Looking to build a unraid server and trying to figure out what CPU is best for my use case (don't want to over or under buy).
I want to be able to transcode videos with Plex to 1-2 users (most content is original BluRay/4K BluRay backups or encoded 1080p files), and run up to 3 VMs (e.g. Volumio, Kodi, Win 10). Ability to handle 1080p gaming on a VM (with passthrough) would be a plus, but not necessary if its going to drastically increase the price.
ECC would be a plus, and it must support VT-d and VT-x for VMs with USB/GPU passthrough.
Intel or AMD equivalent.
Thank you.
