Hello,
I will be attempting at building a high-end server-pc with the intent of streaming videogames from off of it to multiple devices simultaneously. Here is my list of potential components, so far -
• MoBo: ASRock Rack WD680D4U-2L2T/G5 M-ATX
• CPU: Intel Core i9-14900KS
• RAM: NEMIX 192GB (4×48) PC5-44800 ECC 5600MHz DDR5 UDIMM
• C:/ - WD_Black 8TB SN850X NVMe 2280 M.2 SSD
• GPU: RTX 5×××/6××× PCIe 5.0
• Audio: Creative Sound Blaster AE-7
• D:/ - + OcuLinks** (?)
w/ Icy Dock MB872MP-B 12×M.2 5.25"-Bay
+ 12× 8TB WD_Black SN850X M.2 SSD's
-- giving me 96TB of Storage to be used in RAID-10 for an Available 48TB of Accessible Storage
• E:/ -
+ Broadcom 9305-24I Low Profile HBA Controller Card 24-Port SAS
w/ Icy Dock MB924IP-B 24×2.5" 3×5.25"-Bay
Chassis: *Singularity-Computers Liquid-Integrated Chassis (I'm hoping)
...
Any advice/feedback is tremendously appreciated!

I'm debating whether or not to add the 12×M.2 Bay, because I see it uses "OcuLink" and I don't know anything about that ... though, looking at the pictures, the mobo seems to have 4× OcuLink Ports -- so I should be able to use this ToughArmor MB872MP-B with my build I assume.
Also, I don't know if the 3.0 sas would be able to support a 2.5"Enclosure with 2× Gen4 8TB M.2's ... I may have to settle for gen3 4TB m.2's,, which would cut my 'E:/' in half essentially.
Does this look like a feasible build?
I was considering having my video game archive located on the D:/ and the rest of my media-library contents on the E:/ and possibly utilizing an additional Icy Dock 5.25"Bay 4× HDD Enclosure with 4×WD32TB-raid10* for AI/Documents/Etc. using the remaining On-Board 4×sATA headers. ?
...
Would this work for a Gaming-Server? Would the intended M.2 SSD's function with all the other intended equipment? (IcyDock / StarTech / Etc.) ?
...and,AsMuch as I wanted to make it more compact,, I couldn't manage any viable ITX setup sadly.
-
If I ever do get this assembled and up and running, I'm hoping to set the CPU to 3.6GHz (maybe) w/ RAM @ 5600MHz and see if I can't maintain stability for streaming / access.
Thank you,
