I am trying to decide between an i5 12400 and a i5 12600
My needs will be Plex (eventually will need some transcoding), Nextcloud, Pi-hole, Easy-wg, probably 10 other Dockers and maybe 10-15 VMs (Not usually simultaneously). Maybe gaming one day but not a concern right now. I already have a Rosewill 4u chassis. The 4500 15 bay model. I have some hard drives and an m. 2 ssd.
My second question is, will this motherboard suffice? And does anyone have any experience with it as a server motherboard?
