Is a B360M mobo good enough?


Recommended Posts

My goal for this build is to use it as a Plex server and run some dockers to help me manage my Linux (:D) torrents. It would serve 1 or 2 people at most and I have a Roku device, therefore, the transcoding feature will only be used occasionally.

 

Parts that I have

Case - Fractal Design Define R5 Black

PSU - Cortek Sirius 800W Plus Gold

HDD - 5 x Western Digital Red 6 TB (Plan to get 3 more in the near future)

SSD - Samsung evo 1TB

 

Parts that I am considering getting

Processor - Intel Pentium Gold G5400

Mobo - Gigabyte Aorus B360M Gaming 3 motherboard

RAM - Kingston 8GB DDR4 (KVR24N17S8/8)

HBA - Dell PERC H200

 

Is the Gigabyte Aorus B360M Gaming 3 motherboard good enough for this build? All I really need is the 6 x sata ports, and a PCI-E slot to add the hba card for future storage expansion. The additional RAM slot helps too. I'll be getting the mobo used, for around $67
