HELP!!!! I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO FOR MY NEXT UPGRADE!!!!!


Recommended Posts

Hey guys!!  I believe first time poster long time lerker!!  Ok currently like everyone else I have two independent systems running in my house.  My gaming laptop and my antiquated unraid server.  My current server is running on a q9300 processor with a max 8 gigs of ddr2 ram on a supermicro motherboard.  Now after watching Linus Tech Tips many videos of X gamers 1 Cpu I am considering giving this a try.  I am looking at buying used hardware, which I am not opposed too, but never have in the past on my main rig.  I am looking at 2 e5-2690 cpus and Supermicro Motherboard X9DR3-LN4F+ I/O.  I can get them all for $680.00 with a 30 day warranty, but my counter offer expires on my cpu in less than 24hrs.  My concern is related to hardware failure of these components and will they be adequate for my use.  I am planning to use my Unraid box as a gaming machine, home dvr vm windows 10, a family vm windows 10, nas, plex media server, crash plan, and want some extra capacity for adding different linux vms to learn on.  As far as games go I play Battlefield 4, WOW, HOS, other AAA mmos, and various other first person shooters.  The video card I am considering is a GTX 1070.  I will list the rest of what I am looking at buying below.  Let me know what you guys think about this option and the parts I have picked out.
