Hey. A while ago I made this SRCDS source server installer and management tool which I thought would be really useful for people who are inexperianced with SRCDS or who might want a system with file management and crash recovery 
. Bellow is the information on it and where to download it.
If you get stuck I even made a youtube video showing how to use all the programs:
