Server upgrade? Help

[Lds221]

I'm trying to figure out what hardware to get for a hp proliant ml110g6 and if I can get a decent gpu to work (I don't see any data ports...)

Any ways this is how I think I will do it but why am I asking for help mostly because I don't know a lot about servers

1. Buy parts

Maybe a gpu (a decent radeon) win 7 new hdd (the current ones are set up oddly with 2 160 gb hdd they have a adaptec card and I just want new ones)

2. Instal

Out with the old in with the new

3. Troubleshoot

The part I really need help with is

A. How would I get a sata port for the gpu

B.what else would I need

My system right now

Just look up the data sheet for the hp proliant ml110 g6 it's the entry grade i3 level

What I want to add

A new hdd

Gpu (r7 260x)

Win 7

Ram Kit (8 gb 2 x 4)

Psu?

Better processor(not now but later)

You shouldn't repurpose a server like this. Just use it as such.

Welcome to the forums!

 

If you're gonna throw a lot of money into it, put $200 more into a new cpu, mobo, and case. Also. GPU's use PCI-E, not SATA. SATA is for HDD's and disc drives.

I think I might either get a new case and just use it as parts or mess around and put a few hundred in it but I think I'll just make my own and use it as a server because geting a I5 or i7 and a gpu that does not bottle neck (one that is in the "sweet spot") and a psu that is more reliable ect that mk for the feed back
