Just had an email from https://www.dell.co.uk/outlet, saying that for a limited time only they are offering Free Delivery worth £60 on any system, could be worth it as my laptop is from Dell and it's been a great little machine, ..unfortunately I paid for delivery when I bought mine .:(

I wouldn't get too excited, they generally adjust the system prices to compensate for any discounts offered.

Would be better to ask in teh Techie board notcosi, you'd get more response there I think.

From what you've listed though tbh you're missing a decent graphics card. Its an on board graphics card there, and these GX520s dont seem to have a PCI-e or AGP port to plug an add-on graphics card into either. I'd hold out for a better system with a better graphics card if you want to play games

Probably not. The Optiplex is aimed at the business market and it's unlikely to have a decent graphics card.

It doesnt come with a gfx card, that is, it only comes with a basic (shared memory) one. Which wont be good for games.

But you can pick up fairly decent ones for around £60, more you spend, better quality you get.

You say that, but its a very high spec PC. My Dell GX620 (higher model from GX520) has a X600 gfx card. I could run most games full detail on my work pc.
