Budget (including currency): about 400$ but it can go a little over

Country: Romania

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Minecraft server for about 10-15 people at once

Other details: I have my old no name PSU. It worked fine for 5 years so I don t need a new one. I think the Xeon E-2124G is the best cheapish CPU for this application, but let me know if you have any ideas. And also, the CPU must have integrated graphics because it s 2021 and GPU s are freaking expensive. The build doesn`t have to be too quiet because I won`t be listening to it all day. Some cheap 2666mhz memory sticks are fine. 16 GB would be nice, but I can upgrade it later from 8 GB. A single 240gb SSD is enough.

Thanks for reading XD

The Xeon E-2124G won't run in any run of the mill board, so I wouldn't recommend going that route.

You're better off going for the regular Core i3 it's based on. 

 

Something like this should be doable. I would definitely not use an old no-name PSU on brand new parts though.

Keep it as an emergency spare.
