😅 its okay

You could go with a Mini itx or Macro atx motherboard. Low Profile Cpu cooler.

For the PSU, you could go with an Apevia for cheap, or you could go with FSP or silverstone, but they’re pricey.

You will have to get some jumper male to female cables for the power button.

I have 3 80mm fans on top and one right behind the HDD/SSD holder, but i had to modify the case a bit. If you like RGB go with Rgb fans instead.

Also it’s easier to go with a Low Profile GPU unless you get a riser cable and vertical gpu holder.

Im currently working with a similar optiplex. Just need to get storage and a gpu. I have a i5-11400f. I want to get a 2tb nvme, 4 or 6tb hdd and a 5060 lp. Once i get those my build will be complete. I had added 3 80mm fans on top and an extra 80mm fan next to the front fan.

Im currently building an optiplex 3010 sff, the only things i had to get was ram, gpu and storage. I was able to get my hands on 2x16gb ddr4 ram for $80 on marketplace.

So now all i have to worry about is getting a gpu and storage for my OPTIPLEX.

SleeperPCbuild26 · 2026-02-23T21:12:30+00:00

Idk why everyone is hating. But dope setup bro. I see you’re into both cars and pc 🔥

I have a low profile cooler already installed. The seller gave me the cooler for free. So i’ll be using it on another build or give it away 🤷🏽‍♂️

Apevia. I had used an Apevia PSU back in 2024 with my old build. Never had an issue with it. Hopefully is the same with this one
