Gameserver build

[Klages]

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Satisfactory, Factorio, CSGO, Proxmox, Teamspeak

Other details: Currently running an EliteDesk 800 G2 which has not enough Single Core performance

 

My current mini pc I am using as a server has not enough single core performance, especially for game servers. So I am thinking to build a new one with more single core performance.

Do you have any recommendations to my build?

That's a lot of storage for hosting games! Gonna do a fileserver too?

 

I would strongly recommend having at least two drives in RAID1. You may not need to care about your data if you back up your saves elsewhere, but your time and effort will thank you if it fries.

Not going to do a file server, but it would be annoying if I ran out of space, and storage is not expensive.

Raid1 is a good idea, it adds redundancy. I'll add it to the list.

Yea. I will give a chance that with failure, you can rebuild without as much hastle.
