So, this open computer has been my homelab for a good while now, but I desperately want to upgrade it, so please recommend any hardware/upgrades.

Edit: I will use this server primarily as a media server! (shock) Edit2: I'm based in Norther Europe, so Amazon is not an option for me.

Current hardware: /What you see on the picture

  • Motherboard: B250M Performance
  • GPU: Nvidia GTX 1080 (defect, runs like an airport as soon as it needs to do 'a heavier task')
  • CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7500 CPU @ 3.40GHz
  • CPU Cooler: Some cheap XILENCE fan
  • RAM: 16 GB
  • PSU: WPM600 Bronze
  • Case: Custom company (defo want to replace)
  • Storage: 1TB HDD + (2TB HDD but dead)

What I have to spare from previous build;

  • GPU: Nvidia GTX 1060
  • CPU Cooler: AMD Stock fan (doesn't fit this motherboard) Computer

If it's a dedicated box, proxmox is a bit of overkill imo. But definitely have a massive separation of OS and storage drives
