I'm trying to set up a home lab with a media streaming server (using Plex or Jellyfin). Here is my parts list:
https://pcpartpicker.com/user/ramz_u/saved/#view=BbftWZ
I have two questions:
1) My RAM setup seems conflicting—AMD Ryzen 5 7600X recommends 2x1R DDR5-5200, but my MAG B650 TOMAHAWK WIFI has 4x DDR5 slots. Can I install a 4 x 32 GB kit?
2) Does this configuration support a home lab and media streaming server?
Thanks in advance.

You can set up a 4x32 configuration. The actual clock speed it operates at remains the main concern.
Will you be handling many virtual machines? Your 128GB storage might go unused otherwise.

Yeah. I'm still weighing my options between Windows Home and TruNAS Scale.
