I saw this offer on marketplace and it costs 30$ for that cpu and 8gb of ram along with 128gb ssd. Is this good enough to run home assistant comfortably without issues?

Faster than a Pi4, and more stable, so ... yes

Yes but I would not recommend that. It's ancient and power inefficient.

If you're unlucky it will permanently sip 40-60W+. At least 6th gen or newer.

Hm, for now my budget is 40$ though. I mean I’m not planning on this being my entires life setup lol
This is just temporary like two three months
For 40$ I can’t even buy a raspberry pi zero w and a case and sd

Look around a bit more. 4th gen is the lowesr I can recommend but you gotta pick what you have available.

I like your find. I would jump on it. I would check if it has UEFI Bios, though, if you want to run bare metal HA. Otherwise you will need to do a Virtual Machine or container set-up.
