I mean it depends what you want to use the "server" for, this is technically still a PC unless you installed Windows Server 2012 on it and set it up properly. Not an issue though, you'd just map this systems drives to your other computers.

If you want a fileserver for storing stuff like pictures, movies, backups then buy a cheap NAS and the drives you want then it'll automate most of the setup for you. With some too it'll mean you can access your files from consoles too.
