Hello,

 

I want to set up my first own little server.

My motherboard is a dual Xeon platform and has a 12 pin psu connector.

My question now is : which psu should I buy?

I maybe want in the future to get a gpu also to set this thing up to a dual Xeon PC.

Are there any cases u can suggest ? 

I have no high demands.

Have you used PC part picker? As long as you get a PSU with all the correct connectors and meet your wattage requirements comfortably, it would be hard to go wrong. Although I would stick to something in the 700+ watt range to be safe. Also be sure to get one that's well rated and from a reputable company.

Right , I forgot to mention the motherboard: 

I want to go on low price so I want to get a Intel s500VSA lga771.

And yes I know these socket is obviously not up to date, but I don't have much money to spend.

It looks like you will be looking at a case that supports EATX. as long as you can find that, you should be fine. but i dont have a particular case in mind.
