This PC ought to crunch toolpaths just fine

It will lag a bit running Verify especially if  you try running a a tombstone project with a lot of components

For a few hundred bucks extra a P2000 card will make a difference

If you can get an upgrade on the RAM to 64GB as well.

This is the card in my computer. Seems to run well doing medium sized files and multi-axis tool paths.

If they haven't ordered it yet, I'd get much faster RAM. Near the fastest that the mobo will allow. But since it's a Dell (yuck) you have no idea what mobo you're getting.

go with 3200mhz ram speed.
