For a single 10-30 slot server this will be more than enough, and can be refurbished as a budget gaming PC after it's server life is over :)

I used to host a 30 slot server with a couple of mods and it never really used more than 8 GB's of ram, so 16 might be overkill.

You could definitely get by with 8. I just wasn't sure how many spots OP needed .

Internet speed is also a large factor. Ideally, a connection with low latency and high upload and download speeds would be used.
