Looking to upgrade MB/CPU on current system - suggestions

Featured Replies

Looking for:

MB supports up to 32gb/64gb of ram.

 

CPU - Average CPU Mark of 8,000 and up

 

MB +CPU + Ram =  $600 roughly

 

Current case supports ATX, m-ATX motherboards. Don't want to replace it currently.

For 500 bucks you could get the $64 Intel Xeon E5-2670 v1 +64 gig of Rdimm + a $300 mobo, i think they where putting out 18000 marks.

anyone input on my last post?

Those boards with that E3 v5 CPU is a great option however those combined with 32/64GB of RAM puts you well over your stated $500 budget.

Still looking at ideas for upgrade.

 

Still think I want to go with the  Intel Xeon E3-1230 v5 SkyLake 3.4 GHz 8 CPU but not sure on motherboard.

 

I have 8 sata devices in my current unraid.

 

two of them are on SYBA SI-PEX40064 PCI-Express 2.0 Low Profile Ready SATA III (6.0 Gb/s) Controller Card .

 

Would it be better to find a compatible mb with 8 onboard satas?

 

Suggestions on a board say at the $200 mark.
