i have very very limited server experience, i build one few months ago for tvserver, backups, fileserving network etc

i think that quad core is overkill also, you will definately be more restricted by internet access speed, then by hard drive speeds, and finally cpu.

from what i know, get a good raid card and setup a hardware raid (probably raid5, i wouldnt do raid0)

then setup another way of backing up your data. maybe another separate raid and a software that does schedules backups, or even a bit more pro...get a separate NAS, so original data and backup data are totally independent one from the other. in case one computer burns, you have the NAS backup.
