I am building a new system and was wondering if you all think what I have purchased and plan to purchase is agood enough for a system I can stream movies from and use as a everyday computer. Eventually I would like to add 3 or more hard drives and do a RAID setup.
I am going to set up Plex to stream my movies/shows/music from. I want to be able to log into this remotely to stream if I am not at home. Is this overkill for what I need or will this setup be just fine for what I need it to do. I don't want it to be sluggish.
So far I have purchased the power supply, case, SSD, and motherboard.
