Noob New Build Please Help

[shazza6887]

Hi all,

 

Could someone have a quick look over these components and give me the all clear?

 

I basically only use the server to watch my movie rips on my Nvidia Shield and HTPC. I do not require the system to be able to do vm's dockers etc. The movies currently (even the 4k ones) work fine off my Nas that has 1gb ddr in Raid 5 Array through a Gigabit switch. I am planning on started the build with 2 x 8tb Seagate Irons wolfs and add a further 4 drives as I sell off my old hardware.

What CPU does your NAS have? The parts look fine for what you want to use them for, my only concern would be 4K. I currently play media off my unRAID server over a gigabit lan, but I don't play 4K and I am not certain if playing 4K may require more CPU overhead than your G4560 can offer. Are you using Kodi on the Shield to play your media or Plex?

[shazza6887]

Its a little atom processor, I use Kodi on my Shield, I believe it is a direct stream? no transcoding done, Shield plays all in native. I have used it with 70gb rips sometimes nil stutter sometimes a second of buffering although those 4k movies where on a separate HDD enclose which is hooked up via USB2 to the Nas.

Then you should be fine with the parts you have picked for your build.
