Dell OptiPlex Q&A Pt. 1: OptiPlex vs. New, CPU & Mobo Upgrades, GPU Upgrades & More

You had questions, and I've got some answers in the first part of our OptiPlex Q&A. I'll be covering questions about CPU, GPU and motherboard upgrades. We'll be comparing a used OptiPlex build to a budget new PC build. And we'll also be talking about some power supply questions. This is just part one, so if you don't see your question, I'll get to it in the the next two parts.
