Hi Im currently running a pretty dated rig as my media server. Im looking for an upgrade hoping not to go above £300 more for it.

 

I have a 1050Ti That im moving out of my main rig (due to GPU Upgrade to 5700xt Pulse)

I wont have any monitors attached will just teamviewer in when i need to do stuff.

Will likely only ever maximum be two devices using the server at a time usually on the same network. 

Will reuse existing case as its tucked away in the cloak room so not concerned about aesthetics

 

I All ready have 

 

Pure Rock Slim Heatsink and Fan

Aerocool 500w 80+ Bronze Power supply 

The GTX 1050 Ti as mentioned above

An ATX Case

 

So what im looking for is a motherboard, CPU combo and as my old rig is DDR3, some DDR4 sticks. Not sure how much ram is good will 4 do or should i go 8/16?? I have 3x 2TB HDDS but think it would be good to put the OS on an SSD aswell. May go above the £300 if the extra cash is cost effective.

 

Thanks in advance for the advice :)
