I've been looking to get a home server for a while now, not only for storage but to run game servers off of as well, nothing too crazy, maybe Minecraft and 7 Days to Die. But I keep running in to certain pre-built systems that seem way better than anything I've put together for half the price. I've done a lot of enthusiast building for gaming PCs, but when it comes to server terminology and hardware I have no idea what's best or what certain pieces of hardware are better and worse.
I've been looking to build a Xeon E3-1225 V5 build. But I see certain systems like:

that seem to be far and away a better choice, but like I said I'm a novice when it comes to servers and server hardware. What makes this piece so cheap and why wouldn't I choose it over building my own $500+ system from the aforementioned Intel processor and a Supermicro mobo.
Please and thank you, I'm trying to learn more about servers and what's better for certain tasks, so an explanation why certain things are better instead of a clear cut "choose this, not this" would be helpful.
