Not too bad, just upgrade that x1300 to something with a bit more juice if you want to do some gaming. Otherwise looks like a nice rig.

Can you double up a x1300? if so, that'd work too.

Otherwise, very nice deal.

That isn't a gaming machine. Thus, you can't get a "real" GPU in there from Dell. If you make certain the power supply can handle a better GPU, then the cost is whatever a "real" GPU costs you. Or you can wait for a deal on a model that is a gaming machine.
