Just to chime in and seek direction if possible, I'm working on a similar upgrade, just swapped in a QX6700 Quad, Crucial SSD, and 6GB RAM on an Optiplex 745 Desktop (or mini tower or whatever the largest one is). WEI rates well, COD:AW and CS:GO run, most games I've tried are playable. Currently using a GT 610 though and looking to upgrade, but not sure exactly where to go with it...Initially I was looking at the 7750 low profiles, but now with DSzymborski's comment about the GTX 750 I'm leaning towards that. I know with a PSU upgrade and riser I could potentially, theoretically put in whatever video card I feel like paying for, but without overclocking capabilities (thanks Dell) it doesn't seem quite worth it. Unless of course I intend to swap said new video card into a new future rig, SLI or Crossfire (or w/e) it with something else, and expand upon that rig. Is it totally unreasonable to put, say, a R9 290X into this machine, and move that on to a new machine later? Maybe even, a year or so from now?
