This will heavily depend on power costs in your area, but if your tasks are not just CPU heavy but also require a lot of RAM it's totally worth to consider old Xeons from China with used Samsung RAM.
This used hardware can be easily be 2-4 times cheaper than building using modern CPUs, but power usage is also much higher.
