Server PC

[RonMoir]

I am looking to build an mATX pc to run game servers 24/7 but i don't know what parts to pick.

I live in the UK and want it to be at least under £450.

I am looking for exactly the same right now, but with a smaller budget.

 

This is what i've come up with so far. You could probably upgrade to an i3 or i5, get 8GB of RAM and a couple SSDs, and maybe a nicer looking case as well.

If you're going to be running game servers, You're going to want a beefy connection. What's your connection speed Up/down? I'd determine that before even going any further in the build planning.
