I currently have a storage rig with 1x 160gb (Win7 OS) and 5 2tb drives. I'm expanding the 2tb with 2 more additional drives and I'm out of SATA ports. I am thinking of upgrading the board, ram and cpu as it is using and old Athlon x2 with 6 sata ports and 2gb ddr2. My question is will the following parts be enough?:
Board: FM2+ Gigabyte GA-G1.Sniper A88X (8x sata 3)
CPU: FM2+ AMD Kaveri A4-7300 3.80-4.0GHz 2-Core (no OC)
RAM: Team Elite 4gb DDR 1600
Combined price for all 3 is USD 180 converted from PHP.
I use the storage rig more for dumping stuff, watching movie files and storing documents and pictures. Mind you, the rig is not turned on 24/7 and I only turn it on when I want to use it. I access the files via remote desktop for file transferring to an external hdd I plug on the rig or for sorting out stuff. I normally access files via shared network if I'll be watching or just transferring files over.
The reason I chose the board above is it has 8 sata ports with expansion slots available for add-on cards and it's on the budget side. What I need from the board is 8+ sata ports, USB 3.0 connectivity and a few expansion ports for future add on cards so I'm also looking for suggestions even if it means moving out of the budget range (but not too much).
