Switching to Dell Precision T5810 from T7500 after long 10 years (alien.top)

I am planning to replace my current rig T7500 with a T5810 for $290 (not yet bought) which comes with the following specs:

Intel Xeon E5-1650 V3 (6c/12T)
750 GB SATA SSD ( 500GB SSD + 250 GB SSD)
Nvidia Quadro M2000 (4 GB) GPU
48 GB DDR4 ECC RAM
PSU: 685W

So my question is whether I can upgrade the CPU and PSU to the max, what is the best and latest supported CPU and PSU for this machine. Also, I have RTX 2060 which I intend to install. I am hoping it can handle the load. I'd be using this rig with Windows 11 23H2 and some casual gaming.

The best CPU is going to depend on the workload. If you're looking to host lots of not particularly strenuous VMs like webserver based apps, home automation etc it would be better to go for more cores and lower clocks. If you want to host gameservers, those tend to benefit from higher single threaded performance.
