Yep, that's a pretty good deal for a 12-core with those specs (I bought my Quad-Core in 2021 for $330 with 16 GB of ram and a 1 tb spinner).

You should upgrade to Big Sur or Monterey through OCLP, that'll get you more out of it.

May want to do thermo paste while your at it. 2 months after i had mine up and running temps went crazy. Read that after 10 years its a good idea to repaste. Great deal on that system BTW.
