Upgrading Dell Optiplex 745 Mini Tower. Help please?
Hello!
My grandma gave me an old Dell Optiplex 745 and I would like to upgrade it into a gaming computer. I have never upgraded hardware, this is my tinker computer. Could someone please recommend the parts that I will need to run the games below? I will include the game specifications as well.:
Sea of Thieves:
4 GB RAM, DirectX 11, Nvidia GeForce GTX 650 or AMD Radeon 7750
Sims 4:
Intel Core i5, 4 GB RAM, Hard Drive 9 GB
Thank you!

An actual Radeon 7750 will work fine but RADEON R Series will not.
I would recommend a GT1030 instead.

That model is now 12 years old... There is very little you can do to bring it up to specification of a modern computer.

The GX620 TOWER is even older and works fine with windows 10 and a new GPU.
GTX 1030 is recommended because the 1050TI are too expensive right now. The coinminers are also driving up the price of gpu's so that a $139 1050 ti is now well over $200. There is also the issue of fake GPUs being sold.
