I rent a game server online for FTB (Modded) Minecraft, sometimes for other game like Space Engineers and Terraria. TBH only Minecraft would be 24/7. I personally don't want to keep renting server I want to build a somewhat simple game server. sub 500$ would be best but if their is a certain improvement that would be worth the money I would be willing to go over. Send me some PC part picker builds or just suggestions. Thanks in Advance :p
My Minimum Requirements:
- 8 GB Ram
- Micro ATX or Mini ITX
- Preferably Quad core
- A Reasonable TDP
- Non-Stock Cooler
- SSD

This Is better then your build because the FX 6300 is getting old and didn't perform that well when it launched. Ryzen 5 is coming out soon and that would be a good option too!
