Hi All, I'm currently in a tricky situation. Because of lockdown, ive decided to do a passion project to keep my spirits high. I'm looking at building a new Nas to replace my current Qnap Nas. The Nas that i am building will be a home media server (maybe a plex server) whilst experimenting with some virtualisation (perhaps even running a Minecraft server). I've already brought some stuff for the build as ive found that the Fractual Node 804 is a fantastic case for a Nas as it has room for up to 10 3.5inch hard drives. I'm looking for CPU and motherboard suggestions. There's no budget and It can be as high end as needed but needs a micro atx form factor The reason I'm in a tricky situation is because I'm in the awkward stage where new CPUs and motherboards releases are coming out in the coming months. Appreciate any feedback Many thanks, DaButterGamer
