"Server" and "Workstation" are purely marketing terms, they are just approximate designations: they have absolutely no standard meaning and the company you're working with can define them as whatever they want to define them as. A computer being called a "Server" doesn't mean that it is better or higher quality an a computer called a "Workstation". In fact, you could take an identical computer and sell it as a "Workstation" to one company and a "Server" to another company and you would be entirely correct and neither company would have right to complain.
IF you buy from a large-scale vendor like Dell or HP then a "Server" will usually have higher quality components than a "Workstation". If you're buying from a small vendor or local shop than I can almost guarantee you that the quality of the components used in both are close to identical. They may offer different options on the different models, but those distinctions are for marketing reasons. If you bought a "Workstation" and a "Server" with the same motherboard you could swap any component in the two systems the two would continue to function as before.
You can build a "Server" with "Desktop" components. Internally, computer components all do exactly the same thing - if they didn't, then software would have to be recompiled for every single different model of computer.
