Hey Guys trying to optimize a plex server on windows 8 build. Need to stream to at least 4 devices. Mixed 480p/720p/1080p
I have a microcenter around and here is what I was thinking:
AMD 8230e and ASUS M5A78L-M/USB3
Combo $104 AR
I have 16gb of DDR3 ECC (hopefully this works but should)
I have 2 3tb Drives and a 1tb WD Blue for boot.
I was thinking to cheap out on the case with a CoolerMaster N200 and dinky
LEPA G Series N350-SB 350W
was also thinking a cheap 120gb ssd maybe $55
total for the build $262 -35MIR= about $230 with ssd / 180 without
I currently have a shuttle sn78sh7 with an AMD X4 955 (125w) and 2gb DDR2 which is getting maxed out on ram, but I am not really wanting to upgrade to 4gb max as I feel that is a waste, considering I have to run the fans on high/loud to get this thing stable.
What do you guys think... ? I suppose alternates would be the A10 7700k, the G3228, or maybe i3 4360...
