Computer Upgrade

Hello. I am contemplating purchasing a new desktop computer. The one I built 10 years ago is still running well, but it sounds like X13 will not run so great on it. The video card I have, Nvidia GeForce GTS 450, is up to date as far as I can tell and it supports Direct X12, but shader model shows up as 5.1. 

 

Wanted to build again, but with the whole lack of reasonably priced video cards, a pre-built seems to be the way to go. I am in Canada and here is one I am checking out.

Anyone with computer knowledge think this a good/bad pick or other suggestions?

 

Thanks,

Stephen

Hi there again. I have not ordered a new computer yet, but am just about to pull the trigger on this one. Thought I would ask for thoughts on it before I do. There is a code for another $100 off bringing it down to $2099 CND.

Issues I see with Dell are upgrading it or if something like the power supply fails, it doesn't seem to be straightforward.  However, if all is working well, I'm not one to mess with it. Might add another hard drive, but that's about it. Good buy?

 

Cheers,

Stephen
