    Optiplex 390 Tech Guide

    Not as many upgrade options for the 390.  It's not really a gaming machine, but it's still upgradeable.

    For an I5, it can take Intel® Core™ i5 2400 / 3.10GHz, 6M, VT-x, 95W 

    Hardly anything in the tech guide for GPU's.  Userbuilds can be tested at userbenchmark.com.  You might have to go in from Google with a configuration, like "Optiplex 390 MT GTX 1050 userbenchmark," for example, and go from there.

    Tip:  In the tech guide, I had to use "processor" instead of "CPU" for the search term.

    The size of your 390 isn't mentioned. "MT" above is just an example.
