Here are my server parts:
Motherboard(newegg):
https://www.newegg.com/supermicro-m...erboard-_-13-183-671-_-Product&quicklink=true
CPU(newegg or ebay):
https://www.newegg.com/intel-xeon-e-2176g-lga-1151/p/N82E16819118004?Item=N82E16819118004
or
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Intel-Xeon...406479&hash=item1f0ea003cc:g:YPgAAOSwVrZemf4D
or
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Intel-Xeon...150534?hash=item2ae5360a86:g:sXEAAOSw1W5eg2bs
RAM(newegg):
https://www.newegg.com/p/1X5-003Z-016C4
SSDx2(amazon):
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QVBD3KL/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1
PSU(newegg):
https://www.newegg.com/istarusa-is-2u35pd8-350w/p/N82E16817147111?&quicklink=true
Fan(eBay):
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Noctua-NH-...314234?hash=item216e788a3a:g:y8oAAOSwhzZeoBsG
Case(newegg):
https://www.newegg.com/black-istarusa-d-400/p/N82E16811165416?&quicklink=true

Please check for any incompatibilities. This build totals to about $1569 or $1464 if I buy the used CPU on eBay. One other question: Should I buy the used CPU or the new one?

As far as I can tell you don't have any incompatibilities. The wattage of the PSU should be fine, but it is a very low efficiency PSU as it is only 80+ White. Any new server PSUs, when you get a prebuilt one, are 80+ Gold or better. The 2200W PSUs in my 2U4N at work at 80+ Titanium rated. I'm a server admin and have been a system builder for 20 years, and I still wouldn't go and build my own server. If this were a workstation then sure. The barebones system I recommended will have all the cable routing done for you, everything is preinstalled and tested and you know it will all work. All you do is add the RAM and SSD. It really is the best option and on top of that you get support from the manufacturer which is always nice.

In all honesty look into doing a barebones system like this.

Supermicro AS-5019D-FTN4 Review A 1U AMD EPYC 3251 Server

Our Supermicro AS-5019D-FTN4 shows how this short-depth and compact 1U server based on the AMD EPYC 3251 performs providing an Intel alternative
www.servethehome.com www.servethehome.com
All you would have to do is get the SSD & RAM. The SSD you choose is fine, an alternative would be the Micron 5200 Pro or 5300 Pro. RAM you can get Crucial from CDW if you wanted.

ok but I have one question I forgot to put on it. Is my power supply wattage good? And just to make sure, are there any incompatibilities
