Doesn't matter ~ you can use your AMD CPU without any problem! :)

How will you be using this server?

it will work fine, but if you ever were to  build a dedicated server machine you're better off picking other parts.

For something like that, it indeed does not matter that much, but if you're are looking for something like virtualization, than Intel is really the only way to go.

 

Also, the Intel drives are a lot more common and stable than the AMD drives in most Linux distros.

If this is just a fun project then building/using own server is ok but if it's more serious then I would think about using VPS.

Will certainly draw a lot of power and therefore lead to a large electricity bill if it is running 24/7.

True but i dont pay for the power :P

Yes, it is more of a fun project. Just to have it if i will ever need it.

It will run fine for this sort of application

but this cpu will eat a lot of power and for virtualization you should stick with intel.

For small stuff like that it is fine. Intel is indeedly far better for servers in just about every way, tho it doesn't justify buying a new platform when you already have one.
