ok got it thanks!

It costs around 180€ here; but it's an external solution, i wanted an internal hdd so i can have all inside the case and save space, are you suggesting that i take the drive off the enclosure and use it as a normal internal hdd ? The part i dont get is where the cache it is stored in my server...in a folder that i decide ? and if yes, can i decide to store it in multiple drives ? Yeah you're right, i didnt think about updates and boot drive, plus i've already got one that i use as a scratch disk... thanks!

You mean this ? It costs a fortune here ... 8tb costs close to 270€, 4tb costs around 130/140€ Ok so i'll put the 5750 just to have a video output then I don't want to pay for unraid just to have a web gui, was thinking on using some remote desktop program Ok i get it, but how does it work on the (my)server side ? do i just point a folder on my server and all the game cache goes there or can i point a folder for each game cache ? or does it store where there's space? What's the point in doing that ? i mean once the system is up and runing i dont plan to turn it off.

Sooooo... I decided to build my first NAS/Plex server/Steam cache storage thing and i need help. The goal is to have a NAS where i can put my files like photos, videos, ecc; Plex server that is capable of streaming 1-2 1080p videos; Steam cache library so i dont need to redownload games every time i want to play older games, and if possible use the same concept for other game platforms and windows updates. This is the hardware that i have laying around: CPU: Ryzen 1600 Mobo: MSI Pc-Mate b350 HDD: external 3.5TB seagate hdd (i'm planning to shred the enclosure and just use it as an internal hdd) PSU: idk which brand is it (maybe LC Power?) but it's 600w (the 120mm fan make some noise but i'm going to replace it) GPU: i've got an asus 270x 2gb, a gigabyte 260x or 265 (i dont remember) windforce3 2gb(?), and a powercolor 5750 768mb I'm planning to buy: 1x Seagate BarraCuda ST2000DM008 2TB 7200 RPM 256MB (i dont have much to spend right now, i'll buy more later/as needed) 1x Ballistix Sport LT Gray 4GB DDR4-2400mhz (it costs 20€ and it gets the system running) 1x Corsair Carbide 100R (it costs 50€, it's small enough to fit where i wnt to put the system, it has 4x3.5/2.5 and 2x5.25 and most impontartly my atx mobo fits inside) Potential Build: CPU: Ryzen 1600 MOBO: MSI Pc-Mate b350 RAM: 1x 4GB Ballistix Sport LT DDR4-2400mhz HDD: 1x 3.5TB seagate hdd 1x Seagate BarraCuda 2TB PSU: LC Power(?) 600w +fan mod CASE: Corsair Carbide 100R GPU: Asus 270x 2GB Direct CU2 Top Questions: 1) What do you think about the hardware ? 2) I wanted to use the 270x to help plex media transcoding but i've read somewhere that amd gpus arent that stable/do not perform well with plex, can someone confirm this ? 3) I'm thinking to use ubuntu/ubuntu server as OS, any other OS i should consider ? (keep in mind that i basically dont know anything about GNU/linux) 4) Is it possible to have the entire storage shown as a single drive without having to set up a raid ? 5) How does steam cache file management works ? I mean can it put games on different drives or i just point a folder and all the games get stored there ? 6) Down the line i'll be upgrading this NAS with more hdd, is there a method to have a raid 5 or raid 1 and add more drives to that raid ? Thanks for the help

up

As the title sais i want to upgrade my pc, to be more precise i want to upgrade my cpu+mobo and ram, right now i have a 8320e@4.5ghz cooled by a coolermaster 612s, 2x4gb ddr3 kingstone 1600, and a crosshair V formula-z from asus; any suggestion ? my budget is around 300€ for cpu+mobo+eventually ram this include shipping, i was looking to buy a r5 1400, 8gb ddr4 3200 vengeance, and an asus prime b350m-a but i was wandering if you guys have any better suggestion

My bad then

yep, sorry forgot to put the link. edited the first post

Today i was checking some stuff about the new crosshair vi hero, by accident i clicked on cpu support list and i found this If this informations are right (and i think they are) we're going to see a product stack like this: APU: -A12 9800 65w tdp 3.8ghz 4 cores (possibly 8 threads ?) 2mb of L2 cache -A12 9800E 35w tdp 3.1ghz 4 cores (possibly 8 threads ?) 2mb of L2 cache -A10 9700 65w tdp 3.5ghz 4 cores (possibly 8 threads ?) 2mb of L2 cache -A10 9700E 35w tdp 3.0ghz 4 cores (possibly 8 threads ?) 2mb of L2 cache -A8 9600 65w tdp 3.1ghz 4 cores (possibly 8 threads ?) 2mb of L2 cache -A6 9500 65w tdp 3.5ghz 4 cores (possibly 8 threads ?) 1mb of L2 cache -A6 9500E 35w tdp 3.0ghz 4 cores (possibly 8 threads ?) 1mb of L2 cache CPU -Athlon x4 65w tdp 3.5ghz 4 cores (possibly 8 threads ?) 2mb of L2 cache Link to the page: https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/ROG-CROSSHAIR-VI-HERO/HelpDesk_CPU/ Sorry for my bad english

That's not the problem... Sry but i can't explain simpler than this: i have a 6-part archive, this archive was made to split 1 single file. the splitted file in part number 4 of the 6-part archive was missplaced (idk how or why), instead of .zip>"splitted file" + folder is in .zip>folder>"splitted file". So basically what i'm trying to do is extract the missplaced "splitted file" out of part 4 archive and recreate the archive in the right order (.zip>folder+"splitted file")

No sry, it contains private information that i can't share... I'll try to explain a bit better: i've got a 6 part archive and i need to extract 1 file that only exist in archive part 4, the problem is if i try to extract that file from archive part 4 witchever program i'm using will try to merge and extract all the archive parts but i don't have all the parts..

The problem is that winrar or 7-zip will start automatically to look for the next archieve to merge the extracted files, and i can't use the next archive because it's broken

As the title says i need to extract a single file from one .zip archive and i don't know how to do it ... any suggestion ? EDIT: i mean i know how to extract 1 file from multiple .zip archives but the problem is that i have to extract one file from one archive without touching the other archives

Asus for sure.I've had some bad experiences with gigabyte...

The h80i and all the corsair liquid coolers (i think) use the standard amd mounting brackets, you don't need a backplate to mount your h80i. I've got a h100i and an asus formula-z, used the standard mounting brackets didn't need to use the backplate
