Hey,

I'd like to make a home run server for Minecraft this is what I've came up with: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2KOku

I want to be able to host a server for at least 300 people, I've got 100 Mbits download and upload per second.

I checked this site: http://canihostaminecraftserver.com/ And found out that with this build I can.

Is this build okay? My budget is 1500$, but I haven't really found anything that could make this run better. What can I get better for this ammount of money?

Thanks.
