I want something to run PLEX, qBittorrent, Onedrive (ideally multiple accounts), a small Minecraft server, a storage NAS for video from a computer running OBS, and MAYBE a storage NAS for editing said video.
Questions:
1. Is that PSU sufficient?
2. Should I buy the M.2 SSDs right away or is there a chance the hard drives will perform well enough for a small MC server?
3. Are the M.2 ssds good for a minecraft server that would demand more performance than the hard drives?
4. Is the SAS card appropriate?
5. Should I include the GPU (I only expect to serve 1 plex client, maybe 2)?
I own the following already:
7600K
24GB DDR4
ASUS H270M
GTX 660
610W PSU (Its pretty old so the ratio between voltages may be different than a 600W PSU from today (+3.3V 24A, +5V 30A, +12V 49A, -12V .8A, +5Vs 3A)) I'd like to use it as I have an emotional attachment to this PSU (weird I know).
I am thinking of buying these things right away:
1x Supermicro LSI 9300-8i 12Gbps SAS

3x 8TB SAS Generic 3.5in - Mixed Brand Hard Drives (main pool)
https://www.ebay.ca/itm/385722947515
1x Patriot Burst Elite SATA 3 120GB SSD (Boot)
https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B08LKMQ9T4
And upgrading to these things if the above is insufficient:
2x Patriot P300 M.2 PCIe Gen 3 x4 128GB Low-Power Consumption SSD (minecraft)
https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0822Y6N1C
TP-Link 2.5GB PCIe Network Card (TX201)

And if I want a 10 gig card, I can run the GPU off a 1x slot.
