That's pretty much it. This is my first build server wise so I'm a bit clueless on how this will perform. Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated. :smile:

What is the server going to be doing? Once we know that we'll be able to tell you if the specs are OK.

It's going to be hosting a few small but active websites. I'm not sure of how much traffic they'll get at first, but it probably wont be much. But I plan on having room for traffic growth.
