That's the thing, when I buy new devices, my old ones usually go to my parents or for donation. So I have no old tech laying around, sadly. I'll have to buy, that's the reason for the post.
Right now I want to host movies, photos, automatic backups, files in general. Also use it for the smart home that I'm slowly putting together, basic stuff... for starters.
Someone mentioned that if I want to host 4k content I should go for a 7th gen Intel CPU or newer for HVAC support, something I didn't know, but that showcases exactly the sort of restrictions that I had in mind when I submitted this post.
Sorry it took me a while to respond, didn't expect to have this many responses.
Thanks for the response, it pretty much answers all questions I had in mind (I think...😅).
How complex is migrating the whole thing for a the new setup when upgrading? The best I can get with my current budget probably resembles the "quality" of your second server(first upgrade).
While on your firstly upgraded server, were there limitations to any of your self-hosting desires? Things that were only possible on your following upgrade? That's my main concern. I'm probably over thinking things, it will be my first home server, I'll probably stick the simple stuff at first.

I want to set up a home server and take advantage of everything it can offer, specialty privacy.
Raspberry PI, no matter the version, are all quite expensive here in Brazil, so that's off the table. I'll go for a regular desktop. But the the requirements for a server that "does it all" remains a mystery to me.
What specs do you guys recommend?
I have never read comic books until the last month in which I read the Invincible Series(by Robert Kirkman) because I wasn't patient enough to wait for the show lol. After that, I've read a few more Graphic Novels, and now I'll try venturing in the marvel comics, but there are so many, and I don't know how to start, what to read, what not to read, order of reading, idk, I just really need some help. I'm in the final stretch of the The Walking Dead Series, and would love to, after finishing it, dive right the way into the marvel comics.
