I'm planning to set up a dedicated server PC for Arma Reforger that can handle up to 126 players and some mods. I've put together a build list, but I'm uncertain about certain features that could impact the cost significantly. If anyone has experience with running dedicated servers, especially for Arma, I'd love to hear your advice on the best hardware options!

From what I know, Arma games usually rely heavily on per-core performance, so I'd suggest looking into CPUs like the Ryzen 9 9800X3D or 9950X3D. Those should handle the player load really well. If you're considering a professional setup, think about getting a rackmount case and a motherboard with IPMI support for better management.
Do you think ECC RAM is necessary, or is that just overkill? Also, can you explain how IPMI would improve things for a professional server?
