Dell Optiplex 5040 - SSF vs Mini Tower + Specs

[cheery]

Hi guys,

Any idea if the chasis is equal to which type?

SSF = mini-itx? 180W

Mini Tower = MATX? 240W

Psu : 85% or 92% efficiency?


Their PSU, Proprietary or can replace easily with Silverstone or Corsair PSU?

The rest of the specs of the sys more or less I know what I want already.

For office work (with photo and video editing)

3.4ghz i5-6500 vs 3.6ghz i7-6700
Amd Radeon R5 340X, 2gb. Vs R7 350X, 4gb

Any comments?

Go check their website? Their pdf sheet give a lot of details, like what parts etc.

Ssf psu usually tfx psu. Issue with gpu is need to be low profile, hence, lousier cards. Mobo can either be proprietary size, flex atx or matx.

Small tower is usually matx with standard atx psu (might be sfx psu size)

The small tower usually best option if u looking into upgrade. Change to a betterpsu and throw in a fury nano.

Looks like though SSF is nice but for future upgradeability, Mini-Tower is better.

Not sure if anyone changed their psu before.. will there be proprietary protection?

Any other comments abt the various options for my usage?
