1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc

Minecraft Server Host PC​

2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?

$1,000​

3) Where do you live?

Garland, Texas​

4) What exact parts do you need for that budget? CPU, RAM, case, etc. The word "Everything" is not a valid answer. Please list out all the parts you'll need.

I have an AMD Phenom II X4 2.4Ghz w/ 8GB DDR2 Ram, Crappy Mobo and pc case/power supply. If certain components are not good enough (for instance, the processor or ram or both) then recommend something better.​

5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model.

Depends on what people say about my current parts.​

6) Will you be overclocking?

Don't need to OC a server.​

7) What size monitor do you have and/or plan to have?

None, remote desktop in to monitor server.​

8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?

A.S.A.P​

9) What features do you need in a motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support? USB 3.0? SATA 6Gb/s? eSATA? Onboard video? etc.

Enough ram to handle a good strong community MC server. Processor if need be.​

10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If yes, what OS? Is it 32bit or 64bit?

Windows 7 64BIT​

how many users are you expecting to host?

the CPU and RAM should be plenty for a 10-20 person server (possibly more). for instance you need about 1gb of RAM dedicated to minecraft to run a 5 person game. your internet connection (assuming regular residential ISP) would probably be the limiting factor to how many people you can host, before you reach the limits of your server.
