I have a mini pc with a core 2 duo p8700 (2.53ghz) and 4gb ddr3 ram lying around. Would that be a good somewhat good base to build a full #bitcoin node (not lightning) if i slap a 2TB ssd in there?

For a Bitcoin node it should be fine although 4GB RAM might be a little low if you are planning to build it using Umbrel or StartOS.

Yes StartOS was planned …

I need to find out if it’s upgradable. Would 8gb be sufficient?

According to this they say 8GB+ recommended although 4GB as minimum so I guess you could try with 4GB first and see how it performs.
