I'm building my first computer. I have a need for a large amount of storage and so I'm going to build a home server. I have a case and a list of parts, I wanted to get everyone's thoughts on my selections and if you foresee any compatibility or reliability issues. My goals are a home server for vms running Plex, FreeNas, Windows Server 2012 R2, SQL Server 2016, My SQL Server, Web Server and whatever else I want to do.
I also have a few questions.
Parts List:
Now, some of my questions:
1. I tried to get an idea of the power needed on pc part picker, but they don't support server hardware, so I don't really know what I will need.Currently it says 239, but it does not include the motherboard and 2 more sticks of ram I will add in the future.
Here is my part list:PartList
Can anyone recommend a supply?
2. I read a few places that its good to get a motherboard that does not have Audio and anything that you will not use right away, but I may end up needing it. I have the option of getting the: H87WSA, "A" for Audio Is it really worth not having it just incase I need it? What kind of savings are we talking about?
3.Following the last question, The CPU I currently have selected does not have onboard video, But I can switch to this: Xeon 1226 which does support graphics. The downside is that the 1226 does not support Multithreading, the 1220 I currently have selected DOES support it. Is it a good idea to buy the 1220 with multithreading and then buy a video card? Or is multithreading not necessary?
I hope this question is intriguing/interesting enough for you not to flame me. This is my first post here. I have been reading here for years though.
