be very carefull sir, i have never met a repairman yet that didnt want to talk you into buying one part then another promising just one more thing will do it then at the end of the process you spent $1000 and even if it does work when your done, the end result is your still stuck with an old slow computer that barely runs games at decent frame rates. think about it, if you buy parts he makes money installing them so he has his best intrest in mind not yours.
please sir think carefully at the full complete list of everything plus labor costs then consider any old parts you keep can and might fail soon after. if this happens you will be stuck with some parts made only for certain dells making then extremely hard to sell if not worthless.
for $800 to $1000 you can build a completely brand new rig that you can plug your keyboard and monitor into. in march 2008 i built an intel q6600 2.4ghz quad core processor, gigabyte p35 mobo, samsung dvd/cd, 320gb hdd, nvidia 8800gt 512mb video card. 600 watt psu, and centurian aluminum mid tower case all for only $914 including shipping and handling. prices have come down a lot since then so i could probably built it for under $800 now
if you want to try building your own look here for help:

if your not ready to build your own then ask that repairman for a price to build you a gaming computer.
