Nope, all modern twisted pair networking has auto mdix so crossover cables are useless now.

So I was simply wondering if there would be any benefits of using a crossover cable to connect my pc directly to my server over using a straight one.

Not exactly useless, they just act like a normal cable, but definitely not necessary.
