I'm looking to upgrade my cpu and motherboard. Due to the use of plex it needs to be Intel for igpu hardware transcoding.
I'm thinking to go with an i7 10700 as I don't believe there is much improvement for the upcoming 11700 overall. But it does come with a newer igpu, so I've been wondering if that might make any difference worth waiting for?
Dockers I will be running:
Plex
Radarr / sonarr
Sabnzb
Deluge
Nextcloud
Openvpn
Mariadb
Mongodb
Ombi
Pihole
Swag
Self made docker (running scripts in a browser hourly)
(Probably more in the future)
And I'll be running 1-2 VMs.
I currently have 4 SATA HDDs / SSDs and 2 m2 SSDs for cache. So total 6 storage devices
With this upgrade I will also add 2 more HDDs (I believe I need to upgrade my unraid to "pro" for this? Or do cache disks not count?)
I'm thinking about one of the following 2 motherboards:
ASRock B460M Steel Legend
MSI MAG B460M Mortar
These are about the same price, I picked them for 2x M2 support, 6 sata ports and 2.5gbps ethernet. I've heard a lot of praise about asrock on this forum so I'm leaning towards the asrock one. But I'd love to hear opinions for one of these or even a different one. Same goes for the cpu.
In the future I may add a pcie sata card to add more HDDs.
Thanks in advance ^^
