Yeah, I'm aware a 450W Power supply is more than enough. Anything lower then 400W gets a bit sketchy on the brand types and the same price anyway.



I am planning on hosting some things like;

• 
  ELDewrito (Halo 3 online)
  Minecraft
  Some CS:GO
  A few other non-game related things
  I also wanted to try and to use it as a local backup for my network

I will be using Linux Ubuntu server (With GUI support)



I am planning on using this in a RAID 0 format with a single 2TB drive backing up the two 1TB drives in RAID 0.
I Would use RAID 5 but not a lot of mobos in the Micro ATX form don't support it, and any RAID controllers that do are ridiculously expensive.



The only concerns that I have with the build are;

Do I have enough airflow through the case? It comes with Two fans on the front and one on the back with vents for the power supply I believe.
I personally think it should be okay.


Also just a thought, I do a lot of video editing, is it possible to share server CPU power with my main PC over ethernet while rendering a video?



Thanks!

Get a Ryzen 7 2700x

your CPU isn’t going to handle it

No it is not possible to share your server CPU
