Hello!

 

So I currently have an unRaid server built but I would like to upgrade a little bit. Its kinda an all for one build for me. I would like it to be able to be able to do the following:

 

-Plex, one user

-Occasional small game server

-NAS

-Back up for a few home PCs

 

Current Build:

i7 950

32GB RAM non ECC memory

20TB

 

My current CPUs I have laying around

2x E5620

2x X5550

2x X5667

FX 8320

FX 9370

 

I would like to use a pair of the xeons I have laying around since I have 64gb of DDR3 ECC RAM I could pair it with.

 

Another option would be to sell all of the above and buy CPU/Mobo/Ram that would suit me better.

 

What do you guys think? I would like to stay in the ATX form factor since that fits my current case.

The FX-9370 runs circles around everything else you list. It should do everything you require, but it won't be a fast machine.

It really depends on how much effort you want to put into it.

I'm currently planning my next upgrade (current build is about 7-8 years old) and will be targeting a Threadripper or possibly an i9.

Thanks for getting back to me. Maybe I should just keep running this one until I can save up enough for the threadripper system. 

To be honest I dont think you will see any benefit. The fx 9370 yes is a bit faster but also runs at a TDP of 220w which is alot for slightly better performance.

 

If I was  you I would outlay new cpu ram and motherboard in one hit. If you dont see a need for the current cpus try and sell them on ebay to help fund your upgrade
