Hello folks, and first of all, have a nice day!
I google'd stuff over and over, had mostly irrevelant results which left me even more confused
about the matter. I'm a noob when it comes to servers, and i need a quite unique one (at least unique for my understanding).
Currently, i have a quite decent gaming rig:
Cpu: Intel 6700k
MB: Asus Hero Maximus VIII
GPU: Asus strix DCU3OC 980ti (soon to be sli'd)
RAM: 16GB G-skill CL15 3200mhz
PSU: 1200W FSP aurum gold
Now, what i need is;
Streaming 4k games and media to TV (No, i don't prefer having my pc in living room), with minimal latency as possible.
Streaming other kind of media to connected devices via local network or internet (1-3, mostly one device at a time)
A server storage, also can encrypt documents, which is accessible from other windows os computers and android os devices for my office (about 3-6 devices).
And i prefer them having all in one box, preferably small, which is located under the TV. (I can use a Icy Dock for storage hidden in somewhere close)
I have seen Freenas, which looks to be close to what i need, but got confused when it comes to PLEX. So if is there anyone experienced about the subject, i'm open to all possible suggestions about what kind of system i do require. Also i may need some advices for the local network connection for those applications.
I won't say money is not an issue, it is, but also i'm not going for anything underqualified for this kind of workload. I would like to go cheap as possible, unless i'm cutting the cost from reliability or latencies.
My current budget is like 2-3k$, including 4x5tb western digital reds (or other kinds of storage).
Than you very much!
