Ok, im tired of searching the web for a strait up answer for minecraft server hardware, all the forums that i check no one gives an answer other than "What speed is your upload if you are under xMb/sec then you should forget about hosting servers."
I dont plan on hosting a server for 50 plus people at once, its just for me a few family members and a couple of freinds, i checked my upload speed and its more than addiquit for my group, so this is what im wondering. What "hardware" do i need to run a minecraft server, with 80 plus mods, and have little to no lag?
mind you this pc is only for a minecraft server. nothing else. ive made up a list of parts that i just brain stormed together
any advice and help is greatly appreciated. also sorry bout the grammer, i always hated english and i barely passed it
Case: Bitfenix Prodigy
CPU: Intel Core i7-3770K stock cooler
Mobo: Asus P8Z77-I Deluxe/WD
Memory: Corsair Vengence 16GB (2x8GB )
Storage: Corsair Neutron GTX 120 GB (OS, Minecraft Server)
Western Digital Red 1 TB(storage just in case)
PSU: ? enough to power and handle future drives and is semi modular, also if i ever convert it to a small gaming rig and add a graphic card thinking HX650?
and i have no clue what os to run ive seen alot of windows 7 and linux based servers, but ive never used linux and wouldnt know where to start
