Do you think a Ryzen 2700 would be good then? I only plan to use the game servers for my friends (probably around 15 people).

Do you have a suggestion/recommendation of a model of a Dell PowerEdge server?

The kind of games I would be putting on it would probably be vanilla minecraft and modded minecraft. Those are the only games I could think of right now. It really depends on what games my friends would be interested in playing. Do you think the Xeon E5-2690 V4 is really overkill for what I plan on using it for? My thought was that I would get something that had a bit more cores than I probably need so if I planned to run any other applications on it I had the resources for it.

I'm planning on building a server that I would use for multiple game servers, NAS, home assistant and anything else I think of doing in the future. I was originally was thinking of using a 1920x threadripper because of how cheap they have gotten, but I decided to not go with that because of how expensive and how few motherboards are for it. After scrounging for a while I found a Xeon E5-2690 V4 that looked pretty decent. What are your thoughts on what CPU I should get or be looking at?

A cool video idea could be a budget DIY Nas/home server.

No it's a 7200

I'm transferring 297 gb of data from a SSD to a hard drive

Transferring the data and reinstalling isn't that hard it's just going to take very long

Ok then thanks!

If I were to reinstall Windows would it delete any data or do I have to take it off if I don't want the data to be deleted?

The drive did have Windows on it. I've tried that but it doesn't work

When I was installing a new SSD I installed Windows on it and it was working at first then all of a sudden I start getting a black screen with an underscore symbol flashing in the top left. How do I fix this? Without deleting anything from the drive because I have data on it.

I think installing a new OS would be my last option. Any other options?

I just bought a new ssd because my hard drive that i've been using has been fill up and I was hoping to just transfer the OS over. My ssd has a smaller capacity than my hard drive. is there any way to just transfer the OS over and nothing else?

Yeah what I'm going to do is lower the clock speed and the voltage and to keep running test until i get the best performance out of it.
