Unrealcpu

I have a spare 7700k with 32GB non ecc ram about 8 WD Reds Network is Cat 5 gigabit Ethernet. Would like to create a windows server or gaming / plex backup data and want to drag and drop files to my server as well for a backup maybe someone could tell me what else i could do with this server as well. I can get windows 2017 server if need be but not sure if that is any b etter than just using windows 10. There is no multiple users or need a mail server. My main computer has a 8 bay media sonic which i will use for my movie plex drive off my main computer, so when i run plex my main PC will be on , i will also be doing most of my gaming on this computer as well From my research NAS is great for a backup drive and cloud networking. I could care less about the cloud right now . If really wanting a file i think i can transfer files through remote desktop anyway. I want to use raid and need recommendations for which card would benefit me and a card to take advantage of a WD Red drive running at 5400rpm Forgot to mention i see alot of older raid cards on ebay very cheap like LSI megaraid etc which i heard is the best , which card would give me the most bandwidth at raid 6. Using Raid 10 for me right now is not beneficial due to limited space. I need at least 40TB of raid storage. I also will be using SSDs for my boot drive and would prefer Raid 6 on my raid card using SAS 8 port. I am not concerned about automatic backups if this matters So should i get a synology or qnap type raid or make a windows server? Thanks!

Thanks! my friend is telling me the same thing and that rocket league looks great with surround I guess i would miss ultrawide then.. Might go back to the store although the new CF791 blacks and colors look great Can nvidia do surround with different resolutions? I think only amd can do it

I would like some honest advice which would be the best setup? 3 monitors , XB271HU in surround with Gsync enabled 2560x1440 default res 1x Samsung CF791 4k for main viewing 21:9 with 2x XB271HU left and right side viewing 4k is growing on me but the lack of gsync or having the max refreash rate on the samsung 4k would only be 100hz. which is fine , i do not think i will miss 165hz or gsync on the xb271hu for main monitor gaming The CF791 Samsung 4k has 4ms at 100hz 21:9 and had no issues playing cs go or rocket league . I think the ultrawide advantage outweighs gsync for competitive gaming and overall gaming satisfaction. Can nvidia surround still be enabled when the left and right monitors are a lower res than the main monitor? What would you suggest? I do not care about other monitor options at this time

i have an issue where my 8tb archive drive makes a loud click noise on bootup. I own about 5 of these and only 1 does it. I am starting to think something is wrong with it however after testing it on seagate tools no errors are found. I only use my drives to stream multimedia , the rest go in the closet for long term storage. i am ok with them . Other than that they are very quiet
