I am planning to replace my current rig T7500 with a T5810 for $290 (not yet bought) which comes with the following specs:

  • Intel Xeon E5-1650 V3 (6c/12T)
  • 750 GB SATA SSD ( 500GB SSD + 250 GB SSD)
  • Nvidia Quadro M2000 (4 GB) GPU
  • 48 GB DDR4 ECC RAM
  • PSU: 685W

So my question is whether I can upgrade the CPU and PSU to the max, what is the best and latest supported CPU and PSU for this machine. Also, I have RTX 2060 which I intend to install. I am hoping it can handle the load. I’d be using this rig with Windows 11 23H2 and some casual gaming.

    The T5820 is a superior machine, for about the same price, especially if you game as it can support higher powered graphics cards - up to a 4080 I believe.

    Have a pair of them in the home office - one for me, one for the kid - they are great machines. The NVME drives in the front is a great option to get, imo - as they are blazing fast (>2Gbps).

    Bought both of mine from PCSP - nice transactions on both.
