These aren't for gaming. It's a workstation.
What are your requirements for your new PC?

Hello,
I am looking to buy a computer or make one myself. I had a dell studio 1558 with Intel® Core™ i7 CPU Q 720 @ 1.60GHz but it got busted recently and now i have to make a change.
Since my budget is limited up to 500 euro i started browsing some second hand pc`s because i got sick and tired from the overheating of the laptops. When i got the studio it was 2010 and for photoshop and after effects cs 4 it was perfect and until today it was running almost everything including games like assassins creed or NBA 2014, 2015. Eventually i found a company which is selling workstations for 460 euro around and i got my eye on 2 of them. As i read more and more i discovered that the CPU`s and the GPU`s are actually a bit older so I guess my question is does they worth it or i should look for something better.Also what I am worried about those machines is what is the space to upgrade the CPU because i noticed there is where to grow on GPU. So far I am comparing it with a laptop which was tortured to render crazy hours and having games played at it so any opinions and ideas are welcome. Thank you
