Help Upgrading Server


Recommended Posts

I'm want to upgrade my server to something more powerful and energy efficient. That can transcode 4k video for Plex.

 

My current server:

 

Cooler Master Case

Gigabyte GA 880GM D2H motherboard

Amd Phenom II X6 1055T

8Gb Corsair Vengeance Ram

6-HGST Deskstar 4TB hard drives

2- WD Blue 500GB SSD for Cache

 

What I have so far for new server:

 

Fractal Design R6 Case

Raidmax RX-700AT Titanium power supply

Cryorig H7 Cooler

What motherboard and processor is recommended? Has the idle power draw problems been fixed with Ryzen? I will be connecting a 10GBE card between my server and HTPC, so I will need enough PCI-E slots to fit the SAS Controller and the NIC card.
