bmilcs Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) EDIT: I don't know what to do. Ryzen 2700 build? Or Xeon? details below: Hi again, After some nice suggestions in my original Reddit post, I think I've settled on a Ryzen 2700 build. Quote I just upgraded to Pro after 3 years with Unraid. I'm looking to upgrade my current server which consists of: AMD FX6300, 6 Core/6 Thread 3.5GHz (TDP 95W) Asrock 970 Extreme3 24 GB RAM ractal Define R5 LSI SAS 2x low end SSD's & several 4tb reds & 8tb whites My Usage: Majority of common media gathering / playing dockers (movies, tv, music, podcasts, etc.) PiHoles, Unifi controller, UNMS, etc. Web host small site, nginx/LE, VPN Backup server for desktops, etc. NVR Server (4-5 cams -- struggling to configure atm) VM's: Debian Xfce, Windows 10 (and more) My goals: Reduce net power consumption Much less than $1000 ideally Fit in Define R5 (if feasible) DDR3 ECC RAM (I hear this is most affordable for large quantities) More threads & cores Pfsense(quad nic inbound), syslog server, grafana/additional monitoring, lots of virtualization, overall performance across the board Anyways, I know this is a wide open question and excuse my ignorance! Home renovation has taken over my life and I could use a point in the right direction. Thanks! Stability = paramount ... all while reducing my power consumption :P. The 2700 seems to fit the bill. Questions 1) Motherboards - Would the X470D4U be a top choice to pair with the Ryzen 2700 & ECC RAM? If not, what would you recommend? Currently have 5x 3.5" HDD's & 2x SSD's (soon to have much more via SAS controller) 2) ECC: What is the cheapest (yet reliable) ECC RAM to pair with this setup (4x 16gb)? 3) Compatibility: Will my existing hardware below play nicely with a Ryzen 2700 build? Thank you so much for your time. I greatly appreciate all your feedback.
