Advice on Optiplex 3060 SFF upgrades
By scrolling through this subreddit and looking at your amazing builds I was amazed at how much you can modify these machines and got me really motivated to customize one myself.
That is why I just bought a stock 3060 SFF to make some simple upgrades on a tight budget, for the moment I've installed an SSD. Firstly, I am considering to add another 8gb or ram in the remaining slot but I am not sure if I should buy a 16gb kit with more speed than the base 2400mhz or just purchase a 8gb module.
I was also considering a GPU but I am quite limited by the 200W power supply: With the base PSU I could install a gtx 1650 low profile but if I upgraded it I would be able to buy a GTX 1060 or similar. Is it worthwhile to upgrade de PSU? For the ones running a SSF rig, do mini ITX GPUs fit in the case?
In terms of cooling, should I add fans to the case to improve airflow and/or change the CPU cooler?
Thank you for taking the time to read this!
