Would it be simple to add a better graphics card to this machine?
I want a PC which can play some of the latest games but I don't want to pay loads for it... plus I don't want a really noisey machine. Would this Dell PC do the job (obviously after a graphics upgrade, if possible?)

| Yes its very easy to upgrade this, just make sure you buy a PCI-Express video card. Its just a matter of undoing a bolt on the back of the computer, removing the side panel and connecting in the card to the slot. |

Ah okay, thanks sinjin_smythe.
Any idea how much a decent PCI-Express video card would cost, one which could play the latest games?
Thanks

| You would be looking at £80 upwards for a decent spec video card for 3d gaming. Its worth keeping an eye on the Overclockers website for good bargains on graphics cards, always check reviews before buying as recommended gaming specs are always changing. |

Thanks again. Got another question.
I noticed the PSU is only 300W. Would this be enough for powering two monitors on a dual-monitor setup? Or would it struggle?
Thanks again for any help

| Most modern cards have dual outputs so you should only need one card. |

Ahh yes, oops 
I think I meant would the graphics on the motherboard be capable of running dual monitors? Or do you think it might struggle? If that makes sense...

| The motherboard graphics only has one output. You'll need a new gfx card with 2 outputs. |

There's no need for this normally, as there is (as with all my Dell offers) a direct link to the deal but for some reason ALL direct links to Dell's site are currently failing via rpoints. I've raised a question here: http://www.rpoints.com/bb/viewtopic.php?t=1165767 which will hopefully produce some answers soon.
