Go with the standard i3 processor and 8 GB ram should be in your computer. This is enough to mine coins like ethereum, zcash or neo.
check with the radeon 470i graphics cards to upgrade in your computer. With the PCI riser you can cannot upto 6 graphics cards.
Initially do not go to mine the bitcoin, you can mine altcoins best in the market.
There are mining calculator available in the market, please use the crypto compare to check the profit you can with the electricity details.

Hi there,

Thanks for the response.

I already talked to the owner and gave me this spec of the Dell Precision Workstation T3500.
- CPU : Intel® Xeon® Processor W3520 (8M Cache , Max 2.93GHz,6.40 GT/s IntelQPI) (8CPUs)
- RAM : 4GB DDR3 (2GB X2 )
- HDD : 250GB
- Graphic : Nvidia Quadro FX 380 upto 2GB
- DVD : DVD RW
- Integrate LSI 3.0/s Raid 0, 1
- 8 USB Ports/ ..

He is selling it for $150. CPU only.
what you think?

When you say CPU only, do you mean "only" that entire workstation? Or literally just the processor? (For some reason, people sometimes say "CPU" to refer to an entire desktop tower...)

How many PCIe x16 slots does it have? Did you also check the specs of the PSU? You would almost definitely need to upgrade the PSU if you intend to mine with more than one graphics card, or use powerful cards, with that system.
