You are correct. NO Pentium D! Maybe, but highly unlikely, a Bios flash would support a dual core CPU, but without it, you're stuck on P4's, sorry

Maybe a cpu or gpu cooler perhaps?

And $140 is a good price. Mine sold for $300 plus shipping on eBay without the monitor. Granted, that was with the added RAM and Pentium D, but still, like you said, the monitor is worth about $140, so good deal. Build one like me later, use the dell to do your research for it, lol.

That psu is the same one I had in my old E521.
22amps and it could run a 8600GTS or 7950GT.

OP, here's a psu like what's in your 510:

An 8xx series is not a 5 or 6 series.
