It's literally a normal desktop with more storage, and usually runs some form of Linux or Windows Server.

Depends on your uses. How many people are going to use this server? Is it just a home server or something being used in enterprise? Providing information like this and more will help us in assisting you.

I've have had desktop pcs working as servers for years, 24/7 and server hardware also.

Depends on your budget.

Well you'll want ECC memory, and apparently the G3258 supports ECC

You'll also want a USB drive to boot freeNAS from

You need something with a video output at least, the G3258 has an iGPU, and you'll have to look for specific Xeons with igpus.

Or just buy a pre-built box

 

Or something like:

But you'll need to buy another 4gb stick of RAM with the lenovo above
