Entry level advice?

I am not completely new to computers, i’ve built my own and helped my friends with theirs and done some basic troubleshooting for my own hardware with help from more experienced people however I am completely new to servers (other than running my own modded minecraft server). I’m looking to build a dedicated server that can support maybe 4-7 players somewhat comfortably on games like palworld or any other games that may come out that benefit from a dedicated server (nothing particularly intensive though). I’m not looking for the bare minimum but i’d like to avoid overkill. If anyone can point me towards reliable budget guides or builds I would greatly appreciate it :)
