Ryzen 2600 for Home NAS

[FloX04]

I wonder if the R5 2600, which here in Germany is really cheap now that Ryzen 3 launched, would be good for my Home NAS that's running 24/7?

The NAS acts as a File Server for multiple users, hosts a cloud and web stuff and will have some VMs running on it (maximum 2 at a time, no intense workloads).

 

Do you think this CPU will do for my purpose?

To be honest, as a dutch person, i was thinking about getting the same cpu.

Except that i would also host game servers on them (dedicated) and was thinking about pairing it with unraid.

 

I don't think the 2600 will be a bottleneck and is a fine choice. 

But maybe some here have experience with a similar setup and can speak from experience.

My primary unRAID server is based on an I7 6700 skylake CPU and runs very well with many dockers including serving up my PLEX media server the R5 would be a great choice for a cheap but efficient build
