Advice on my Budget Skylake Build (300€ PC parts excl. drives)

[R3jected]

Hello,

 

I need your advice. I want to build a buget nas for around 300€ in parts without the drives.

It shouldn't consume to much energy, but still have good transfer speeds and be reliable. Additionally I plan to a dvr plugin like tvhe to record television and maybe if this possible do some encoding via handbrake or so.

 

Here are the parts:

Intel Pentium G4400 2x 3.30GHz So.1151

8GB G.Skill Value 4 DDR4-2400 DIMM CL15

Gigabyte GA-B150M-HD3 Intel B150 So.1151

Nanoxia Deep Silence 4 gedämmt Mini Tower

360 Watt Seasonic G Serie 360 Non-Modular

 

+ I plan to add WD RED 3*3TB Raid 5  Array for the drives.

 

 

Thanks in advance!

Looks good, but you don't add a RAID array to Unraid.  Unraid provides the software RAID component.

 

As long as you don't want to run virtual machines then looks ok to me for a basic machine.

Thanks, is this maschine powerful enough for a couple of dockers? (like tvheadend, btsync, ..)?

Do I need a chache pool drive or will it perform well without one too?

That machine is more than powerful enough for a few Dockers.  I ran 6 Dockers (including Plex which was even transcoding) on an Athlon 5350/AM1 machine with 8GB RAM.

 

If you want to save a bit more money, consider a DDR3-based S1151 board, I'm pretty sure DDR3 is cheaper than DDR4 still.  Or, there's plenty of life in Haswell, so get a decent B85 board and Haswell Pentium.  I've run UnRAID on a MSI B85M Eco in the past, with a G3430 Pentium and it ran very well, and used less than 20W idle.
