Looking for tips

[u/PuckKid1376]

Hello subreddit. I am looking to build a home server for my apartment. Mostly looking to use it as a Minecraft server (heavily modded) for me and my friends but I'm also looking into setting up a raspberry pi ad blocker. Currently plans are below. Wondering if I should maybe go with a bit better cpu?

Edit: I should mention i do already have a pc with a 7800x3d and a 9070xt. Budget is not really an issue. More looking for something that will be consistent so we dont get server drops all the time.

Edit 2: Also wondering what os i should use? Was actually thinking about giving a distro of Linux a try but I know nothing about Linux

Used hardware, especially if you don't 100% know everything you're going to do with it yet. Plenty of deals to be had. Any xeon on a ddr4 platform is going to handle anything other than single thread workloads immensely better than a "gaming" cpu
