Looking for suggestions for a PSU for this build. I'm thinking 650W should be plenty. This build will not be expanded any further, so power requirements won't change.
Would like to have 10x Sata power from the PSU and this is limiting my choices. Is the Seasonic X-650 still a solid choice? Power supply technology hasn't changed all that much. I don't really have a $ limit as I believe in buying the best PSU for the job. I'm happy to use adapters or convert molex to sata (lose all your data) if I can trust the adapters and PSU to handle it.
Best case scenario, I'd like 2x(4xSata) runs from the PSU to the HDD cages in the case. Additionally, 1x(2xSata) run to the front cover of the case for the 2.5" SSDs.
Newegg Sorted By 650 and 10xSata
Seasonic x-650
CPU: Intel Xeon E-2176G
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-U12
Motherboard: Asrock E3C246D4U
Memory: 4x16GB ECC UDIMM
Raid-Z2 Storage: 8x 10TB WD Red
Iocage Storage: 2x 500GB SSD Mirror
Boot: 2x USB Mirror
M.2: 512GB 970 Pro (Probably Plex transcode or some other use)
AOC x4: 10GB Ethernet Card
AOC x8: Some HBA likely 8i or 4i4e (8x Reds on this or the 2x SATA as Mobo has 8x Sata)
AOC x8: Will be unpopulated to begin with. Would pop a Quadro P2000 (75W) in here if I decide to virtualize or in the unlikely event GPU enc/decoding becomes available.
Case:Fractal Design Node 804
Case Fan: 5x Noctua NF-S12A & 1x NF-A14
Power Supply: Seasonic Prime Ultra 750 Titanium
