PC or Server PC to host your own server

[Darkelf 35]

Been doing some research, after checking in several websites to host your own world server. I am curious, would it make any different to run it from Steam as port forwarding to server list to public, than having a server rig pc that has windows server operation system. To do this as server rig, would cost me as much buying another pc. I have this slim case pc, not that great, but its i5cpu at 3GHz, upgrade it up to 16GB and typical hard drive. Wasnt sure if SSD would make a different. So let say i run a 4k map to public server listing on Steam. Would this pc manage?

 

I dont want to waste more money to buy another rig and those hosting websites arent cheap either. Wasnt sure which would be suitable, as long the players help paying for it, but that a big IF there. Looking for a way to setup a custom map or someone map for long term wurm world server for public setup.

SSD will give better performance as RAM and Read/Write speeds are the primary values for performance on WU.
