What CPU is in the Dell XPS 720 you've got? If you did want a newer graphics card (and have Windows 7 or later) to get DirectX 11 in games then you might not need to spend a great deal. But the CPU would have to be good enough to push even a £140 graphics card.
As for the speed of the system, I'd be running up perf mon to see what's happening, especially if you suspect disks are slow.
My one question is why have so many drives in the PC? Is it holding data that other systems are accessing (like media?) and is that perhaps slowing things down? And what sort of data? How fast does it change? Is indexing service turned on? Lots of unknowns.
