Want to build me a gaming pc for Fortnite Gta 5 and Valorant

Since I have very little money as a student, I want to buy an old office PC and upgrade it to a gaming pc.

get this pc without hard drive for 50 euro

it would be worth it to buy a used GraKa and upgrade it with an ssd

and if so, which graphics card?

Looks good at first, ssd in, about 50 euro, gpu e.g. GTX 1650 about 150 euro.

so together around 250-300 euro

Seems like a solid base. I've done something like that a couple of times for friends. So far everyone has been very satisfied.

But keep in mind that you may have to replace the power supply. These office PCs are usually around 300W. That is no longer enough for the graphics card. And there's the next thing to consider: I think Dell sometimes builds in power supplies with their own connection. That means that new power supplies don't just fit onto the boards. It could also be that it was HP… I'm not sure. But in the photos it looks like a normal power supply connector on the board…

Nope, because the graphics card and ssd are currently sooo expensive that it doesn't matter whether you get it for fuffi or for free and because the pc will have more quirks than power supply. By monday at the latest, this is more expensive here, but that's still a top deal for 410 euro: https://hardwarerat.de/...eiger?c=77

it is much better, even without a graphics card

if you don't have the money, you don't need to start with your office pc idea either

Um…

Buy GraKa used and ssds are available with 240 gb already used from 27 euro

Ok, i had overlooked the one with the used graphics cards

Which used graphics card would I recommend playing the games on low but wants around 60 fps or more

me

The cpu should definitely come along

Is just the question what fürn power supply that is and whether you continue to use it. Ne 1050ti would be the closest. Or used gtx 1660
