August 8, 20178 yr hello. i am trying to pick out a micro atx motherboard for a new unraid build. i have a i5 6500, gskills ddr4 2133 memory and a samsung m.2 hard drive from a build i never finished. i would like to run one vm. looking to stay under $150 if i can. thanks for the help.
October 3, 20178 yr also check out pcpartpicker, they're pretty good with building up systems and some initial compatibility checks.
October 3, 20178 yr Pretty much what I do with my system - the Asus H170M-Plus I have has been perfect. 6 SATA, 1 M.2, Intel NIC, 3 fan headers, 4 DIMM slots. I run an i5-6500T with an Arctic passive cooler, 16GB RAM, and a 256GB Samsung NVMe SSD for cache/VMs.
