I have a spare 3070 GPU, as well as 16GB of Memory and my friend has a spare PSU, this part list has everything else I would need+everything I already have. Is there anything I should tweak or modify or will this build work, I plan to use it as a headless server.

Thanks for the feedback!

Update:

Use case, I currently run a docker swarm cluster with two older Optiplexes and a raspberry Pi, like I said before, I have a spare PSU, GPU and Memory and would rather put it to work then sell it. I would like to add this new PC to my cluster and utilize it for my home services and also learning. The only items I would really be buying is the case, cpu and board. I would like to run some local AI models on this PC as well.

    I converted my gaming machine into a server as well. I actually took the graphics card out as I couldn’t find a major use for it, but kept the 12 core Ryzen and upped it to 128gb memory. It now self host way too many things, including a few game servers my friends and I play… But even with all this, CPU carries along nicely and not even at half memory consumption (yet).

    But as others have asked, what’s your goal? Don’t overkill it if you’re only hosting one service or something. If you’re doing a lot like I do, then up the RAM. And seriously consider whether the GPU is even useful or needed if you’re not using a desktop environment.
