Additional Comments: I am looking to run a Minecraft server, and possibly a cs:go server. I had been looking at the Pentium G870 as my CPU option, but figured I'd ask for advice. Also, if what I'd like is not possible at this price range, please let me know that as well, thanks!
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: I really want to run a game server or two. A Minecraft server is the priority for this build.
