Hi all,
I need advice/suggestion/recommendation on my list before ordering. I'd appreciate if anyone can comment on this post. My goal is building stable file storage server with 1 or 2 media streaming service running out of the box after assembly. I'm trying to avoid doing complex manual fix unless I have to such as flashing BIOS and etc. Let me know if there's anything that I should order differently.
CASE: Fractal Design R4
CPU: Intel i3-4330 (willing to go with E3-1230v2 or E3-1230v3 if it's worth the money of ~$40)
Motherboard: X10SLM+-F (due to difficulty to find online seller for X10SLL+-F in the States)
Memory: Crucial 2x8gb CT2kit102472BD160B
PSU: Seasonic G series SSR-550RM
HDD: 6 x WD 3TB (already purchased for RAIDZ2)
I don't think I need graphic card here, right? I'm planning to use default CPU cooler.
Motherboard + CPU is my primary concern and I'd like to have combo that works out of the box or with simple update if I need to. X10SL7-F is a bit over my budget.
Thanks.
