Your current PC is fine to play GW.

It should run the game quite playably. The GeForce 4 4200 Go can't handle the game at higher detail settings or resolutions and with only 512 megabytes of RAM you may find heavily populated town districts a bit choppy.

Shutting down some of the unnecessary background applications Dell computers tend to come with may help with the RAM issue.
