Dell T7400 as a game system, fast enough?

[Unkk]

I have a Dell T7400 workstation and my wife is threatening to replace it because it's so old.

The specs say it should be fast enough except for maybe the video card as far as I can tell. I'd like the thoughts of the community on if I should upgrade the video card or replace the entire system.

Dell Inc. Precision WorkStation T7400
Number of Physical Processors 2
CPU Name Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5272 @ 3.40GHz
CPU Code Name Wolfdale-DP
FSB 1595.9 MHz
32766 Megabytes Usable Installed Memory
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760

Your thoughts?

It would certainly suffice but 2 cores just isn't enough for some games like GTA5 or FarCry4 even on low settings. If the motherboard support a 4-core Xeon you could replace both the CPU and GPU and it would once again be a solid machine. Adding an SSD would make it run like new outside of gaming too. Depending on how much you can find an older quad core xeon for it might just make more sense to buy a new system consisting of an i5 or something.

Thank you kindly.
I did put in two dual core 3.4GHZ processors, the SSD has been ordered.
I'm going to try an EVGA GeForce GTX 970 graphics card and see how it goes.
