I currently have a PC that I use to stream Plex movies and serves as storage as well ( with no real backups.. don't shoot me!) I serve up movies to me locally on my network, as well as to my parents a few states away. That PC currently has an Intel Celeron G530. For my FreeNAS box, I am looking to expand storage so I can fit more media whose primary purpose will mainly be streaming over PLEX.
I made a few impulse buys as part of black friday/cyber monday deals and currently have the current hardware coming:
Seasonic SS-660XP2 ATX 12V/EPS 12V, 660W, 80 PLUS PLATINUM Full Modular certified Active PFC Power Supply New 4th Gen CPU Certified Haswell Ready
- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151121
5 WD Red NAS Hard Drive WD30EFRX 3TB IntelliPower 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" NAS Hard Drive - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822236344
SanDisk Cruzer CZ36 8GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive (to run the OS)
- http://amzn.com/B007JR532C
For the last pieces to round out the build, I was thinking of the following:
Intel Xeon E3-1230V3 Haswell, 3.3GHz, 8MB L3 Cache LGA 1150, 80W Quad-Core Server Processor BX80646E31230V3
- http://amzn.com/B00D697PEG
ASRock Motherboard, Mini ITX DDR3 1600 LGA 1150 E3C226D2I
- http://amzn.com/B00G9TZHSQ
Crucial 16GB Kit (8GBx2) DDR3L 1600MT/s (PC3-12800) DR x8 ECC UDIMM 240-Pin Server Memory
- http://amzn.com/B008EMA5VU
and maybe the Fractal Design Node 304 case (although the price has gone up since I last looked)
- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811352027
I have been thinking of getting 1 more of the 3TB WD Red as well.
Does this seem like overkill for the intended use? I could also use help double checking that the RAM is supported for that mobo if this seems like an alright build. Should I add an Intel NIC as well? I think I remember reading in the manual that it is recommended. Any additions/deletions that you would recommend is very much welcome. Thanks for any help in advance!
