Wanted it to handle up to 3 transcodes. Also wanted to ask should I get another smaller ssd or usb to install unraid onto and use the other as a cache? Would it be better to go with this setup focused on the intel and igpu or go with something like amd ryzen 5 2600 6 core with gt 1030?

 

Would be happy to answer anything I have missed out, thanks for your help.

Was wondering if the cpu and mboard was overkill and if I could downgrade to get another ssd cache drive. Also need a boot drive for unraid, any suggestions? About $650 for build budget not including hdd and I'll be getting 2 to start with, 1 parity and other to use. Will get the others as needed, as far as I can tell will only need the one parity. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Much easier to add another SSD later than to upgrade CPU/mobo

Any good brand name between 4GB and 32GB, USB2 is all that's needed and often more reliable than USB3.
