This is with 1x 4TB parity and 4x 4TB disks

[I have a question about CPU choice]

Hello! 

 

Im just getting into UNRAID and I was wondering which configuration you'd go for, will be used for Plex mainly.

 

System 1:

2x Intel Xeon X5670

16GB ECC RAM (DDR3)

 

System 2:

Intel Core i7 4790k @4.7Ghz

16GB non ECC RAM (DDR3)

 

Im liking the 4790k since it has better single core speed, but on the other hand the dual Xeon system has more cores for VMs like Jackett, Sonarr, and alike.
