Default Direct X 10

Hi.

I am about to get Dell computer, but want to know if I will be able to upgrade it to DirectX 10. It's the Dell Dimension 9200, and I want to know whether I will just be able to put one of the new dx10 graphics cards into it.

Also, is the 9200 a good computer, eg good for gaming, easily upgradeable. Can you suggest any other, better gaming computers for under £1000

Thanks

What are the specs on the computer your getting?

As of now, you would need a PCI-E x16 slot to use DX10.
