Upgrading a Dell Ooptiplex 7010

Thinking of buying an OptiPlex and adding these parts:

New CPU: Intel Core i5-3570
GPU: AMD RX 580 
Extra RAM: ATech 3x4gb DDR3

Recently, I upgraded from a Dell Optiplex 790 to a Dell Optiplex 7010MT.

Here is what I installed successfully into my Dell Optiplex 7010MT:

Operating System: Windows 10 Pro ‘For Workstations’ - (For Extra Features.)

SSD Drive 

DDR3 RAM

CPU - i7-3770K (can handle 1440p live streaming) (Can also handle 4K ultra HD @60fps on a 55inch Vizo tv) 

GPU - MSI Radeon AMD RX580 8G OC ( I haven’t tried upgrading to a higher gpu than the RX580 yet, but I’m certain that you can get a fair amount-more of gpu performance by trying the next level up from the RX580, and then also by upgrading the RAM to 1600 instead of having 1333mhz. )

Side Note: ( The i7-3770K CPU seems to process information faster than the GPU of the RX580. So, my advice is to find a GPU that is equally fast if not faster than the I7-3770K CPU ).

End Result: Success. Fully operational and a monster of a computer.
