Hello there, I would like to upgrade my setup from a Raspberry PI 5 to something more capable of running Jellyfin properly. I also plan to host stuff like Nextcloud and some other small services.
The problem is I don't know anything about choosing hardware. I've tried reading online about this stuff and come across many recommendations to buy an NUC, not knowing I would have to purchase every component individually.
I would like your comments on the setup I currently have:
- NUC Type: ASUS NUC 14 Pro Kit (RNUC14RVKI300000I)
- Operating System - Still haven't decided yet, probably something easy like Ubuntu server
- CPU - Intel® Core™ 3 100U Processor
- Chipset - Integrated
- Graphics - Integrated - Intel® Graphics (C3)
- Memory - Adata 8GB DDR5 4800MHz CL40 SO-DIMM
- Storage - Western Digital Green SN350 1TB SSD M.2 2280 PCIe NVMe WDS100T3G0C
- LAN - Intel®, 2.5G LAN
Edit 1
Some clarifications: I still haven't bought anything, this is just what I am currently planning to buy.
I don't live in the US, and none of my local shops have a pre-built NUC available to purchase.
I will probably upgrade the RAM to a "Corsair Vengeance 16GB DDR5 5200MHz CL44" after reading some comments.
I’ve just realized this week that I’ve got Battlefront 2 for free on my epic account. Took some tinkering, but made it work in heroic (had to disable umu) but it works great. I am almost finished with the campaign, which feels like a showcase of all the maps, characters, and features of the multiplayer game. Still fun though.
