Hi I was thinking of buying a dell precision 490 with dual quad core xenons e5345 2.33ghz CPUs with 8gb of ram second hand .
My questions are would this setup run windows 8 and be able to stream to twitch and use software such as cinema 4d with no problems?
And how long would a setup like this last before I would need to upgrade to a newer system ?
 
Solution
I am running a precision 490 with 2x dual core xeons and 12gb of ram. I have windows 8.1 installed and it runs pretty smoothly. I have a Radeon HD 5550 for graphics and it is hooked up via hdmi to a 37" visio lcd tv. I can run many newer MMO games on high graphics settings. Skyrim needs to be set to medium settings. I got the computer for free so I cannot complain too much. I plan on upgrading within the next year simply because I am interest in building my own and having a more powerful tower.
