i prefer an intel chipset  for my file server

 

faster data transfer from disc to disc

 

faster data transfer over the gigabit network

I would go the intel route, with either the latest haswell pent I'm or latest celeron. Both super fast and power efficient processors. I'm running a pent im g2020 in my little home server and it has no problem transcoding multiple 1980p video streams to tvs around my house using plex. So won't have any problems as only a basic file server!

CPU i5 4430 3Ghz | Ram: 16GB DDR3 1600 | GPU: GTX 650 Ti 1GB | Mobo: H87N-Wifi | Case: White Bitfenix Prodigy | Boot Drive: 120GB 840 Evo (Mac OS X) 120gb OCZ Vertex 3 (Windows) | Games Drive: 640GB WD Green | OS: Windows 8 & OS X 10.9.1

I love all technology. The perfection of macs for my designer side, and the hardware and fun of tinkering on the of the pc side. We can have it all, just not at the same time.

thats a great deal, you really cant go wrong at that price.

 

i personally would spend the extra 50.00 and go for intel because the chipset is for faster data transfer. but for me all my data is stored on the server so i require the fastest data transfer i can get.

 

i use win7 ultimate x64 for my server. i wish i had the cash for win home server 2012 :(

Pretty good deal IMO.

Also the VS 350 is not really good,because it uses bad capacitors inside.

dont like it

 

for an extra 5.00 you can get better performance and better memory options.  the description says 4x1GB sticks. the board only has two ram slots lol
