MoBO : ASUSTeK Computer INC. P8Z68-V PRO , Version Rev 1.xx
CPU : Intel® Core™ i7-2600K CPU @ 3.40GHz
RAM: 16GB DDR3
GFX Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER
I am currently looking into upgrading my server abit.
First abit about what I want from the server and that is to be able to have maybe 2 or 3 4k direct streams, and if not maybe be able to handle 5-6 1080p transcoded from 4K files. I know there is a difference in 4K files and I'm hoping to get 1 or 2 remux streams from the server. Mostly it will be transcoded but I want that opportunity if it should come.
First off, I need to upgrade the GFX card, which gfx cards are good for PLex media Streams? (budget around 600$, but smaller is better).
- Also, do I Need upgrade my cpu and ram? This is getting old and I can get some cheap LGA1151 CPUs type of i7-6700 or something similar.
- Will a SSD cache help?
I currently have WDC Red and Seagate IronWolf 8-12TB disks.
Will these be a bottleneck for direct streaming?
Is there any cheap MoBos with lots of SATA ports?
Maybe one with LGA1151
But am open for others
I want the streams to come outside my network, what kind of bandwith am I looking at for a remux? I got 500/500mbit
