Hello all,
I recently built myself a cheap PC to use as a Plex server for Movies and Photos. I really like its ease of use and accessability. It consists of i5-8400 and 8GB 2400mhz RAM and a 120GB SSD(for OS) and 2TB HDD(Storage). This setup works great in my home to stream 4k & 1080p rips to Nvidia Shield.
Now I want to build a larger, more powerful server to allow multiple streams and data access at once. I'd like to be able to give access to my family so they can stream movies and also be able to back-up their photos and videos.
Please let me know if I can use any of these parts in this build.
Gigabyte H310N LGA 1151
Intel i5-8400
2x8GB 2666mhz RAM
2x4GB 2400mhz RAM
120GB SSD
250GB SSD
2TB HDD
8TB HDD
Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB
TL;DR
A Plex server for 4 possible streams at once that may need transcoding and enough storage for MANY 4k and 1080 rips. What am I looking at?
Thanks!!!!
P.S. I currently have a 500MB down and 60MB up internet. I will probably upgrade to the Gigabit plan.
