Mac Mini

I am a PHP programmer, I decided to upgrade my hardware. I'm very used to macos and I'm not going to switch to anything else yet (I've been working with Win and Linux for a long time). Please do not arrange holivar. The choice of OS for each person is purely individual and dictated by his needs and desires.
Apple offers a choice of mac mini with dual core 2.5ghz i5 (i7) with AMD Graphics and mac mini server with quad-core 2ghz with Intel HD3000.
I work with two 24" monitors. One is 1920x1200, the other is 1920x1080.
On the one hand, a 4-core processor, on the other, an AMD card (with its own faster memory).
I don't plan to play games. Is Intel HD enough for two monitors (power , brakes)?
Main load: nginx, php, mysql web server (resource-intensive project), netbeans, smartgit, sequel pro, a couple of browsers, a lot of consoles. Sometimes a little photoshop (cut something out of the template).
I can't choose, I need practical advice.
