I want to make a minecraft server for about 5 friends including me. I want to leave the server on 12 hours a day while i use my pc for other things too such as watching youtube and playing some other games like league of legends. Is my pc good enough to handle it?

specs;
Intel core i7 4790k
12GB of ram
1TB harddrive
geforce gtx 650
upload speed is 12mbps
download speed is 60mbps

Probably, yes. Depends if you're making a normal or Bukkit server for Minecraft. If it's a Bukkit server with less plugins, it's fine. But adding too many can affect performance (i think). Just dedicate how much RAM your server should use and everything should be OK. :)

Update: FOR BUKKIT ONLY, I think (since I never actually ran a normal server before, even though I put the .exe file in my folder along with the craftbukkit and the batch file) If you don't know how to dedicate RAM to your server, just go to your batch file, right click on it and select Edit. A text file will appear. Note that the RAM can be written in gigabytes or in megabytes. Just change the numbers to your desired RAM usage, save the file and exit it. Also note...

Also note that numbers like 1000 or 2000 are not recommended by me to be put in (if it's megabytes). 1GB = 1024MB - just if you don't know. ;)
