Just to chime in on what Jack said, the current optiplex systems support
dual-displays with the on-board Intel graphics and its more than capable of
doing your regular desktop stuff. No need for a dedicated GPU now unless
you're doing moderate to heavy 3d work or need something doing extended gamut.
The big performance bottleneck these days is hard drive performance; memory,
cpu, and gpu have all improve considerably in the last decade. SSDs are
probably outside most folks' budgets, but Dell is offering 500gb platter/ssd
hybrid drives that make a big difference under most use cases without
breaking the bank.
