    What is your budget? 240hz is worth it for what it is but its prices are sky high

    I have added budget info:
    Budget: under £1000 for both monitor and GPU, monitor will be purchased first and GPU some time later (before end of year).

    Hi all, 

    I am looking to upgrade my GPU and monitor.

    The monitor would be something along the lines of 27", 1440p, 165hz/144hz.

    I currently have an I7 7700k (not changing), and a GTX970 (looking to upgrade).

    primary workload is gaming but for my final year at uni also engineering simulations and some CAD.

    Budget: under £1000 for both monitor and GPU, monitor will be purchased first and GPU some time later (before end of year).

    1. which GPU would you recommend? team red or green considered
    2. Also is 165hz worth it over 144hz?
    3. is 240hz worth it?

    Will there be a need for Plex to do transcoding of video? If yes, I'd pair that with an NVIDIA GTX1000-series and Plex Pass, so you can take advantage of H/W-transcoding. Otherwise, yes, it'd be able to handle that load easily.

    Usually no more than 2 concurrent users, usually no transcoding,

    I need some help deciding on a server.
    Use:
        Nas (to replace a struggling readynas 204) to finally get a usable network mount to work on live.
        Nextcloud ( ~6 users up to 18 sync clients)
        Database server to handle other applications
        Plex server
        Development environment
        Web scraping (continuously checking websites slowly, 1 request/sec or so)
        DNS sinkhole
        Ha proxy for next cloud and octoprint (running elsewhere on the network)
        This will probably be set up on a container system (docker).
    Will a single E5-2420 with 32 gig ram handle this?
    Or would a dual x5620 with 32 gig be more suitable?
    Which CPU grade/group of CPU should I be looking at?
    Do I need to look at spending significantly more?

    Hoping to spend less than £200.

    Edit: will also be running a steam cache server.

    And Plex will only be catering to 2 users and only rarely transcoding if at all.
