Hmm you want my opinion? First you have to choose a GOOD motherboard. Thats the base, remember!

Second, a Graphic that has Dedicated Memory, or else it will use your RAM memory.

At least 4Gb RAM-8Gb RAM

CPU- Quad-Core essentialy, or Core 2 Duo. Those are the best for desktops.

If you want me to to "Design a computer" for you, I can make it

Use XP for server's takes up MUCH less memory, Recomend getting the highest ram you can get.

[Edude]

Yep Snailz is right. Use XP, Vista uses 512Mb more

[Anthonyrox8]

yeh though so ,vista uses more

And also Would it be ok to recommend a Motherboard.

[Edude]

ASUS Striker Extreme is my opinion

PCI Express, Supports Quad-Core and Core 2 Duo, supports 8Gb RAM maximum.

My opinion though

[Anthonyrox8]

to expensive n discontinued lol

Using linux, Windows Server 2003 would be better than Windows XP/Vista. FreeBSD is best of choice for me, it can get performances 2x better. Your memory is good to work with 300-500 clients of active peak a day.

Another low-cost/good motherboard is the P5K ASUS

[Anthonyrox8]

is my ram good enough and also should i get a UTP with the power supply or isnt it nessessary and what one. can someone also suggest a stable power supply unit that will be able to cope with 24/7 running.

[Edude]

This one is kinda expensive, but it IS really good for a 24/7 server: Modular PRO V70EUROTECH
