February 17, 201313 yr Case: Lian LI PC-V354B Black Aluminum MicroATX Mini Tower Computer Case (already owned) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811112300 Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-F2A85XM-D3H AMD Socket FM2 A85X Micro ATX http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128572 CPU: AMD A6-5400K Trinity 3.6GHz Socket FM2 65W Dual-Core http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113282 RAM: Corsair Vegenace 8GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233180 PSU: Not sure thinking perhaps something modular for air flow but don’t want to spend a ton on it too lol Drives: Ultimately I’ll be maxing out my case with 7 (mix of 2-3TB) Green Drives Addons: Simple Features, Plex, SABnzbd, CouchPotato, SickBeard, Crashplan As you can tell by the addon’s I’ll primarily be using it for downloading, organizing and streaming my media via PMS. Plex will be doing some transcoding and I’ll be streaming to up to 4 difference devices. What are you guy’s suggestions overkill or just enough? My main concerned was the NIC compatibility and the CPU for Plex. Any advice would be most appreciated and thanks in advance!
February 17, 201313 yr Seems fine in my opinion. I would definitely get a Corsair single rail power supply. I have the 750W version in my unRAID with 15 drives and a SSD cache drive. Don't get cheap on a psu.
February 17, 201313 yr Author Thanks for the look over Yah I've heard bad things about cheaping out on the PSU and have been happy with Corsair so I'll probably buy another one.
