Xeon or Ryzen

Forgive me if this is a dumb question , but I am looking to build a dedicated server to host 24/7 modded minecraft 50 players max , then Diablo 3 and possibly Space engineers But I assume id only have the one running I would be playing on , somehow setup a media server as what ive found so far I should be able to Run a Media/Gaming at the same time , but back to the main question , with the price of Ryzen , is there a reason for me to go with Older server hardware or just opt for the crazy price cuts on AMD with prime day or still used ryzen for the server , which I plan to run Linux on , Also everyone , I know its not needed or probably the smartest/cheapest decision to build and host my own server , but its out of a Hobby , Enjoying to learn , and just wanting to have the server for Media/Web server purposes , sorry for rambling and not making sense , but thank you for your time if you made it this far

older server hardwar, i mean, server in a server motherboard with servet psu is noisy, big and power hungry

 

i would go for ryzen, a r5 could do the ttick, put 16gbs of ram, should run many servers at once easily, minecraft doesnt eat much resources really, not unless you load lots of mods and play on the same pc, similar for other games

 

i wouldnt run linux for this purpose, if the issue is the license, microsoft basically lets you run witjout license, but punishes you with a nice watermark reminding you to buy the license, i have been running a laptop like that for 2+ years

 

linux is completelly viable, but for minecraft i found it to be annoying, fight with java on linux is annoying, really, run tje binaries on linux is a pita for java
