Custom Built RGB Gaming PC – Dell OptiPlex SFF (Intel i7-6700, GT 1030, 1TB v2)

This is the refined revision of our i7-powered small form factor gaming build — same core formula of a genuine Intel Core i7, a full terabyte of SSD storage, and a dedicated NVIDIA graphics card inside a compact Dell OptiPlex chassis, put together for players and multitaskers who want strong CPU performance without a full-size tower taking over the desk.

Key Features

• Intel Core i7-6700 processor (3.40GHz) — a quad-core CPU with Hyper-Threading, delivering eight processing threads for gaming alongside streaming, Discord, background downloads, and everyday multitasking.
• NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 2GB dedicated graphics — genuine dedicated video memory and processing, giving this build real (entry-level) gaming capability.
• Massive 1TB SSD — a full terabyte of solid-state storage throughout, enough room for a large game and software library without the constant juggling a smaller drive forces on you.
• Custom RGB lighting — RGB fans and lighting fitted during the build for a genuine gaming-PC aesthetic.
• 16GB DDR3 memory — generous headroom for multitasking, background apps, and modern games running together.
• Small form factor (SFF) chassis — genuinely compact, easy to fit on a desk or shelf without the bulk of a full tower.
• Windows 10 Pro pre-installed — genuine, activated, business-grade Windows out of the box.

Strong Multitasking in a Small Footprint

The i7-6700’s eight threads are the real differentiator in this build. Whether you’re running a game while Discord, a browser, and a download or two sit in the background, or simply prefer having headroom rather than a CPU that’s constantly maxed out, eight threads give this small form factor machine noticeably more breathing room than a quad-core-only equivalent. It’s a genuinely sensible pairing for anyone who multitasks heavily around their gaming, not just those chasing benchmark numbers.

On the graphics side, the GT 1030 is honestly an entry-level card rather than a high-performance one — it’s built for esports and lighter titles, not maxed-out AAA settings. Expect smooth, playable performance at 1080p low-to-medium settings in games like CS2, Valorant, Rocket League, and Fortnite, plus comfortable performance in older or less demanding titles. Combined with the 1TB SSD, you get plenty of room to actually build out a game library rather than constantly deleting titles to make space, all running at SSD speed rather than being held back by a mechanical drive.

Fitting this specification into a small form factor case rather than a full tower makes it a strong pick for anyone tight on desk space who still wants a properly capable, multitasking-friendly gaming PC. As with every unit we sell, it has been professionally refurbished and functionally tested before listing.

If you’ve been comparing listings and noticed this shares its core specification with another i7 / GT 1030 / 1TB SFF build in our range, that’s intentional rather than an accident — both are built from the same verified configuration, assembled and function-tested in the same way, right down to the RGB kit fitted inside. Stock levels and small pricing differences at any given time are usually the only real distinction between the two listings, so feel free to pick whichever is in stock or better priced when you check out; the hardware, the testing process, and the end result are the same either way.

As with its sibling listing, every stage of this build is individually verified — CPU and memory stability, GPU function under load, full health checks on the 1TB SSD, and confirmation that the RGB lighting is correctly wired — before it’s ever listed for sale. You’re not just buying a spec sheet; you’re buying a machine that’s already been proven to work exactly as described.
