CPU and Motherboard for Mission-Critical unRAID Server

[ALLSTAR1JAC2899]

Hey all,

I am going to be building a critical 24/7 unRAID Server for the following:

• Critical file storage;
• Computer Backups;
• Plex;
• Media Finder/Downloader/Metadata/Organize (Sonarr, Radarr, Linarr, uTorrent, Sabnzbd, Plexply etc..)
• VMs;
  • Home Assistant;
  • Ubuntu;
  • Debian;
    • Pi-hole;
• Dockers;
  • Nextcloud;
    • File cloud and email server;
  • Grafana;
  • Portainer;
  • Zabbix;
  • OpenVPN;
  • NetData;
• and a few others.

 

What would you guys suggest for a CPU and motherboard? I am looking to spend about a thousand USD on just the CPU and MoBo, not the entire build. Just for the record, I have a Quadro P2200 and plan to use it. I will need PCiE slots available for a GPU, 10 Gig NIC, HBA, and SAS expander.

 

And again, this is mission-critical and will run 24/7.

 

Thanks.
