Currently I've been running been running plex on my main pc, and for the most part it hasn't been an issue but lately I've been running into the limits and can't game while watching certain streams so I want to build a server. I've also been running 2 minecraft servers on my spare PC, one is heavily modded and it pretty much requires 8gb of ram to itself, the other one is vanilla and is doing fine with 4gb but anytime I have company over I have to shut down the servers for the PC to be use able so I am just going to break down and build a server. I plan to run FreeNAS as my OS but I am undecided on the type of hardware I want to use. I want to use old server hardware from ebay but I don't know anything about the server industry so I'm not sure what I'm looking for or what would fit my needs. Is it worth my time or should I just build with consumer parts? If server parts, leave suggestions on cpus/motherboard Also I should note that I most of my Plex media is in 4k, for two of my 4k tv's but I also often watch from my phone or 1080p kitchen TV. Usually up to 2 people watching at a time. So transcoding on 4k may be required at times.

I do unfortunately, that's what's giving me the most trouble in searching. Comcast in specific has presented more trouble in the search because there are a lot of incompatible VoIP modems Thanks, this was the answer I was looking for

Okay so I'm looking to buy a modem but I'm a little bit confused on if the modem max speeds will bottleneck my router. I have a router rated for gigabit speeds on all 4 ports (only for future proof reasons as I only achieve 300Mbps via ethernet). I have my eye on https://www.bestbuy.com/site/arris-surfboard-docsis-3-0-cable-modem-black/5839004.p?skuId=5839004. My biggest concern is since it has a max 343 Mbps download, does this mean when connected to a router it'll split that 343Mbps 4 ways (assuming I have all 4 ports on my router occupied) or will I get the max speeds on all 4 ports of my router simultaneously? Sorry if this has been asked somewhere before, Ive had trouble figuring this out and I didn't really know how to word the question without typing a short paragraph

So how high did you manage to get the clocks up to? Someone gifted me the same card and I figured it couldn't go much further without external power
