Hi erminy....  I really know nothing about what's needed for a server pc, other than a fast, multi core cpu and lots of reasonably fast ram from what I have read.
 
Your config has the 4570, non k, cpu and I'm not sure DS will overclock it. Check with them to make sure. You could save $49 and drop the oc or if the faster clock is needed, try this.

It's going the wrong way with your budget Cry, but if oc'ing will make a difference, the something to look at.
 
The 3570k is the little older Ivy Bridge and not the Haswell 4570, but they are very close in overall performance.
 
Your build is bare-bones and I couldn't see any way to save, without dropping to 8gb ram, etc. 
 
Hope this helps and good luck. Big%20Smile
 
Edit.  That motherboard, in my config,  might only take ram to 1600Mhz.   I wouldn't think it would make too much of a difference, plus the slower ram clock reduces the risk of cpu overclock instability. 
 
I forget the free t-shirt.  Oops
