Better is Cheaper? The New Budget Level for PC Gaming

Hey brother, I bought an optiplex 7050 sff with an i5 6th gen and 16gb ram, and I'm hoping to get an rtx a2000 6gb and upgrading to an i7, and I know I'll need to upgrade the psu, how can I do that and can you drop the name for it, much love man

Yoooo Opti are there any sff pc's that have a 6th gen intel that also has 240w psu and can fit the rtx a2000 in the pcie 16 slot??

Its hard for me to find optiplex in my local market but they sell some : 9020 i7 4790 16gb ram with 500gb SSD for 170$ is it worth it ? With rx 6400 will be like 300$ 😢

There are a lot of companies in the US who send this machines to my country and sell them for ridiculous prices. I bought one two weeks ago for 200$, with a 7th gen I5. Was the best I could get with my budget, but still way overpriced. Another thing I noticed was that 7th gen was the highest generation I found in my research, I suppose that they just want to get rid of them because the incapacity of getting Windows 11. So basically they are sending to others countries in the region their trash. Cause in two years and a half those computers basically will become obsolete with Microsoft stopping the Windows 10 support. But we have to settle with this at the moment. Me personally, I've never been that into the computers world until I started to learn coding and the PC that I mentioned before was the best I could get. Hoping to upgrade to something better when I get a job in the programming/coding/developing field

Seen some 5040s & 5050s with i5 6500 / i5 7500 going between £80 - £100 here in the UK . Prices have actually dropped since I bought mine 2 years ago
