New Server Build

Alright guys I'm building a server so all family members can have access to movies, music and ect...

Here is what I have for parts:
Case: Antec 900, because of all the drive bays and the loads of fans, I don't mind if it makes noise since the server will be in the basement

Mobo: P5Q, I really like this mobo, it has a lot of Sata ports plus 2 specialized for Raid

CPU: E6750 2.67Ghz, basically I'm reusing the one I have

Ram: 2Gigs Kingston, 20$ can't get better, I don't really need much ram

PSU: Cooler Master 500W, I don't really need a lot of power for a Server, and Cooler Master is good and cheap.

HDD: 3 * 1TB Seagate, One of them will be used for Raid

Video : most likely a cheap one at future shop 20$

DVD: 33$

Alright so these are pretty much what I've got, I don't need a powerful Server, basically just do file sharing, ftp, remote desktop ect...
My problem lies with the CPU, In this rig (view sig), I have the E6750 2.67ghz. At the local computer shop the lowest they sell is the exact same, I was wondering should I buy a better CPU for few bucks more and exchange them, or should I wait and try finding a used CPU, what do you guys think???

So i'm can get the Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 /Ghz for 190$ CAN that I would interchange with the server. God its a lot of money I don't need a better CPU I just need something cheap for the server.
