Not good enough, I'm afraid. Especially since it has a discrete GPU that's actually worse than the integrated Intel HD Graphics. And for all I know Dell's version of the GT 730 is a really crummy Fermi (GF108) GPU that has only 96 CUDA cores. And that hard drive cannot sustain even 200 MB/second, let alone 500 MB/second, in sequential writes.
