This Dell tower looks like a solid everyday desktop for office work, light creative tasks, and home server use, with the Core Ultra 5 drawing praise for strong CPU performance and efficient operation. The main appeal is the price versus similar Dell and Best Buy listings, especially since the Best Buy version appears to differ mainly by a 1TB SSD. The weak integrated graphics, 512GB storage, front only audio jack, and 180W proprietary power supply limit upgrades and bigger video cards. A practical pick if you want a compact workhorse and do not plan major expansion.

Same model except with 1TB SSD
$455 open box, nice

But would have to update the powersupply for my needs... if that's even possible

*update*
Proprietary PSU, looks like 460watt would be the cheapest on ebay for like $80.

How does this compare to the Ultra 7? Also, is the graphics card upgradable?

"The Ultra 5 is the better choice if your priorities are cost savings and energy efficiency without sacrificing performance for everyday tasks and lighter creative projects."

I don't see why you wouldn't be able to add a video card, but you would be severely limited by the space inside the case and 180W power supply.
