Need help picking computer parts or a new computer? Click here.
I'm building a linux server for Minecraft/TF2 server hosting. I plan on hosting probably 2-3 MC servers, and 1 TF2 server at any given time.

The parts I have chosen might work, let me know what you feel would be a better replacement.

I have 2 SSD's because I would like to put the OS on 1, and my servers on another. I might just put a 7200RPM HDD or the OS, I haven't decided yet.

I have chosen an ASRock Mobo because I am quite partial to them. They make a good product.

On a different note, I have my first test server up (testing my linux knowledge...)
