I think I am lucky in that the Mid 2010 6 core was already pretty fast @ 333Ghz and it is one of the oldest machines that with the Graphics card upgrade will be Mojave compatible ( beyond that who knows )
Frankly after doing a fair amount of research to make sure I right Card and adaptor cables, I was pleasantly surprised how easy installing the card was And then what a non issue not having a boot progress screen.

The total cost for card and cables was $207. And the 2 PCIe 1 TB blades and dual blade mounting adaptor will run about $500 so if it works as expected and lasts that $700 is significantly less than even a new upper end Mac Mini by itself not to mention having to purchase an outboard PCIe chassis

Here is hoping
