You're gonna need a graphics card with that... I think...correct me if i'm wrong...

[Tmh85]

TBH I believe that might be a little overkill when you processor costs more than the all the other parts combined

[ReillyP]

You will need more storage and probably want a network card for fast connection.

I already have an old one(HD 5570), and an old case.

Im going to be installing ubuntu server which only takes about 5 gigs, and minecraft servers take like 500mb so I really dont.

I don't think so, he's only going to run the server which will only need processing power and ram, he should be fine

You need a mass storage drive, cpu cooler, and more ram

Yeah but I dont want any lag when loading lots of chunks, If you have a cheaper alternative that will get me good 24/7 performance please say so.

To store plugins, player data, map data and the like you will need more than 25 gigs.

Well if you look at my last post you can see the storage, and I have a CPU cooler already. For RAM I only need at MOST 100mb per player at full capacity, and I will upgrade to 32 GB later.

Really? My friend has a server with an average of 200 players on at all times, a factions world, with lots of minigames and it only takes about 11GBs

TNT will be banned in Creative, and nobody is going to make 100 blocks of TNT in factions. And if it is really necessary I will ban TNT. Also I will have an auto server restart every hour, and I am looking into a auto restart of the actual computer every 6 hours.

How are you gonna install stuff, like the OS?

If you want backups and such I suggest at least a 1 tb raid config so people don't get upset also more cooling is needed and I feel ram should be fine if allocated properly.

I have an old 100 GB HDD I can use for backups.

Ubuntu server takes about 5 gigs....

You could always live on the wild side and never back up like i do with my server

[ReillyP]

You are going to want high speed drives.

Trust me a couple more bucks makes the difference
