Optiplex 990 i7 or LENOVO CORE I7 M92P?

[Txwylde]

After trying to price out parts, I figured I can go with a refurb Optiplex 990 or Lenovo Core i7. I have even kicked around the idea of an HP Elite 8200. Looking to go with an i7 proc, 16G Ram and find a supported video card from this site. Recommendations on which machine I should lean towards?

what did you end up buying, is m92p compatible and can it be easily used?

Ironically found a Mac Mini 2012 with 16G ram and a SSD hard drive for cheap. Will hold me over until the next build.
