Questions
I was considering either the X470D4U, X470D4U2-2T, X570D4U, or X570D4U-2L2T. The latter 2 are X570, and the 2T and 2L2T have 10GbE. Thinking I don't need 10GbE... Will X470 still be good for the years to come? Is it worth shelling out the extra $250 for X570?
Will non-ECC ram be the end of the world? The motherboard supports it, but it seems a little too expensive.
If you see above, you will see my Plex requirements which will most definitely require transcoding from a video card. However, I do NOT plan on buying a GPU right now, so basically I want the build (including case) to all be compatible and capable when I am ready to add in the GPU (and additional storage mentioned below).
Looking for a case to fit this build as well as fit a nice GPU and 3 more hard drives that I will get at a later date (for a total of 6 - the max allowed for the basic Unraid license)
I get the following warning in PCPartPicker: "Some AMD X470 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Matisse CPUs. Upgrading the BIOS may require a different CPU that is supported by older BIOS revisions." Something to worry about?
Are 5400 RPM drives ok? Compared to +$45 each for 7200 RPM (WD Red Pro)?
Is 650W PSU ok?
Is this a good build (+ case, and soon to be added GPU and additional storage) given the intended use?
