Server is pretty much useless.
My brother is running a server with 4, it's a dual atom 1.6, has 10 HDD's in it (8x2TB raid 6, 2x 80GB 2.5inch raid 0), hosts the network of about 25 local and virtual network computers including 4 servers.
Very few personal servers have this kind of traffic, yet it runs on pretty much jack poop.
Personally I would advice to get 16GB now if you build a gaming PC, even if you don't need 8 of it yet, the fact is that it's so cheap, that it's too good to pass up. The extra memory definitely doesn't hurt for such prices.
