CPU: A 2700x is a bit much just for a small/medium sized minecraft server. Considering the price, it's fine though. If you want to save some money here, you can also go with a 6 core 2600(X) which should still be enough.

CPU Cooler: I wouldn't go with the dark rock pro 4, but the non pro varient of this cooler. It's a) cheaper b) still more than enough for a 2700x c) more silent because only one fan. The pro one is just absolute overkill for this cpu.

GPU: If you only want some kind of display out, any far cheaper gpu would be more than enough compared to a 150€ one. You can save some money here, but you don't have to.

PSU: You could go with a 650W psu, which would be enough, especially if you only have a "low end" gpu.

 

The rest looks good to me

 

EDIT: I skipped over the SSDs at first. Why 2 SSDs? If you want some kind of NAS usage, you could rather go with 1 SSD as os drive and a mechanical drive with 2-4TB for a bit more.

Thanks so much, the reason i only have 2 ssds is because i already have 2 3.5" hdd's. otherwise thanks for your help.
