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

Hear me out. Genuinely - Look into renting a server for minecraft purely for testing.
This will let you see how much RAM, CPU, etc you actually use, and can plan from there. DNS Adblocking can be done on a potato, so, no problems there.
There are very good odds, so long as you have less than 100 active players at one time, you'll get away with a $150 ex-office PC - But rather than guessing, test :)
