Hi!
I'm on the verge of buying a used computer, to use as a home server/game server host. The one I'm eyeing is:
Asus P9X79 Pro
I7-3930K
64GB Corsair Vengeance 1600 MHz
128GB Samsung SSD
Nvidia P2000
Cooler master Silencio 550
Cooler Master 500w PSU
The person selling it wants around $600 for it. Is it worth it? Or am I better off buying new parts, and building a server myself?
The server would mainly be used as a NAS, Plex server and hosting game servers such as ARK/Minecraft/Valheim.
I would love to get some suggestions as to what components would need an upgrade in order to get a good stable server. I was thinking of changing the MB as it only supports two HDDs as far as I can see?
I'm also planning on buying a few extra HDDs for it, just need to figure out which I'll go for. Any suggestions would be much appreciated :))
As this is the first time I'll be running Unraid, I would love to hear any tips to keep in mind as I get everything set up!
Thanks!
