Making a server for fun. Is used for multiple random things (F@H, Lamp, various steam game servers for friends, etc). I need a dirt cheap server that is Intel based. It has to be Intel based because the IPC needed is not found on AMD currently. The only requirement is that you need to include everything but the OS and the case. Has to be in CAD (Amazon.ca, newegg.ca, etc) and all the parts has to be from one retailer. 

Ryzen 5 3600 stock | 2x16GB C13 3200MHz (AFR) | GTX 760 (Sold the VII)| ASUS Prime X570-P | 6TB WD Gold (128MB Cache, 2017)

Samsung 850 EVO 240 GB 

138 is a good number.

Need to know the case that will house the system. Or at least motherboard formats supported; cpu, gpu, and psu clearances.

The case is some ATX case that I salvaged from the basement. It supports a pretty tall cpu cooler (Fits a hyper 212x), the gpu clearance is non existant - I am planning to use intergrated graphics. I don't really know about PSU clearances tho..

There's a reason why I said cheap... Can you get lower on the price? Particularly the  CPU because I don't need hyper threading; a pentium will do...
