Asking about a cheap Minecraft server PC

I got my secondary system which my friends told me to make it into a cheap Minecraft server PC instead of collecting more dust in the shelf. I always wonder if the specs are sufficient enough for a cheap Minecraft server. This is not really for a lot of people but just a few of us just wanted to play the server instead of using it online such as server.pro or aternos because, they auto shut the server down if it's not refreshed and I would like to leave the server open overtime.

The specs are:
4GB RAM

Intel Pentium G2030

1TB HHD

20Mbps both Down and Up speeds

 

I'm open for suggestions and feedback as well thx :D

Have a look at these:

You should probably mention how many people you're talking about. Since you already have the hardware, why not simply try it out?

yep I'd say an SSD and maybe an extra 4gb of ram and youd be off well.

I've right now got a core 2 quad with 6 or 7gb of ram running 2 vanilla servers with low player counts just fine.
