Comment on I'm at a loss on what server to buy

Mostly, I just don’t know much about hardware in general. I’m sure I could follow a tutorial online on how to put it together, but I don’t know much about what I’d need to buy in the first place.

I’ll look online and see what I can find though, this does seem like what I’m going to have to do to get the specs I want.

You should try out pcpartpicker.com

Great tool to spec out a computer and give you an idea of how much it’ll cost you.

You can look at things like

www.newegg.com/tools/custom-pc-builder

To see some ideas of what would work, and I hope you feel free to ask around as you look at things! We all had to learn somehow and once you know what you’re looking for it’s just a small puzzle.

Quick suggestion is to decide on the cpu (I’m partial to amd so I’d pick something ryzen based if you want processing power) first then compatible motherboard, as after those two you should be able to just look at spec sheets and see things like the kind of ram you need case type etc.
