Build Advice Xeon E 2300 series Home Server Build Help

[theokrh]

Hi there Geeks.Im planning on a multipurpose Home Server for myself and I am stuck.I have been hunting component prices and searching info about servers in general for months.I decided i wanted a Xeon intel CPU for my build because i want the ECC ram protection.
I concluded to one CPU that is the Intel Xeon E-2356G.
I chose this because it is affordable and has 6 cores. I m also trying to find a motherboard with not so great success.As far as i understand i need a motherboard with a 1200 socket
and c252 or c256 chipset.

Ryzen desktop CPUs have ECC RAM support, depending on the motherboard. You don't HAVE to go with a Xeon.
Here is a thread talking about Ryzen 5000 CPUs (affordable now) and ECC RAM -- https://linustechtips.com/topic/1463422-ryzen-server-with-ecc/

Yes.not such of a ryzen fan.Also this is going to be my first server and i didnt want a prebuilt system.Im not desperate for ECC memory support but since all servers have this feature i opted for a xeon.

I know you say "home server", but doing what, exactly?

This looks to be very overpowered.
