Should you upgrade your dell optiplex 745 to make a decent gaming computer or go another route?

An optiplex 745 Desktop model with the core 2 duo e6400 and the x1300 pro will play *most* current games on the absolute lowest settings. Deus Ex: human revolution is about as far as you will be able to go while still getting playable frame rates. However, if you upgrade to a core 2 duo e8400 (80 to 90 used) and get a good $100 graphics card that still fits within the power supply limits or power it externally with another power supply (there are tutorials available online to learn how to do this) then yes, you can definitely make this into a system that will at the very least perform as good or better than Xbox 360 or ps3. I scored this system for $110 and I can barely play the new Medal of Honor perfectly, sc2 perfectly, and Deus Ex: Human revolution on low settings with a slightly lower framerate. The biggest bottle neck is the video card. So if you got a sweet deal like me, then yes, it just might be worth it!
