Well, its a fantastic machine! Highly upgradable. My favorite Mac of all time with the exception of the clone UMAX 900.
Do you want a formula 1n race car? Drop in a 12-Core 3.46GHz Xeon and 128GB RAM
Put in an big SSD drive for a boot drive. A PCI USB 3 card (runs at 6.0 GHZ) and you can run with any of the newer machines.

I have a Mac Pro from 2011 that works great when fine tuned. You have to be a geek like me in order to have it run acceptable in today’s terms, lol! If you can fine tune it it’s a great machine and worth the money.

Be careful here! Mojave requires a newer GPU board that supports Metal. If you installed High Sierra go into the About This Mac > System Report under Graphics/Displays you must see Metal: Supported, feature set macOS GPUFamily1 v3 If not you'll need a newer GPU card
@danj Exactly why I said you need to fine tune it
