Here is what I have so far. I want to make sure all this looks like it will work well together I kind of had to piece things together with what I could find. Especially worried about the processor being right and whether or not I should add a GPU to help ease the load. Any advice or thoughts would be much appreciated. Thanks! I’m going to be using this as a Plex server I own about 2,000 movies I’m looking to have digital streamable versions of. Mostly just me streaming from home/mobile. My budget spread across quite a few months if possible would be $400 with some room for HDD/SSD upgrades in the future.
