So I Love dell XPS desktops, I personally have a 630i, and my fiancé has an XPS 700, she is more than happy with the 700 but I want something more, im keeping the case! im looking at putting in a new gigabyte H97 gaming 3 motherboard with a gtx 590, im not sure what cpu to put in but im going with 8-16 GB ram im going for the corsair dominator platinum, if you have any suggestions let me know I can change any part of this pc besides the case, its in perfect condition and I wont part with it.

 

EDIT: if your wondering why a GTX 590, its because I already have one from an old system.

should I keep the 590? I have no idea if its a good card or not, I could get a 760 if its better.

 

590 is old and I would definetly upgrade it if you are a gamer.

Get a 4430/4440/4460 i5, and also you really don't need dominator platinum. Cheaper ram would perform exactly the same

This is a great suggestion

The GTX590 packs two GTX580GPU's and packs more punch than a GTX760 it's still a good card for 1080p gaming even though you might have to turn down some texture settings and use a lesser anti-aliasing due to the VRAM capping out.

I'd take a 590 over the 760...if anything you should be considering a gtx 970 or R9 290. The 590 is no slouch, and even if you didn't want to keep it sell it on Ebay for ~$170-250.
