I'm struggling with CPU selection.. I've been bouncing from things like the E3-1246 v3, an i3-4160, or i3-4360.. I've got ARK and CPUBenchmark tabs opened everywhere. This is for FreeNAS, PLEX, and a few other plugins.
On The Fence:
CPU: Capable of transcoding 2+ 1080p (15+Mbps) ala Plex
Mobo: Embedded or ASRock E3C224D2I?
RAM: 16GB Unbuffered ECC DDR3 PC1600 (ugh.. RAM got expensive again)
PSU: SeaSonic SSR-360GP 360W
C2550 @ 2.40GHz = 2329 / $250 / 0.107
C2750 @ 2.40GHz = 3929 / $355 / 0.090
i3-4360 @ 3.70GHZ = 5599 / $315 / 0.056
E3-1230 v3 @ 3.30GHz = 9392 / $435 / 0.046
ARK Comparison / CPUBenchmark Comparison
Newegg C2550 & C2750 Board Comparison
Purchased:
HDD: 3x WD Red 2TB HDD - WD20EFRX
Case: Fractal Node 304 (Still upset I missed the BF $35 LianLi PC-Q25B)
Misc Available Hardware:
2x WD VelociRaptor 300GB 10K HDD - WD3000HLFS
3x WD Red 2TB HDD - WD20EFRX
1x Samsung 1TB HDD - HD103UJJ
1x WD Black 640GB HDD - WD6401AALS
1x 30GB OCZ Agility SSD - OCZSSD2-1AGT30G
That's for any time or effort you contribute to this thread.
