Advice for first home server?

Hello,
I have a few questions. I didn't want to wast money so I wanna use what I have in terms of hardware, only the PSU and storage if needed.
PC:
- CPU AMD 5 1600
- RAM 16G
- SSD 125 GB for OS
Services I think of running:
- Node Tor middle relay
- Node Bitcoin
- Node XMR
- Gitea or Gitlab
- Maybe some service to host files or make a share for lan or a could service
- Maybe a TS Server or Minecraft
Questions:
- Do I have enough power to run all of this or I am being to greedy? I have raspberry(not pi 4) stopped at home doing nothing I could run some of this services on them if the computer can't handle everything.
- Should I virtualize? Can you explain me your response on this?
- I thinking of buying a good PSU since I am running this 24/7, should I invest in gold platinum or something like that?
- Should I have multiple disks if yes can you explain how much and for what.
This is will be my first server at home so I would like to hear tips if you think I am forgetting something.
Thanks in advance.

Less than ideal router strength, curious what my Tech Tilderinos would recommend

I just moved, and my new apartment is set up a little weird - gotta love old construction. As a result, the router has to be in the other end of the home from my PS4 which is my primary internet consumption device. The way I see it I have four options:
-
Hot spot from my cell phone - not ideal because I pay per gig of data and it's not fast enough for gaming
-
Run a really long Ethernet cord - possible but would be a little bit of a project. I looked into it a little and I'm curious if there is any appreciable difference between Cat 5, 6, 7, or 8 from a home user perspective. Also, what's a good resource for buying one, since Amazon is not really trustworthy anymore?
-
Use a WiFi booster - I don't really have any experience with these. Would it be as fast as using the router, and if I used an Ethernet cable to connect my PS4 to it would it still be limited to wifi speeds?
-
Get a stronger router - considering I technically rent my router from Verizon this is probably the most cost effective way to go in the long term, any suggestions for brands?
