Looking for advice on a good Mini PC for a family Minecraft server. 64 GB, SSD, budget is $400. Amazon is preferred, because I have award credits from my job. I’m happy to assemble things myself if that’s more cost effective.

Unless you’re going to be running many servers, or serving many users, or running multiple servers with a LOT of mods, you’re better off cutting back a bit on the RAM and spending more on CPU - and with regard to the CPU, having high frequency cores is more important than lots of cores (again unless you’re running many servers). I’ve been looking to upgrade our MC server and the floor CPU for me is a Ryzen 5 5600 or Intel i5 12600. There are frequently deals on combos, but even at market price they’re not too bad - https://www.amazon.com/INLAND-Motherboard-AMD-Ryzen-5500/dp/B0CGLB7X9X for example.
