Wireless Nas Build ?'s ryzen APU vs gt 1030 for encoding

[tjrose91]

I can sell my Ryzen 3600 for about $75 and get a 5600g for ($150 - $75 so basically $ 75) so i can use the motherboard display options or get a GT 1030 Gddr5 for about $75, my build is trying to be a 3 tier backup system, a 2x5tb NVME raid 0, 5x2tb Sata SSD raid 0, then 2x10tb Sata HDD raid 1 all software based but be nice to migrate to a smaller desktop build and have remote access to all my files and play my media i don't have many blu-ray files some but not alot

 

MB- MSI X470 Gaming (something) has all the PCIe slots i need and PCIe lane splitting for the NVME raid card

RAM - 32 to 64 gb ram

PSU - 700w bronze

 

 

overall questions 5600g, 3400g or gt 1030 for what im trying to do, already have a Ryzen 3600

Why bother with RAID 0 when involving < 10 Gbps networking? It's much less reliable (even if you do have raid 1 to back up to) and you will never actually read or write at that speed.

GT 1030 will not work at all for encoding. GP108.

Id just use your cpu for trnscoding. Get something like a 5450 for 10 bucks if you need a displa out, but the 5600 should handle a 4k stream or two and lots of 1080p streams.

I dont even have a iGPU or GPU in my system and 4 threads of R5 3600 seem to handle CPU transcoding well (approx 2-3 transcodes from 1080p to whatever source wants at once).

so will vega 11 work for transcoding, i mean only really need a display out, at the end of the day and needs to be single slot gpu so i can have the main 16x slot for the NVME raid, Raid may seem a waste but its what im familiar with and hence the system will have 3 back ups and everything be done in software raid

So the R5 3600 will work i mean i can find an old GT 745 on marketplace for less than $40 but want something that will recive moder driver update for a littbe bit long might see if i can find a single slot 1650, or i think i got higher 8x slot that will still work that will allow me to use a dual slot gpu, a NVME adapter, wifi, and sata card
