Looks like you're talking about SFF + CPU + Graphics card? I believe the graphics card needs to be a 1/2 height, so your upgrade possibilities will be limited. And if the D500 only has 256MB RAM, you can add more memory to your parts list too. IMO, this isn't a cost effective upgrade, but it's your money.

If the power supply can handle it is the bigger question with a high end graphics card. If you want to game, get a good case, PSU and LOTS of fans.
