Hi all,
I'm considering the following build. I'm looking specifically for places where I've cut too many corners, or places where I haven't cut enough corners (and could save some money). Specifically, pcpartpicker told me that some C236 chipsets potentially need updating with an older CPU. Will this be a problem with my motherboard? Is there a way to find out before buying? I plan on having a RAIDZ1 vdev (12GB capacity) to start, and add a second if required. All my important documents are to be also backed up online. Thanks in advance for your help. I've read the HW guide and used that to inform my decisions, only the CPU and RAM aren't explicitly recommended, and I'd appreciate input on how crucial this is.
