I haven't kept up with hardware in years so I'm dumber than dirt on what's out there. I would prefer a desktop so I can stack it. Don't think I need to do the Xeon as that would be overkill for a

I suggest looking at the system guides at Tech Report, even though they don't deal with servers specifically: http://techreport.com/articles.x/21462
Ars Technica also has system guides, but less frequently, and they're not as useful, im my opinion: http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/guides/2011/03/ars-system-guide -march-2011-edition.ars
These guides do assume that you'll be doing a fair amount of Windows gaming, so you may want to spend less on a graphics card than they suggest.
