Looking for some build advice. Going to be running FTB infinity evolved with 2-5 people max. Currently I am running it on my PC. PC is running Windows 10, and in Hyper-V I have created a Debian machine with 8gb dedicated memory with the server on there. I also have a backup script running backups, etc. etc. besides the point.
PC currently has a i7 4770k, VM is stored on a PCI-E 400gb intel SSD drive. 16GB ram total, 8 dedicated to the VM. I would like to offload the power to a separate machine.
Upload speed is 20MB
Seeing as I don't need a GPU, I can probably save a lot of money by downsizing everything except the CPU and the SSD. Here is what I have thought about....
Important Bits...
Operating System = Debian or CentOS7 or some linux distro of my choosing. Not too picky. Probably something lighter.
Mobo= MSI Z87M = http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130893
CPU = I7 4790k = http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117369
Memory = 8gb Corsair 1600mhz = http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145345
SSD Drive = ADATA Premier SP600 = http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211719
Other Bits....
CD Drive = really? It's just a cd drive dude = http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827106276
Case = Nice little case = http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811121003
PSU = More power than I need but CHEAP = http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438016
Total cost is around 570$ Would like it to be a bit cheaper but it wouldn't be a deal breaker.
Any advice? Pro-tips? I don't normally build servers so I don't have the real world experience. I might be overkilling something, or bottlenecking myself somewhere. Should I get a lower CPU? More Memory? I read the sticky and it looks like I should be ok with 8gb memory... Any tips are welcome! Thank you in advanced.
