A much better choice would be a MacPro 2010-2012. This machine is highly upgradeable, will run 64 bit. Will run the latest OS X. You can kick it up with either Apple CPUs or third party to run at levels close to any Mac out there. Four hard drives. Use a PCI USB3 card from Sonnet. It’s a real work horse and will last you a very long time.
You can start cheap and upgrade as you can afford it. Mine boots from a 512 SSD.
I’d start with this one as you can bump it to 128 GB of RAM
