Alright so for a little while now I've been running an at home minecraft PC and I have gotten donations and I finally got $400 after almost a year, I figured it would be time to upgrade the server PC as at the moment its an intel celeron with 1gb ddr2 and a 15 gb IDE drive. So here is what I've put together, also $400 includes shipping which for me is $16 from newegg.

I already have a case and 430w PSU so I'm fine on that, Just wanted to know if this was a decent build for a minecraft server. At the moment we have a cap at 10 players at a time but we have over 30 registered and whitelisted members.
Also to those who were talking to me about my internet awhile back its fixed now.
I'd get a really cheap motherboard since features on it aren't that important, and use the extra money for a better CPU.
It looks plenty fine for a Minecraft server, but I have to ask: Why the extra money for HD3000?
Didn't catch that, as daschnek said the 2125 is just a 2120 with the HD3000 integrated rather than HD2000.
Either get

or spend a little more for an i5 2500k

I chose that because it was the cheapest H67 (has SATA III) with 4 DIMM slots, with a combo available. If you don't go with that combo get the cheaper H67 and get whatever CPU.

With the money saved, get 8 more GB RAM or a bigger SSD.
dont run a minecraft server on a consumer ssd
the constant small read/writes will destroy it
Speedtest please.

My speed is fucked again, I'm back at 96% packet loss because some construction workers were in the area and supposedly snapped an underground cable. I find that to be complete bullshit and I'm going to switch back to AT&T I think.

With 16GB of RAM and a reasonable small worldmap he could ramdisk it, yeah?
