seen for the GPU. But when I ran tests it showed as nvidia gpu. Funny thing is my GPU don't even have NVIDIA logo anywhere on the card, at first I thought I was duped but I was able to play division 2, and other 3D games at 1080 ultra for hours. FPS was around at 70-80 on my 144hz pixio monitor. I haven't tried emulation yet but I bet it'll run them fine. Just bought a launch box, and a windows 10 remote, this weekend I have a project am turning it into HTPC that will sit next to my other consoles for me to enjoy all retro and PC exclusives on my TV.

Question: is this tower capable of running 3 4K 120hz monitors? What about 3 1440p 120hz monitors (less ideal, but ok)? I have no intention of playing games on it, I just love smooth refresh rate monitors, and I want 3 high res 32" monitors. Dealing with stocks, spreadsheets, tons of chrome tabs, a few desktops, etc.


I'd upgrade the RAM, of course.

Decent specs. Good price. But... you lost all of my interest at Dell. Never again. Never again.
