A:AnswerMy inspiron desktop 3000 has an intel i3 processor and did not come with a graphics card but rather with built in Intel HD 630 graphics. An upgraded model does come with a gtx 1050 and there is a slot for for a graphics card so yes you can add the card.
A:AnswerI added MSI GeForce GTX 1050 Ti OC to my Dell Inspiron desktop and it works fine. I recommend this particular card because it doesn't need (in fact doesn't have) additional external power connections. It's powered only off the PCI-e 75W built-in circuit.
Can't address iRacing directly; I'm more of a space-sim player myself. But both No Man's Sky and Elite Dangerous run pretty well on the 1050 Ti.
Just make sure the 1050 TI card you're considering does NOT require external 6 pin power. The power supply in this Dell does not have additional power connectors for that.
If the card uses 75W or less, you should be fine.
A:AnswerUnfortunately, Windows XP drivers are not available for this system, nor are they for any modern retail system. Most new custom built systems don't support it, either. Unless you're gaming, you might consider installing XP on a Virtual Machine inside Windows 10. I use this myself for two old programs that can't run on XP. But, it's terrible for gaming.
A:AnswerYou can add an SSD usually cases have a slot for a standard sized HD but you can get adaptors or just use double sided tape which works even better. you will have to move othe os to the ssd .
A:AnswerYes, you should be able to clone current data to new HDD but you may have to reactivate Windows. Keep the current HDD and consider an SSD, you'll get faster performance from it. Use the SSD for Windows and the HDD for storage along with any external hard drives. You'll thank me for getting an SSD over a traditional HDD..
A:AnswerI think you may just need to download the required software:

I think that QuickBooks should run fine on this system.
A:AnswerWith the 3.9Ghz processor, you should be fine. Seeing as this has Intel's integrated HD Graphics, you should be able to run WoW at a decent frame rate. Nothing too fancy though
A:AnswerI purchased this computer a month ago to replace an old HP that I got back in 2010. It has way more power and storages then what my other computer had personally I used a 4TB extra hard drive just to store all my movies, photos, and home Video. I have to say that not too long ago the standard was 500 or less gigs. I am happy with this new computer which is smater,faster,and great for muli tasketlingThis is a great computer and it has more than enough for photos and Video.
