I'm building a system for two purposes:
- Software development.
- Maintain and process large data files.
It's like a professional workstation.

Do not need to buy: monitor, keyboard, mouse, video card.

Many of the parts are not on pcpartpicker,
I'd appreciate any comments on the following config:

The Cooler Master case has somewhat a problem with right-angle SATA connectors (does not fit well), according to several newegg reviews. The asrock C226 WS has right-angle SATA connectors. So I switched to the supermicro X10SAE-O motherboard, with straight SATA connectors.

Current config:

I never thought of that.

"make -j" "Specifies the number of jobs (commands) to run simultaneously." I use make to build lots of different things. So it sounds like that might make full use of the extra cores, as you suggest.

There is also a "make -l" option to keep starting new jobs as long as the load limit is below some limit.

Thanks
