I found this mobo on microcenter.com and idk it is can be used as a server mobo as well. It is ASRock Z87E-ITX Socket LGA 1150 mini ITX Intel Motherboard

If ya need the link, here it is. http://microcenter.com/product/414947/Z87E-ITX_Socket_LGA_1150_mini_ITX_Intel_Motherboard.

 

Also, For the ram, idk how much and which type to get... Could use a little help here. I need ram enough for a home cloud server storing data, streaming hd vids/movies long/short distances, multiple users on server at same time, and can help with the transcoding (I don't actually know if the ram takes any part in the transcoding or not. Was just assuming.).

I7-6700k, Asus Maximus VIII Formula, 2 x 8GB Corsair Dominator Plantinum ram, ASUS GTX 960 STRIX, sound blaster zx, 1TB boot drive ssd, 128GB/256GB storage ssd, 1TB storage HDD, 4TB of storage (backup),Windows 10 Pro,1000w psu

Are you putting together a new server? You might want to head to the New Builds and Planning section for that.

If you ever need help with a build, read the following before posting: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/3061-build-plan-thread-recommendations-please-read-before-posting/

Unless you're running a filesystem that's going to use memory as a cache, then you'll be fine with 8GB of ram because nothing is really going to use much.

 

And you can technically use any board you want for a server. A 'server board' generally just implies xeon and ecc support, neither of which are really necessary for a home server, but if you want to use ecc memory then you do need a true server board, and with that in mind I would point you to the supermicro site, specifically here http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon3000/#1150
