Hi,
What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible, and include specific games or programs you will be using.
I have a Nvidia Shield TV that I will be streaming to in Kodi. Preferably full-size Blu-ray Rips. The Nvidia can handle it via direct play on Kodi. I would also like to run sickbeard/sabnzb and seed torrents.
What is your maximum budget before rebates/shipping/taxes?
500 bucks (without storage). If you could show me how much better/more expandable/etc it could be, I could go a bit above.
What, exactly, do you need included in the budget?
Going to be running it headless. So just the case, mobo, power supply, RAM etc.
Which country (and state/province) will you be purchasing the parts in? If you're in US, do you have access to a Microcenter location?
*Southern California. I have access to a microcenter.
If reusing any parts (including monitor(s)/keyboard/mouse/etc), what parts will you be reusing? Brands and models are appreciated.
Nothing really to reuse.
UNRAID. Looking for a minimum of 6-7 SATA ports on the mobo and case, but ideally would be even higher ++ so that this could last for 5-10 years.
