Please help - deciding on components
Hi folks, I need your advice. Took down my old trusty PowerHog of a ProLiant Server (with storage and 12 disks and all) for my old gaming rig. i7-4790K, 16GB RAM, 4x8TB HDD +2x 512 GB SSDs on SATA. No GPU. Transferred OK, and as soon as I was nearing completion of the software side we had a nice lightning strike and my new setup seems toast. (at least the mainboard, checked the power supply and that one seems fine)
I am eyeing on a i5-13500T for its low TDP because I'd like to keep power cost as low as possible (and as silent as possible...). Intel bc of Quicksync (and 13500 upwards has the UHD770). But as I like to keep cost as small as possible I am not sure about the mainboard as I need min 6 SATA Ports. Or should I go cheap mainboard and SATA Controller? But which one? [This one?](https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0BWYXLNFT/?coliid=I2CMSM3M2EI1O5&colid=2NUF126EEQZEW&psc=1&ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_lstpd_4EG3KECTGXPH8TX9PGG1) Or PCIE1x?
Usage: Plex Server, the ARRs, about 10-12 Dockers and 1-2 Windows VMs.
Please help me out, every ā¬ saved goes a long way here!
Cheers!
