Not bad. If you have the option, put the OS and your application installs on the SSD. Hopefully it's that way already and the HDD is solely the data storage drive. Lots of RAM, not sure what generation Xeon that is but Xeon is usually made for servers (i.e. different type of workload), I trust they knew what they were doing there.
Regarding quality, if your TV is running at 60hz, the most you'll get out of HDMI is 1080p for the older HDMI protocols, potentially higher depending on version. But whatever you're running now, it won't degrade with the DP->HDMI conversion just by the cable alone, you're still limited at the HDMI interface of your current TV. So ultimately the cable / adapter is just a compatibility operation that won't affect your expectation.
