That's a pretty good computer and there's not really anything it wouldn't be able to handle IMO - it's only a little less than my computer, and this handles everything I throw at it with ease. Also, you might struggle upgrading a Dell . . . sometimes they have proprietary parts, such as cases, motherboards and PSUs, to make it difficult to upgrade.

Your upgrade possibilities, as I see them, with benefits/drawbacks: SSD instead of HDD - much faster storage - but, very expensive if you want any sort of capacity. Faster HDD - faster storage access - but, could be expensive, could also be loud. Quad core CPU - faster for multiple tasks or MULTI threaded programs, the computer will possibly feel more responsive - but, could be expensive, cooling might not cope, motherboard might not support it, PSU might not be up to it. Upgraded graphics card - faster 3D performance - but, could work out expensive to get a decent upgrade, cooling PROBABLY wouldn't cope, PSU probably wouldn't cope. 64 bit OS - 64 bit applications will run faster, OS may feel snappier, ability to access more RAM - but, some programs and hardware may be incompatible. Upgrade RAM - computer may feel smoother - but, probably wouldn't notice any actual performance increase EXCEPT on very demanding apps (e.g. working with massive images in Photoshop whilst encoding a video or something) and you'd need a 64 bit OS to use any more RAM. Does that help?
