Need Some Hardware Suggestions

[tkreidy 0]

Current Server:

Windows 10 Pro

CPU: i3-6320

RAM: 16 GB

No graphics card

Storage: WD Black, (3) 5 TB drives

 

ISP: Fios 200/200

 

This has been a long crazy path to get to this point.  Started with Plex but everytime I shut down my Samsung Tizen TV I had to reload the app to get it to work.  Anyway, happy with the switch to Emby and have paid for Lifetime Memebership.

 

I have settled on 20 of my family and friends to share my libraries with.  I don't think my current hardware will be up to the task.

 

I have been thinking of one of the following CPU's:

i7-8700

i9-9900

 

Not going "K" on them- I won't overclock anyway.

 

Most likely the Asus 390Z Prime

 

32 GB 3200 RAM

 

GPU: leaning towards the MSI 1660Ti

 

Possibly the Samsung 500 GB 970 EVO M.2 NVMe

 

Any suggestions?  

 

FYI- I am an Intel and nvidea fanboy and will pay the premium for those products.

 

thanks in advance.

Sounds like you're not too far off from this topic:

I'd spend extra to get a Quadro P4000 and save on the CPU.

Wouldn't a RTX2080 be more powerful and cheaper than a Quadro P4000? Just asking. Benchmarks are much higher. I don't really know how much a GPU contributes and how much the CPU.

The Quadro cards are designed to handle multiple 4K streams. I'm not certain other cards allow this w/o some type of workaround.

 

There's probably been lots of discussion about this in other threads.

I see. I will look into this. Thank you.
