I recently started using plex/radarr/sonarr/nzb360 and trying to get everything automated since I’m home for corona. Currently in medical school so I don’t plan on being home for long periods for the next 8 years or so and wanted to this up to automate and be as stable as possible. I currently have about 10 remote users with up to 5 at one time. I’m presently using my main desktop but I have an old PC lying around that I was planning on using instead while purchasing a few components. I’ve been lurking on these forums and saw that a solid performing spec could be had for cheap so maybe buying a new setup would be better. So my question is do I keep my current desktop, use the old one or buy a new setup.
Old PC
- i5-2500k
- Gigabyte GTX 650 - 2 GB | GV-N650OC-2GI
- 4x2GB DDR3-1600 PC3-12800
- NZXT Phantom Case
- MSI P67AGD65 motherboard
- 2x1TB HDD
- 1x250GB SSD
- i5-7400
- NVIDIA GTX 1060 3GB
- 2x8GB DDR4-2400 PC4-19200
- Odense2-K motherboard
- 1x1TB HDD
- 1x250GB SSD
Currently all media is on a 8TB external HDD with plans to purchase more HDD and possibly shucking.
Only planning to run Plex, Radarr, Sonarr, Torrent 24/7/365 with windows 10. Limited/No transcoding since my internet is 230/10 mbps so I’ll be direct streaming most of the time. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
