I am thinking of buying the Dell XPS X8700-1261BLK Desktop (Windows 7) at a price of $749.99, unless someone can recommend a great build for a great price. I do a lot of gaming and I am wanting to put a new graphics card it in when I get it and possibly a new motherboard. I don't know what the psu is or what kind of motherboard is in it as I have search everywhere. I was thinking about a Geforce GTX 750 Ti 2GB OC card, but don't know and any recommendation on a new graphics card, motherboard, and if the psu is sufficient would help me out tremendously . Here is the specs on the Dell XPS 8700 I am thinking of getting:

Processor 4th Generation Intel Core i7-4790 processor (8M Cache, up to 3.2 GHz)
Operating System Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-Bit, English

Yeah I know its a waste to buy it pre-built then try to upgrade it. The price for it is great, especially with it having a i7 in it. The only thing I am worried about is the motherboard. I had an older XPS years ago and the motherboard went out twice. All I am wanting is a good running machine that will play the new games that are out and will be coming out with descent fps and smooth performance. Also something that will last a while. Do you recommend anything? I was told about iBuyPower builds, but also was told they are not any good. That's why I am pulling my hair out trying to figure out the which machine to go with.
