Need help to choose a server

I need to choose a rack mounted server for a small business (about 10-12 users). This will be the only server and will host the data shares and the following applications: Exchange Server 2013 Std  and another scheduling server software that needs a Sql Server Std. What would be the recommended configurations(from real life experiences) I should look for? 1-processor/socket or 2-processor/socket server – which one to choose? Any list of must-have? Any suggestions will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Are you sure you want a rack server rather than a tower? They're generally louder due to the large number of small fans so not ideal unless there's a separate room to house it or an acoustic rack which is rather expensive.
