Hey everyone,

I’m planning to build a home server, and I wanted to get some feedback on the parts I’ve picked out. The main use case will be running Proxmox with a few virtual machines and acting as a backup for my NAS. Here’s what I’m considering:

Motherboard: ASRock X870 RIPTIDE WIFI AM5 AMD X870 SATA 6Gb/s ATX Motherboard

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X

Power Supply: Seasonic PRIME GX-850

RAM: G.SKILL Flare X5 96GB (2 x 48GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 5200

CPU Fan: be quiet! Pure Rock Slim 2 130W

I plan to run Proxmox and a few lightweight VMs for experimentation, but nothing too CPU-intensive. I opted for 96GB of RAM to have some headroom for virtualization.

Thanks in advance for your input!
