Thanks for the help. I can see on http://ark.intel.com/products/90591/Intel-GL82Z170-PCH that the Intel® Z170 Chipset has VT-d. Also VT-d is mentioned in the official Gigabyte manual (however disabled by default), so i guess that should be fine? If not, is there another Motherboard you can recommend, which will work without issues? Yeah, for now it will just be Remote access. Maybe I will have other plans in the future, but until that, they might have fixed the issues

I have created a list for the parts i want to buy for my new unRAID PLEX streaming NAS server. I will be using it for (prioritized list): [*]PLEX streaming (2-3 concurrent streams/transcodes). The CPU with a PassMark of 9956 should handle that. [*]Docker images. CouchPotato, Sonarr, OpenVPN etc. [*]Running a Windows 10 VM and a Ubuntu VM - just for having a playground for some testing and stuff - NO gaming! Would one be so kind to revriew the below list of parts, and let me know if there is anything i should be aware of with the components i picked? I've used hours searching other threads in here, and tried to assemble it from those findings based on my own opinions as well. Mostly I'm concerned about the Motherboard - does it have all what it takes to create VM's? Windows 10 VM and Ubuntu VM (VT-d and all that stuff - this is a new world for me)?
