New unraid build recommendations for AM4 processor


Recommended Posts

I have built an unraid based on a SuperMicro X9DAI motherboard.  The build is up and running, but I can't get GPU passthrough to work.

 

I am thinking of doing a new build.  I have a few AMD AM4 motherboards (ASUS PRO B550M-C) which I can use as the base.  I would like to build a gaming capable PC using GPU passthrough, so I would like to get some recommendations from folks here.

 

  • Which Ryzen CPU is deal for this?  Would like one that's best bang for the buck.
  • How much ram should I get for this system?  It has 4x DIMM slots
  • Should I get a CPU with integrated GPU to use for the system?  Or get a cheap GPU for the system, and a second GPU for the gaming?  I heard it is best to have 2x separate GPUs for passthrough or can one work?  The motherboard has 2x PCIEx16 slots.
  • Use M.2 NVMe for cache?
  • It has 4x SATA 6 GB/S ports for storage drives.  Any recommendation ideal size?

 

Would appreciate if folks that have built this in the past can provide some recommendations.

 

Thanks!
