barebones build for a server

[Guest]

I wouldn't really call this a barebones pc, but im going to replace the cpu with a X5355, and id love to have input on if this is even a good idea, or if it'll even work.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/291970196721 - pc

http://www.ebay.com/itm/172436648120 - cpu

http://www.ebay.com/itm/252532223340 - conversion kit (not sure if it'll work but i'll do some more research into this)

 

im planning to use this as an ARK server (and any other game server my friends want me to create), a small NAS which will probably only be written on once or twice a month. Im planning to have it on 12 hours a day (probably a bad idea) but hey, why not.

I'd just get a q6600 or supported cpu. There about the same price and are guaranteed to work.

It'd be fine, as long as the mobo of the HP supports it. I might add that I hate that case design. The power supply will come out, but take 15 minutes to get back in. No exaggeration. And cable management is next to none, is you are going to have two hard drives.

That's a x3220 I'd get a supported core 2 quad. Or just try it with the current cpu it's probably fast enough.
