What would a server need?

One of my friends wants me to build him a server and I have some idea of what he'll need for it, but not entirely certain what kind of parts are needed for it. I know a lot of ram and good cooling but what else is needed. He told me he'll keep it on around 4-5 days a week for about 12-20 hours a day and will keep it in a separate room so noise is not an issue. He has approximately a budget of $650. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A minecraft server that would hold at most 30 people at one time.

What kind of dollars are being used?
