Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- A used Dell Optiplex with an i5-8400 costs under $150, add an SSD to that and you've got a GREAT office PC for under 300 bucks. That's what I would do.
- No rest for the wicked's minimum requirement for cpu is i5-8400, which is faster than a 7700 with 6-cores.
Cons
- i5 8400
- I recently bought a gaming pc for 300$ with a i5-8400 and a gtx 1080 i got 16gb of ddr4 dont know the speed and i have a 750w psu
- It's fine. i5-8400 is an earlier ddr4 CPU so really it's designed with slower RAM in mind. 2666 ram won't have as much of an effect as a newer CPU. It's important to manage your expectations, though. In newer games you might need to add...
- That CPU is too old to consider.
- The CPU is a notably ancient i5 8400, which I have no interest in using. My relatively simple Dell Vostro laptop CPU runs circles around this thing.

In newer games you might need to add an fps cap for better stability since i5-8400 is a decent, but older CPU. Still meets requirements for 95 percent of games tho!!
