I've built my cabinet, mounted 3 screens and am ready to finalize my PC. My current PC is temporary.. i need to return it to my wife's office before she realizes i stole it.

I am currently using 

 

Dell XPS 8900

I7-6700

16gb ram

GTX 745 for the DMD 720p

GTX 1050ti for backglass 720p and playfield 1080p

128gb SSD for OS

500gb HDD for Visual Pinball/Storage

CPUbenchmark.net 10,006

futuremark.com 10140

Seeing that Visual Pinball is telling me that is it running at 269 FPS average that I've slightly overkilling it.

 

I was considering a craigslist find 

Dell Optiplex 990MT

I5-2400

4gb ram

using the GTX 1050ti for all three monitors

250GB HDD

CPUbenchmark.net 5922

futuremark.com 5250

 

How do you think the new system would run?

That would work fine only I would add an SSD.

Make sure the RAM is the faster DDR3 / 1333Mhz also.

Looks decent.

 

SSD is worth it for sure. 250GB is fine - I would run 2 of the same drive and use the second drive to close the OS (point in time copies) in case you mess it up during the build.

 

Also would bump the RAM. 4 is light to run the OS. Better to go with at least 8. I run 16, although probably don't need to.
