Dear follower unRaiders

 

looking for someone who can help me figure out what to do/ what to choose.

 

my old system is due for requirement. Some components like the GTX 970 sadly produce more and more errors and will only be used for folding or such in future. The other parts will be gifted to a friend.

1 Intel Core i7-4790K, 4x 4.00GHz, boxed (BX80646I74790K)
2 Corsair Vengeance LP schwarz DIMM Kit 16GB, DDR3-1600, CL9-9-9-24 (CML16GX3M2A1600C9)
1 ASUS Strix GeForce GTX 970 OC, STRIX-GTX970-DC2OC-4GD5, 4GB GDDR5, 2x DVI, HDMI, DP (90YV07F0-M0NA00)
1 Gigabyte GA-Z97X-UD5H-BK Black Edition
1 be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 3 (BK019)
1 be quiet! Silent Base 800 orange, schallgedämmt (BG001)
1 be quiet! Straight Power 10 CM 500W ATX 2.4 (E10-CM-500W/BN234)

 

for new build I have the following list at hand:

1 Western Digital WD Black SN750 NVMe SSD 2TB, M.2, Kühlkörper (WDS200T3XHC-00SJG0/WDBGMP0020BNC-WRSN)
1 AMD Ryzen 9 3900X, 12x 3.80GHz, boxed (100-100000023BOX)
2 G.Skill Trident Z silber/rot DIMM Kit 32GB, DDR4-3600, CL17-19-19-39 (F4-3600C17D-32GTZ)
1 Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER Gaming OC 8G [Rev 2.0], 8GB GDDR6, HDMI, 3x DP, USB-C (GV-N208SGAMING OC-8GC)
1 ASUS ROG Strix X570-E Gaming (90MB1150-M0EAY0)
1 be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4 (BK022)
1 be quiet! Dark Base 900 orange, schallgedämmt (BG010)
1 be quiet! Straight Power 11 Platinum 750W ATX 2.51 (BN307)

 

I have quite strong bounding with beQuite devices because they never failed me. So note that here overpaying is within "reason".

 

As for usage:

2 VMs - Windows / Ubuntu with mostly the Windows being active

-- the Windows VM should receive the 2080 + m2 as passthrough for best performance (Gaming /VR)

Dockers - Plex, Coachpotate and Co, Nextcloud and some more special like Jira / Confluence server

Raid itself will remain with 4x Seagte Archive 10 TB + 2x 512 Corsair SSD Cache

 

System should be ready for future with possibility to expend both on Disks but also VMs/ Docker.

 

My concerns are mostly regarding current passthrough options / limitations and therefore maybe alternative Mainboards, CPU or GPU could be needed.

 

Gracious for any comment you are willing to share.

 

Cheers,

Matt
