Toxicable

Ah, I should have specified, I'm using Jellyfin not Plex, which as I understand can use AMD, Nvida or Intel hardware, although maybe there would be some performance difference, I havn't investigated much past "does it work"

Budget (including currency): A$600-800 Country: Australia Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Torrenting, Remote programming, Sometimes game servers (Minecraft, Valheim, etc) Hey team, I'm looking at building a new home server that I'll be using for a variety of server stuff, as mentioned above. One use case is game servers, so I think a CPU with a bit of single core performance would be ideal, but then also a good amount of cores for the various loads. Additionally I might partition this into half gaming rig, half server later on for my partner to be able to use - The idea here would be to just slap in a GPU if that happens. The main part I'm not 100% on is the CPU, the 5600 dosen't come with onboard graphics so transcoding will be done on the CPU which will be quite the burden, I'm not sure if it's worth the trade off for CPU performance to get maybe the 5600G which has onboard graphics.

Oh no, my bad, only scanned over what you said

I have a 960 and have 3 monitors and they work just fine. I dont stretch games over all 3 because that wrecks the aspect ratio and looks stupid on the games I play. But I can play games on my main monitor absolutely fine with chrome or visual studio on my other monitors

How can you only be pretty sure? As far as I know every language save assembly has functions, arrays, loops and stuff like that

Ahh ok, that makes sense thanks

I've tried a bit of google and they look exactly the same, except the H798 is about $30 more expensive here in New Zealand

I use Visual Studio

RAM speed dosent matter, get the cheapest ones that is combatible with your system

The most popular language in the world right now by a huge amount is JavaScript. I personally very much like C# which would be more inline for what you a language for

I dont know if anyone mentioned it since I didnt read all the posts, but have you tried Regex? (google it) . If the string fits a pattern then regex will work fine

When you retrieve a record from the DB with EF having LazyLoading enabled it will load in the first entity to memory and references to the other related entities, then when you return that entity as a Web Api response it will then serialize it into Json or XML. I believe that the default serializer for json is Json.net. To stop Json.net from creating self referencing loops you can use the below code on your webapi config. Aside from that you can also use the .Include() method to invoke Eager loading on an entity More on lazyeager loading here https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-nz/data/jj574232.aspx config.Formatters.JsonFormatter .SerializerSettings .ReferenceLoopHandling = Newtonsoft.Json.ReferenceLoopHandling.Ignore;

Or C# for all 3

Oh bugger, after looking at the website it looks like it only supports E5 2600 family v3/4 the CPU im looking at is v1 I think

So im thinking about buying a server. The CPU's im looking at are the Xeon E5 2660 8 cores, 16 threads at 2.2-3 GHz. The reason why im looking at these is becasue I think I can get them pretty cheap (200 ea second hand) The motherboard im looking at is the Supermicro X10DRL-i dual socket board. The other parts of the system I havn't looked at but am sure they are trivial Memory: ECC 16GB per CPU at the rated speeds for the motherboard. PSU: Probably about 450 W should be heaps enough (100W per CPU I believe) Storage: 1TB Disk drive, 250 GB SSD The main concern here is the CPU and motherboard compatibility between CPUs and motherboard, I cant find the motherboard on pc part picker, from what i've read the motherboard is LGA 2011 so it should be fine with the CPUs but I wanted to check with you guys. So what do you think? good plan? not compatible?
