I'm not extremely familiar where that graphics card is in the overall rankings, but the rest of the specs sound as if they should be more than enough for CoX.|

It would be hard to get a new computer nowadays that can't play the game on the lower settings. From what I could tell on my quick search online, I wouldn't expect high frame-rates on the higher graphics settings, but it should be able to run the game to be playable on reasonable settings. No telling what the min settings for Going Rogue will require, but I wouldn't expect too big of a jump.
Worst case though, a few months ago I got a GeForce GTS 250 (I think) for $150 at best buy that will run the game under most conditions at 30 fps on max settings. Even cheaper and better cards will surely be out soon. Its not expensive to get a card that will run this game very well.
A better place to ask would be in the tech help section of the forums (http://boards.cityofheroes.com/forumdisplay.php?f=578). They have more knowledge of all of that stuff.

Radeon 1300? Is that right? I thought current generations were 3xxx or 4xxx.

They're up to 5xxx, which suggests that the 1300 is a very old card.

Not Radeon 1300, Radeon X1300, which according to the manufacturers website makes mention of Vista, so it must be reasonably recent.

Recent is a relative term. The X1300 came out 4th quarter 2005 as a low end card. The Dual likely refers to dual monitor support.
Here are its basic specs. Memory is DDR2. Motherboard is either Socket AM2 or AM2+.

You're probably going to want to look into a video card update. I have an X1600 and it's probably the lowest end card I'd consider running CoH on. An X1300 is not going to give you a great play experience at this point in time.
Dude! You're getting a Dell!

I would have cautioned you to make sure your new computer's power supply has enough juice to handle whatever graphics card you were thinking of upgrading to. I believe the PSU in the optiplex you're getting is skirting the line of the requirement for that card. Might work ok though.
