Dell Poweredge (alien.top)

I was originally going to get a Dell Poweredge 1950 but I saw that those things are pretty old, so I have decided to get a Dell Poweredge R710 instead. The seller I am purchasing it is selling it for $70 USD but with no ram. I found some good ram for it which is $40 USD. Should I get this server? All I'm running is a file server and game server and do not care about noise.

R710 is Gulftown era, which is going to be really lacking in both core count (max 6/socket) and single thread performance compared to something a few gens later. I wouldn't recommend buying anything older than an E5 v3/v4 platform.
