@Greywall Awesome thanks for the feedback, you're definitely backing up my thoughts on this build! Will need to do some more research on the NVMEs. I currently only have 1 in my current build but have been considering getting a second to mirror my Cache drive.
I'm planning to use HA and possibly something like BlueIris for cameras so this is something for me to think about. Do you think you'll go with something like a 13600k? Maybe a 12900k? Think 4-6 additional cores is worth the extra $$? My general use case would be Plex, aars, HA, BlueIris (or some kind of IP Cam software) and a data/photo backup server.
I'm planning to wait until they announce the 14th gen then grab a deal on 12th or 13th gen intel.
