Server Build Tips

[NetworkExpert]

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to build a server build for Gaming use.
I have picked out some items for the build. I was also wondering,
what PSU & what kind of PC cases can I use? Should treat this as a
regular rig build?

Budget of a reasonable 1k-1.5k
Current Parts Chosen:

Asus P9D-C/4L ATX Server Mobo LGA 1150
Kingston 32GB 4x8GB DDR3 SDRAM ECC Unbuffered server mem
Intel Xeon E3-1231V3 haswell 3.4GHZ 1150

How many hard disk drives and/or SSDs?

What's the graphics card?

Why not build a gaming rig for gaming?

Why not build a gaming rig for gaming?

Maybe the OP is intending to host multiplayer games on their own server.

That's a valid reason, but there's nothing in here that explains it, so I asked.

Yes i do plan on hosting multiplayer games.
& 1x10TB HDD
4x 1TB SSd

and any choice of GPU.
970? 980?

On a dedicated server you don't need a 970 or 980. You just need a basic entry level graphics card that will allow you to do server administration.
