First off I'd check on the DELL site to make sure whatever you decide to buy will actually FIT in the casing.
A lot of these branded computers nowadays only accept 'cut down' versions of 'stuff' or you are limited to buying the puter manufacturers versions of vid cards etc..hey it boosts their profits to tie buyers into only using their branded stuff. A 'full deal' card may not have enough elbow room in the box. :giddy: |
