Hi..I am thinking of getting a base unit off ebay for my son and was looking at some of the dual xeon dell systems,i was wondering if i added a powerfull graphics card to one of these dual xeon machines,would it be ok for serious gaming as they already have loads of ram and fast hard drives.Got about £200 to spend and can pick one up for under that,thought the processing power might be good for a gaming system.is this a good route to take or am i miss informed?:confused:
 
i think they are 5130 cpus and are 2ghz not 2.8,sorry my mistake.Remember i only have £200 so money is also a factor,and i dont think im gonna get core 2 duo power for that.

You can definitely get some core2duo goodness. How high end it is depeds on which individual bits you need. A decent cpu, motherboard and ram can easily be had for £200.
