My friend has a 2080 in his and he’s been able to play monster hunter wilds without much issue. It does support nvme.

(He’s on pop os)

Edit: that 6700 is a limiting factor in some titles. BeamMP really likes high core count CPUs.

GTX 745 is weird. It’s early Maxwell, not Kepler. It’s not particularly fast and as it is Maxwell, only supports fp32.

That’s the last ATX compliant xps PC. I’d swap the wifi card for something else. It has some issues. That bug was patched out afaik.

(Friend has an xps 8900 and it was a unique experience)

I’d also find a cheap gpu to put in it. There is a mount for a 92 mm fan in the front. You just have to remove some tape in the front of the PC covering a vent.

Admittedly my friend games and does dev work on it.

Also it could do with a repaste.

As far as I know you can’t upgrade the CPU on that past the 6700.

I also love bunsenlabs and used it a lot. It’s so ridiculously light. I have it running on a pentium M laptop and it’s surprisingly usable. Don’t get me wrong it’s still a 20 year old device with one cpu core, but it can do most things.
