Hello Romain (Salut !)
I think you need to be careful with buying an old Macpro (it's probably less relevant than in 2013/4)
How much would it cost?
Do you know how those CPU compare to the current Intel line (for example : 6900K or 6850K? Or the Xeon Xeon E5-2640 v4 ?)
The ram is a bit too old compared to the new DDR4 2000+
I would advise adding some more recent connection (ubs3 is almost done) Thunderbolt 2 or 3 + Usb type C (if possible).
That would help your with your external RAID (you need one in Raid 5 or any that can provide performance + security)
PS : If you can wait, Apple announced some kind of new mac pro coming for next year if you can't go windows or linux
Do you still have a free PCI Express slot for a monitoring Card? (you absolutely need one)
For the intensity pro 4k to the extreme one (depending on your Monitoring Setup)
