Motherboard: ASRock H370M-ITX/ac Mini ITX LGA1151 Motherboard ($109.99) So, due to all that, here's what I'm looking at putting together.ĬPU: Intel Pentium Gold G5420 3.8 GHz Dual-Core Processor ($64.03) My only other issue is that I would like to extend the use of my Plex server to close family or friends (like 3 or 4 households) and I'm not sure how well the NUC could handle the potential additional load. They clutter up my entertainment center area where everything is setup.
My main issue with it and my desire for upgrading is that my path forward for increasing my storage revolves around external drives, and I don't really want to keep collecting external drives like I'm currently doing. Every member of my household can have their device streaming from Plex without any issues, IIRC the CPU load gets up to 60-80% when doing that. My current Plex server solution was a bit of an eBay special (as in it wasn't something I was intending to implement, but I got a great deal on it) and it's serving it's role very nicely. Also, I have a lifetime Plex Pass so hardware transcoding is available to me. I also have a 4TB 3.5" Western Digital Green internal HDD in a FIDECO external HDD enclosure that I plan to add to it soon, but I'm currently organizing and removing data from this drive onto my Synology NAS, I'm doing this as the 1TB drive is almost full.
Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): My Plex server is currently an Intel NUC7CJYH (Celeron J4005 CPU) with 4GB of RAM, a 250GB Samsung SSD, and a 1TB Western Digital external HDD. Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Plex Media Server Budget (including currency): Price conscious but flexible.
