    You said it... it'd be easier and faster to go 2011-3
    You'll have to dig to find something that isn't a rip off

    Asus VG248QE all the way. Got it two weeks ago and love it. 144Hz and 1ms response time. Games play amazing.

    Their performance is much better than what you can find new for that money.
    But the reason why they are that expensive is that they are quite power hungry for their performance.
    If you aren't worried about efficiency well yes then they are good value.

    Xeons are made for server type loads which include 24/7 running and little downtime.  I bet that with 12-8 threads it will outperform most machines in that range for fully multi threaded loads.  The only con is it will use more power than say a Pentium or i3...

    I would definitely recommend a low end Nikon. The newer ones offer very stellar performance and features for their price range... Honestly. 
     
    If you do a lot of video grab the D5100... Its sensor is not quite as good as the 3200 but the flip-out screen and 1080p 30fps is pretty good for its price. Plus on older models... the d3200 included you can use custom firmware (at your own risk), but I use it and have had no issues to basically remove video time limitations, add more manual control for video, and lower the amount of compression allowing an overall better value.
     
    But honestly if your mostly only going for pictures the D3200 is a superb choice for a beginner... of course the D3300 is slightly newer but these two basically have the same 24mp sensor... the d3300 just has a few improvements to it.

    if its too old to really sell and get any decent spending money to go towards a new build I always turn them into XBMC / Kodi machines, a simple server, or occasionally If its really old Ill put a really light duty OS like linux on it and just use it to test around.

    W8 performs slightly better than W7 in games, and DX12 should theoretically drastically increase graphical performance in W10.
