But as it is any major manufacturer tower server system that is somewhat general use like this one I’m replacing at my FIL’s practice is basically always going to be a Xeon. 6 cores and 64GB of ram is a nice upgrade over the ~12 year old dual core Xeon with 4 GB of ram he has now.

After pricing many we ended up with a ThinkSystem ST50 with the upgraded raid card, the Xeon E-2186G, 64GB of ram etc. Sadly no feasible way to get solid state storage in the mix but this should net him another 10 years based on how he uses it.
