Need additional help making a Custom PC ?

[AnnaTheKitty]

So this is what I have gathered from today of searching to make a Custom PC, the focus of this build to have a cheap and let it be able to run a gaming server, like Ark, MC, TF2, and so on.

[Motherboard]: EC Motherboard     https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0799LGSFQ/ 
[Power Supply]: EVGA 500 Wats   https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00H33SFJU/
[Processor]: Intel Core i5-9400F     https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MRCGQQ4/
[GPU]: XFX R7 240                          https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079HB3VG3/
[Ram]: Corsair Vengeance 16GB     https://www.amazon.com/dp/B006EWUO22/

Is there anything else I need? I feel like I am forgetting a ton of stuff but I can't remember what...

if it's only running as a server does it need that gpu? the motherboard has a gpu onboard

Wrong motherboard and RAM, and the PSU is kinda overkill

Motherboard: https://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-B360M-DS3H-LGA1151-Motherboard/dp/B07BQ9SSH7

RAM: https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-2400MHz-Desktop-Memory/dp/B017NW5NZY/

PSU: https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Bronze-Warranty-Supply-100-BT-0450-K1/dp/B01N9X3F8F

Technically you don't need more than a 300W PSU, but those units are too low quality that i don't feel comfortable recommending them, and you're missing a Case and storage, so maybe this would do?

Case: https://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-MasterBox-Transparent-Adjustable/dp/B07N99WHP1

Storage: https://www.amazon.com/Kingston-240GB-Solid-SA400S37-240G/dp/B01N5IB20Q

 

don't know if you need more than that amount of Storage, but you can also grab a 1TB HDD alongside the SSD.

Thanks a lot!
Do I need any extra/new fans for the case?

According to the other users I need to have a GPU(Scroll down a lot)

you know if you're just looking for cheap then a used prebuilt will actually cost far less. typically at a budget this low you don't assemble cheap components but just buy a last gen high end machine instead. quality over quantity

I just thought of something, there's no need to buy the GPU (R7-240) if you get the i5-8400 instead which has an integrated GPU (9400F doesn't), and it's actually cheaper that way, and yes you would need atleast one extra 120mm fan installed on the front.

Total without shipping: ~480$

 

really have no clue if 240GB storage is enough for your usage, But anyway as emosun said, if you could find a prebuilt that's cheaper than this then go with it, but it's up to you, the prebuilt that i found with similar specs is 700$ soooo....
