Hi,
I hope I have this in the right Forum section! Please move if I don't.
Anyway, I am looking for some networking advice as I am building a Media Server to stream all my media content from. The parts I have so far include:
Old Antec ATX case
Riotoro 500W PSU
Intel i5 4590s
Corsair H55 AIO Cooler
Corsair 16GB DDR3 @ 1600Mhz
120GB Corsair m.2 (O/S and to be used as a Cache system)
500GB Samsung EVO SSD
1 x 4TB WD Red NAS hard drive and 2 x 4TB Seagate desktop hard drives
MSI 1050ti GPU (for hardware transcoding on my Firesticks)
ASUS XG-C100C 10G Network Adapter Card (PCIe x4)
Need a motherboard with PCi x16 and PCi 3.0 x8 (may upgrade to a 2-port 10g card later on)
Budget is around £150-£200.
Looking at z97 motherboards with at least 1x PCIe x16 slot and 1x PCIe x4/x8 slot. I already own a i5 Haswell CPU to keep costs down. Can't see me getting a decent newer i5 CPU for the budget.
Any ideas gals and guys!
