August 17, 20205 yr Hi, I'm a recent Synology convert and loving unRaid. I am using a low spec server at present and plan to upgrade in November. My current system is; J4105B-ITX @ 1.50GHz, 8gb RAM, Nvidia GTX 760, 2 x 10TB HDD'S. I have several Dockers running, SabnzbdVPN, Sonarr, Radarr, Pi-hole, Emby etc. Overall things run relatively smoothly, however my cpu is consistently pegged at over 60% when playing just one movie and will buffer more often than not. Ultimately I want my new server to set me up for the next couple of years and predominantly perform as an Emby server for several streams and a gaming setup via a Win10 VM. As such I have whittled my selection down to the following; i9-10900k, MSI MEG Z490 Godlike motherboard, 1600w Corsair PSU, 2TB Samsung 970 EVO Plus M.2, NVIDIA Quadro P4000 (solely for Emby transcoding), NVIDIA RTX 2070 Super (for Windows10 / gaming). 128gb G.Skill Trident Z Royal RAM, Fractal Design Define 7 XL case (will give me plenty of upgrade space). This will be a considerable investment for me and so I wanted to ask for opinion before I take the leap. At first glance, the new rig might seem like overkill however I want to ensure that I'm set for the next few years and most importantly, my Emby playback is second to none. Any ideas, suggestions, feedback, additions would be much appreciated.
