The dell linked in the OP has only a 220 watt PSU. I thought even most OEM boxes had at least 300w. I am not sure I would run a GTX 750 on that PSU with an i5. I also dont know the quality of the psu in the Inspiron series. I know Dells are usually decent, especially the XPS, but not sure about the lower end models.
Edit: Regarding the OS, you cant use the OS from one prebuilt in a different prebuilt anyway can you? I dont think the OEM license is transferable. I hate the interface on Win 8, but my wife has a laptop with it and has learned to live with it. Just download one of the free start menu programs.
The Gateway had Windows XP installed at the factory. I recently upgraded to Win7 Pro 32bit via software purchased on Ebay.
I've read in some reviews for the Dell that the GTX750 works ok without having to upgrade the PSU. I'm looking into possibly the Seasonic 460W Platinum ATX PSU, however I don't know if the motherboard will accept it with no problems, and/or will it fit.
