May 4, 201610 yr For home use would Dual cpu setup be overkill? Is there a benefit i am not aware of?
May 4, 201610 yr The dual CPU sockets is probably most useful if you plan to virtualize some significant workloads. For example, several streams being re-encoded in real time. For just storage, without any virtualization, dual CPU sockets is certainly overkill. It is not the location of the server, but what you use it for.

I am not sure if i would be using it for virtualization yet, thinking just storage, plex , a file share for family, but lately the kids want a minecraft server but think that would be better as a stand alone unit,

You dont need dual Socket to run a minecraft server. There are also minecraft dockers out there, no need for a VM (mineOS and mcmyadmin2)
May 4, 201610 yr Author I was thinking of just taking the plunge and getting this http://www.natex.us/product-p/s2600cp-cpu-64gb-12800.htm but what case,heatsink/coolers and psu would be good?
May 4, 201610 yr While this would be a sweet setup, it is complete overkill for what you've stated your needs are, a single socket will more than suffice.
