March 2, 20251 yr I'm using UnRAID primarily for Plex, that's the workhorse. I also have a couple of VMs - Home Assistant, a few basic desktops. I've got about $500 to spend. Would it be better to buy a video card, or replace the MB/CPU/RAM? Here's what I've got: CPU - Intel Core i3-8100 CPU @ 3.60GHxz MB - ASRock B365M Pro4 Mem - 32GB DDR4 No Graphics card - uses the Intel for GPU I could get something like: AMD Ryzen 9 9900X, MSI X670E MAG Tomahawk WiFi, G.Skill Flare X5 Series 32GB DDR5 for $500 or I could get something like a NVIDIA RTX 4060 8GB or an AMD Radeon RX 7700XT or an 7800XT. Any advice would be appreciated.
