I`m going to upgrade my current home server, it's very old (Intel Atom with 4GB Ram) and need upgrade for new project.
Requirements:
* NAS
* Handling 3 virtual machines (two Windows 7 and Linux without GUI) possibility to add 2 more in future
* Applications: Plex, Qbittorent, Files backup,
* Storage for Video recording
Below parts will be used from my current setup
* 2 x WD Red 4TB NAS Hard Disk Drive - 5400 RPM https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EHBERSE/?tag=ozlp-20
* Micro ATX case (no-name)
* SSD GOODRAM CX300 2.5 120GB SATA III 555/540 http://www.goodram.com/product/ssd/goodram-cx300/
and now I have a problem, I don't know what CPU and motherbord choose. I read a lot of guides, blogs etc and I`m stuck.
I read that Intel Xeon processors support better virtualization. I don't want RAM with ECC (not now).
My budget is ~ 400$ for CPU, motherboard, and 16 GB of RAM - it can be used.
One more thing, my current setup consume ~35Wats in iddle, I don't want to get higher than 80Wats in idle after upgrading.
I would appreciate your help.
