Hi, I'm working on setting up a multipurpose server and wanted your advice. I plan to run a Minecraft server and possibly a website in the future. I have an Intel Core i3 8100 with a clock speed of 3.60GHz (L734C713). Is this suitable for my needs? If not, what would be a better CPU choice?
Absolutely, OP doesn't require everything. 64GB should cover most needs, particularly for Minecraft.
these optiplexes deliver modest power, roughly 20 watts when running, varying by model and settings.
This suggestion works well when you or your household are worried about high electricity bills, since NUCs use less power and are compact.
Thank you for your assistance. I'm reaching out because I already have the i3 and wanted to find ways to cut costs, given my tight £110 budget. I thought my initial message might not have been clear.
