Intel i3-9100 Good for home labbing?

Hello! I've been trying to get into home labbing recently, and I found a really good deal on a second hand but pretty clean DELL Vostro 3671.

It has an Intel i3-9100 (Not an f), 8gbs of ram, and a GeForce 210.
Would this be good enough for a NAS/Media server?

I want to run some drives off it and setup jellyfin for the family. I also want to use it as a pihole. Plus some tinkering here and there to learn more about linux networking.

I know that 210 card is practically useless, and I have an rx 580 laying around from a previous pc that I would love to use somewhere but not sure what for.

Should I go for it? or buy a prebuilt NAS Box?
Thanks!
