Server Box

[Surtur Tech]

Hey, I'm one of the staff members on a community that runs few servers on variety of games and i'm looking to build new server box to even the load that lands on our existing servers. I've been looking on few options on which hardware i should get for it but couldn't make my mind which would be the smartest build to go with. Budget is around 2000€

The CPU can be downgraded to an E3 1231 V3 or something like that, but this one has a higher clock. The 1TB SSD is for the #yoloswag, it can be switched out for something smaller or removed. The HDDs can be RAIDed in 1 or 0 configs.

 

EDIT: You can throw out the 960 since the Xeon has integrated graphics.
