I'm wanting to upgrade my file server on the cheap (~$250).
What are my best options going to be for new mobo, cpu, ram, and ssd?
I definitely want to stay in that price range and I don't think that's unrealistic.
My initial thought was to grab a microcenter mobo/cpu bundle. Then find a ddr3 deal (~$40 for 8gigs) and finally a 60gb SSD.
The ram and ssd should be fairly straight-forward, but which direction should I go with the cpu/mobo. Sandy/Ivy or AMD?
The board does need to have AT LEAST 6 sata ports. I would prefer 8.
I'm good on PSU and GPU, by the way. No need to look into those.
Thanks for the advice!
