I would get a newer computer, probably a refurbished Dell with Windows 7 on it but what kind of specs (hard drive, RAM, processor speed, etc.) am I going to need to comfortably run QT5 and the newer versions of software (at least for the foreseeable future)?

Get at least 4gigs of ram (8gigs if possible) and a decent sized hard drive. I'd go with 1TB or larger. You want one that has room for expansion meaning room for more hard drive space and room for more memory. You want one that uses DDR3 memory. You want it to be compatible with Windows 8.1. You don't have to run Windows 8.1, but if it is compatible, then you can run Qt5 and thus the latest Calibre and Sigil.
