Ok so I want a build that fits in the node 804 and can host game servers such as csgo minecraft and websites

Without storage costs (HDD) (SSD) 1500

Would this take much storage?

Thanks

I know minecraft servers can get pretty big pretty fast. Websites, not as much. Don't think I've ever seen any website go past 2-3 gigs, assets included (unless you're giving upload rights, which you shouldn't really do in the first place) and I think cs:go servers are pretty light on storage space

I wouldn't put in an SSD for a Minecraft server. You'll probably be getting alot of writes on it real fast

minecraft only needs  a few megabytes storage and grows depending on the "movement" (global loaded chunks etc ) on maps to some gigabytes

i heard it could only use 1 core, but more ram on java and the server should be fine like 16gb

you'll have to tinker in your firewall and config portforwarding so your pc could host

 

970 or amd card doesnt matter, hosting doesnt need a gpu

put an ssd in the rig but DONT use it for minecraft this should be loaded from a HDD because much writes that shorten the lifetime of the ssd

500-600w psu should be fine

so 32gb ram uhhh a 970 Sli and 1tb HDD 512gb SSD 650w psu?

So the PC is just hosting and nothing else?  You don't even need a GPU then. 650w is pushing dual 970 SLi, a 750w would be perfect.

QUOTE ME IN A REPLY SO I CAN SEE THE NOTIFICATION!

When there is no danger of failure there is no pleasure in success.

only need a gpu if there is no integrated graphics in the motherboard or cpu since it only needs to be used for viewing interfaces

More like Xeon E3-1231v3 or even higher, RAM - depending on the needs, solid connection and a good Ethernet card would be nice. You don't want to host on an SSD, because the amount of writes will be really high.

 

You don't need a GPU for hosting, you could make it entirely headless. 

 

Also, make your needs more precise - is it going to be a hosting machine or are you going to play on it as well? Availability of the servers? Uptimes? Number of players? It all matters a lot.

Have you ever stopped and thought about your electricity costs? Because running a server is very expensive.

Xeon e5 1620 how's that cpu?

For example let's say:

You pay 0.3 cents for 1 KiloWatt = 100 Watt.

Your server uses 400 Watt.

0.3 x 0.4 = $0.12

0.12 x 24 hrs = $2,88 per day

2,4 x 365 days = $1051.20 per year 

$1500 Server build

_______________________________________ +

You pay:

Once $1500

Per year: $1051.20

Yeah, if it's solely for hosting and not you actually playing on the PC, you don't even need a GPU. Games aren't hosted by running the game client.

You can add a GPU only if you play on the server itself too.

I suspect that even a 4 hyperthreaded core cpu is more than necessary. As is 32GB of memory.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.
