Server Help

Hi community
I need a Server for hosting several virtual machines.
I want to run 3-5 Linux systems (mostly Debian) VMs for webserver, database, GitLab, ldap and also a fileserver.
I can choose between these two servers:

1. IBM x3650 M3 Rackserver
1x Intel Xeon E5645 Hexa Core 2.40GHz
64GB DDR3 RAM ECC R
2x146GB SAS 2.5"

2. IBM x3650 M3 Rackserver
2x Intel Xeon E5620 QUAD Core 2.40GHz
32GB DDR3 RAM ECC R
1x146GB SAS 2.5"

The HDD space isn't that important, I'm going to extend it anyway.

Now my questions:
1. Which configuration of the IBM x3650 M3 Rackserver should I choose for my use case and why?
2. Is extending the HDD Space a big deal? Can I just use any 2.5" SAS HDD, for example a HP one or only IBM HDDs?
3. Can both of these Server run Windows Server 2012 R2?

Thank you very much.

Thanks for your interest in servers, but sadly you ended up at the wrong forums. This is specific to running an online game server called Subspace or Continuum. Try posting on a more hardware/software server specific site like http://www.webhostingtalk.com/

The question's retarded, didn't say price.
