So I plan to build 2 or 3 systems over the next couple of months for our new home.
System 1 (Main use by me but the wife might use for casual browsing). I do a lot of things in one time so need build something that can cope with multi tasking including browsing, video, file downloads, IRC, compressing and decompressing files. Don't do PC gaming but would like it to be able to cope with it if I decided to. For this setup I can go with liquid cooling & SSD for primary storage device for OS.
System 2, will be on 24/7 and will act as file storage for streaming various media types througout the house as well as handling a torrent client and an FTP server. This needs to be quiet as possible as well as low on power consumption seeing that it will be on all year round but at the same time it need to handle any file transfer demands thrown at it. This will have few HDD's attached to it to make up 6 to 10TB of disc space.
Any advise would be appricated, cost is a factor so I'm more leaning towards AMD configs but don't want to rule out Intel. Ram setups & speed, motherboards, etc.
