Dedicated Minecraft Server PC

[Bop]

So I’ve played around with the idea for awhile and I figure it’s finally time I commit and do it. I’m currently hosting on an old dell workstations with an old Xeon and it worked fine at first but as we get farther in to things and build more and more machines, and farms it’s clear we just need something better.

 

So I’m really looking for a computer around $450-$500 USD. Keeping in mind it’s only life task will be to run Minecraft Servers (Possibly more than one at a time), so it doesn’t need to be a just absoulte beast.

 

I admittedly have not been keeping in touch nearly as much as I used to with Modern PC Components so I’m not really sure what best suits this build now adays. I know MC is very single core Intensive and not so much a multi core/thread task. Along with from my understand RAM speeds being super high don’t affect things to much truly, it falls more into how much you can put into it. 
 

So if anyone has any idea’s/suggestions for systems please lemme know! It would be very appreciated.

Id probably go with something like a i3 10100. Pretty cheap, has a igpu, good performane. Then get a ssd for boot, something like 16-32gb of ram, and a case + psu + b460 boards

i would double check everything but i would go with something like this
