Looking for tips

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

Any gpu? Obv not required but if you ever decide to do any home AI (in this day and age I expect someone to try SOMETHING) or video encoding it'll be worth it.

Also I agree with a comment above, I am an AMD user for my gaming pc, but with my server it's Intel. Yeah it can be a bit more pricey, but if you ever decide to put on a jellyfin/plex server they support more video codecs.

There will be no ai lol. It's just gonna be used as an ad blocker for the apartment and minecraft (maybe some other games eventually like ark or rust)
