niietzshe Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 (edited) Hey all, I’ve been a happy UnRaid user for about 5 years now. I was thinking of upgrading my machine to an i5 for helping Plex with transcoding, but that got me thinking: CURRENT BUILD intel pentium G3420 3.2ghz ASUS H81I-Plus 1x8Gb RAM Sata card 4x3Tb WD Greens 120GB Kingston SSD 300w ST30SF Bronze PSU LianLi q25b case What are my upgrade options for getting something powerful enough to run steam? I only have a Retropie for games, not really interested in most console games (Switch is another matter), so steams indie games appeal. I thought I had two pcie ports, but looks like only one, so I’d at least be looking at motherboard+cpu+gpu. Case looks like it supports 2 cards, not sure if I’d have to update psu. At that point should I look at a new build? Was thinking of streaming over Ethernet to RetroPie as my machine is under the stairs. I’m well out of my depths with this one so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Christian Edited March 30, 2019 by niietzshe Quote Link to comment
