I was originally going to get a Dell Poweredge 1950 but I saw that those things are pretty old, so I have decided to get a Dell Poweredge R710 instead. The seller I am purchasing it is selling it for $70 USD but with no ram. I found some good ram for it which is $40 USD. Should I get this server? All I'm running is a file server and game server and do not care about noise.

What’s your budget?

If you can, spend an extra ~$100 to get at least an R730 imo. You will get more performance and the $100 will pay for itself in power savings in less than 1 year.
