I am planning on making a NAS that is friendly on the wallet and was trying to keep the price below $100 per components where possible (except for the HDDs). I do however want to consider upgradability in the future (swapping processors for better ones with same socket). I also want the NAS to handle multiple requests at once and at times to stream 1080P videos.
I was looking at possible CPUs for my build and find some great AMDs for low prices.
I think an APU is best, so I won't have to buy a graphics card since I plan to manage it remotely.
Some questions that I have are:
The two that I am mostly considering are:
BTW, here is a link (http://bit.ly/1sBvoW9) to one of the stores I buy PC parts and their selection of AMD CPUs in my price range. Let me know which would give me the best bang for the buck.
I really appreciate your help!

Some questions that I have are:
- A lot of them have 1MB cache... is that enough or should I look for more?
- Is a Dual core Processor enough or do I need a Quad core (which means I can not use an APU or have to go to higher price range)
- What is the effect of clock? 3.5GHz vs 4.2 GHz
The two that I am mostly considering are:
AMD A6 7400 (65W) Dual-Core Processor
- Socket FM2+, 3.5GHz, 4Mb Cache, 28nm
- (AD740KYBJABOX)
AMD A6-6420K Black Edition (65W) Dual-Core Processor
- Socket FM2, 4.2GHz, 1Mb Cache, 32nm
- (AD642KOKHLBOX)
- Socket FM2+, 3.5GHz, 4Mb Cache, 28nm
- (AD740KYBJABOX)
