If your current setup was a desktop, I'd say just install an Intel Arc GPU.
Without the Minecraft server, your budget might be ok. But running a Minecraft server, even for 10 people, does require a pretty fast CPU.
You may need to take some of your disk budget and put it towards your server budget or something. A surplus office PC with an 8th Gen or newer Intel CPU, preferably a 4+ core model, with 32GB of RAM should meet your needs. Just make sure the case it is in is big enough for the drives you want to add.
