Finally pulled the trigger after obsessing what to get.

1-CPU

Xeon E-2378 2.6G 8C 16T 16M

Intel® Xeon® E-2378 Processor (16M Cache, 2.60 GHz) - Product Specifications | Intel

Intel® Xeon® E-2378 Processor (16M Cache, 2.60 GHz) quick reference with specifications, features, and technologies.

2-Motherboard

Supermicro MB Motherboard-X12STL-F-O C252 Single Socket S1200 MAX128GB DDR4 MATX

3-Sata pass thru

DELL H310 (LSI 9211-8i) IT MODE 6Gb/s HBA

5. Artic CPU cooler.

6. Case will be Fractal Meshify Compact

7. I have 4 x 18 TB WD Pro’s


I hope I can run on proxmox and stream Plex with this without transcoding.

My advice when choosing the motherboards is to be really careful regarding X12STL boards since there are four of them and they are different but sound the same.

Good luck, I hope this helps someone.

Don't forget your boot drive(s). There have been occasional people who select something less than reasonable and have it bite them pretty quick.
