Hi,
I'm currently putting together a home server for the following usage:
Now I've already made a list for the potential build but I'm not 100% confident about it.
CPU: AMD A8-6600K 3.9GHz Quad-Core Processor (£65.94 @ Aria PC)
Motherboard: ASRock FM2A88M-HD+ Micro ATX FM2+ Motherboard (£47.03 @ Amazon UK)
Memory: Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Storage: Seagate 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Hybrid Internal Hard Drive (£53.94 @ Aria PC)
Case: BitFenix Phenom M Arctic White MicroATX Mini Tower Case (£71.95 @ Amazon UK)
Power Supply: be quiet! 300W 80+ Certified ATX Power Supply
Now I've done some research on CPU's and think I could probably get a better bang for my bucks for my purpose. Comparing these for example already gave me a feeling that the A8-6600K might not be perfect. It's probably a great pick for normal desktops but you you also pay for the APU, which my headless server won't really use. I found the FX-6300 interesting due to it's 3 core (6 virtual) nature.
I know I'll probably have to change the MB if I go with something else, that's fine, I'm open to both intel and AMD CPU's.
Input is much appreciated!
I'm currently putting together a home server for the following usage:
■ Use DLNA (for both audio and video) for various devices (smartTV, smartphones, ...)
■ Use as GIT server for personal use.
■ Use for Atlassian platform
■ To download torrents on request.
■ To automatically download the newest episodes of pre set series
■ Be flexible so if I come up with other uses it will be able to handle them ^_^
