Looking to build a rack mountable server ( my first one).
I was looking at the following components and just wanted your opinions and whether you thought it would be good enough for what I'm looking to get from it.

COMPONENTS
-AMD FX-6100 6 Core 3.30GHz
-X-Case 1u active cooler for AM3+
-Gigabyte GA-78LMT
-8GB DDR3 1333MHZ RAM
-1TB Seagate 7200RPN HDD
- Seasonic SS-250SU 250W PSU
-X-Case RM 100S Chasis

I will be running Windows Server 2008 R2.
Im looking to be hosting a Minecraft server (If not multiple ones), file server and a Plex movie server capable of streaming 1080p and the odd 3D movie.
 
I'm not too clued up on home servers, only business ones. If your looking to do all those things at once you will need faster hard drives and also in a raid configuration. If speed is what you need then raid 0 if not at the least raid 1 if it's going to be a file server with important files.
 
If your case can fit more disks then I'd recommend at least 1 more 1TB for RAID 1 redundancy.

It'll be powerful enough to do what you list.
