Can I squeeze blood out of a stone - processor tweak or upgrade?

I would not waste 1 dime on upgrading a Dell.
Build yourself a new system

I bought them with business volume pricing.
If I told you about the config and what I paid you would quickly change your mind!

Cheers!

I got a really good Inspiron 5675 last year for $1000. Now I'm starting 2019 with a new case, mobo, and PSU for dirt cheap and moving all the good parts over to the new system. It's actually a really good way to go. I think your XPS will handle a 8700K just fine. You can always buy a decent aftermarket cooler if needed. Those XPS boxes have a little room for one. I have two XPS 8910's.
