Hi all

I've recently moved and are going to buy some new used computer parts to build my new computers.

My first decision was to use one socket type to all of my new computers in order to be able to troubleshoot them more easily. The next question that appeared was does different sockets have different traits?

I'm gonna build a hackintosh, a Ubuntu machine, perhaps a pc and a nas

The hackintosh will be a quite powerful machine. The server needs to be able to handle video from surveillance and other files as a home nas server. The server should be energy efficient and not consume too much energy.

The hackintosh require Intel CPUs so that narrows it down a bit, but is there any intel socket that are more preferable than others or should I just go for the newest that my budget permits?

Thanks in advance
