Studio XPS 435 MT, upgrades for gaming?
I have a vintage dell xps studio 435mt and want to game with it. I’m new to building but very handy. Just curious if I can make this thing run fast for gaming? I believe it has Intel Core i7-920 processor and DDR3 RAM. Also power supply is 350w. So any advise would be appreciated.

435MT minitower, unlike the larger full tower 435T/9000/9100, has a limited Dell bios that does not support 6 core cpu such as i7 980 or equivalent Xeon. you can not overlock cpu on it.
you may run some old 2008 XP/Win 7 games on it but the 1st gen 4 core cpu is slower than intel 2nd gen.
gpu matching the old slower cpu would be to GTX770.
