I've been thinking about an upgrade for a little while, but after hitting some issues over the last few weeks, mainly related to an increasing lack of space (over 70%) and resources (32GB RAM not really enough) I thought it was time to build a shopping list. Just looking to replace my existing system (which will be retired to backup duties) with something similar but with more storage and memory, which hopefully this does:
Case: Another Fractal Define R5 (is there any benefits from the R6 or a different tower case?)
Motherboard: Supermicro X11SSL-CF (this seems like the newer version of the X10SL7-F?)
Processor: Intel Xeon E3-1220 v6 (is this a logical upgrade from the 1231 v3?)
Memory: 4xcCrucial 16GB DDR4-2666 ECC UDIMM (CT16G4WFD8266)
Power: Seasonic SSR-650FX FOCUS Plus Gold 650W
Boot: Intel D3 S4510 2.5" Enterprise SSD
Pool: 8x8TB Seagate 8 TB IronWolf 3.5 Inch 7200 RPM Internal Hard Drive (still a little torn on opting for less [6] higher capacity [10/12] drives)
I think that's about it. I might put in another couple of fans, but was planning to use the stock CPU cooler which seems to have worked fine in the current build.
It's around the £3,000 mark in the UK, but if it works as well as the last build and keeps me going for another 4-5 years it seems like a good investment.
Thoughts?
