I'm shopping for a different machine and I'm wondering what models might be best to look into. I'm looking more into older PCs, both for affordability and OS, but if I can find something slightly nicer than my old computer (Lenovo Thinkcentre), that would be awesome. I'd like something basically a little better than an office computer - something that will run Adobe art programs (CS3 is the version I have), but that would also be able to handle some light gaming because my last computer had problems running most 3D games even at the lowest settings. For the record, I don't need a hardcore gaming machine, but just something that would run Bendy and the Ink Machine without a 5-second lag. My Thinkcentre didn't have any issues with Adobe and a vast majority of my games, which are sprite-based.
I've got my eye on a Dell Optiplex 7010 right now or possibly another Thinkcentre, and I'm also considering Alienware if I can find a reasonably priced refurbished one. I have no brand preference aside from being a Windows PC.
Edited to add: Specs on former computer as a basis

Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E7500 @ 2.93GHz
OS: Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit
