I'm no expert on Unraid, but personally I'd take more cores if you plan to run this many virtualized environments. Gives you more cores to alot to each environment.

Hi, I'm building a new Unraid Server.   I can't decide between the AMD 2700X or 3600X.   I plan to run about 2 or 3 VMs and 2 or 3 Docker containers for Next Cloud and Plex.   My storage will be two 500GB SSD for Cache and four 8TB Red Drives.   I have a GTX 1660 TI that I'm going to use for Plex.  Do you what the better CPU for this setup?   Thanks!
