i5-2310 2.9gHz mobo needed esxi built

[fistytek]

Hi there,

I have a i5-2310 2.9gHz lieing around and wanted to build an esxi server

Can anyone recommend a cheap mobo and raid controller that is:

- supported by esxi 6
- works with my CPU, LGA1155 socket
- Cheap-ish
- 32gb RAM "will have to buy, no need for the ultra low latency or OC ram

There is no need for it to have the most amazing integrated gfx as this will be primarily servers with no GUI.
This will act as home server with to host media home built NAS and testing environment, hence the raid controller as at times it may require heavy I/O's and run on one VM a plexserver.

Some VM's will be also for management purposes for a couple of security gateways I have running,

thanks ahead for time and effort in helping me out.

regards

fisty
