Needing help to build a gaming server

[RedEdain]

Hi!

I wanted a gaming server since a little while, mostly to handle a Minecraft server. I have a really tight budget (about 300$ CAN), so I started shopping on Ebay, and I found a couple of parts that might be interesting:

 

Ebay

CPU: Intel Xeon X5570 @ 2.93GHz, 11,81$ CAN (Shipping included)

Motherboard: Chinese X58 DDR3 ECC motherboard, 65$ CAN (Free Shipping)

RAM: IBM 49Y1446 ECC 2x4GB @ 1333MHz, 16,20$ CAN (Free Shipping)

CPU Cooler: LGA 775/115x/1366 compatible 4 heatpipes 92mm fan, 23.87$ CAN (Free Shipping)

 

Amazon

Case: Rosewill SCM-01, 36.99$ CAN (Free Shipping)

PSU: EVGA 4 N1 400W, 55.32$ CAN (Free Shipping)

 

Note: The server will likely run on Windows 10 Pro

 

Will it run okay or should I consider something else?

If you have other suggestions that can be more viable for the server or cheaper, you can tell me here.

Thanks!

 

 

EDIT: This topic is not whether or not I should build or rent a Minecraft server, it is to ask if this build will be working or not, I won't rent a Minecraft server.

For $300 you could probably rent a 100 slot Minecraft server for multiple years and not have to deal with electricity bills.

Actually most 100 slot servers will run you around $30-$50 a month depending on the provider but a home minecraft server won't have DDOS protection, redundancy, etc. and much better bandwidth and reliability. I still agree renting a server from somewhere is a much better idea than home hosting.

Dont run windows for this setup, just run linux and setup pterodactyl or if you dont want to have to go through a lengthy setup (in some cases) use something like amp (ONLY FOR PERSONAL USE AT THE MOMENT), also your better off not using old hardware like this and to just run a cheap ryzen and upgrade as you see fit.
