Puntuación de solidez futura
Solidez futura sólida79/100
Strong future-proofing (79/100) — this build should stay relevant for years without major surgery.
Upgrade path75
DIY build — the CPU, motherboard and PSU can each be upgraded independently without replacing the whole system.
Expansion90
Expansion headroom: 3 PCIe slot(s), 1 M.2, 3 SATA, 1 drive bay(s), 2 RAM slot(s) free.
Storage growth70
Storage is 71% utilized with 1 free drive bay(s) and 3 free SATA port(s).
Memory growth75
2 RAM slot(s) free; memory is 75% utilized.
Networking80
Networking is 2500 Mbps, and a free PCIe slot can add a faster NIC later.
Replacement ease90
ATX form factor with standard, socketed components — most parts are easy to replace.
Workload change70
No GPU, but there is room (3 PCIe slot(s), PSU headroom 4.1x) to add one for AI/transcoding.
Homelab Risk Score
Riesgo moderado41/100
Moderate risk (41/100) — a few items are worth fixing before you commit (see checklist).
high
Single point of failure
Storage has no redundancy (2 drives, no mirror/parity) — a single drive failure exposes the array.Solución: Add at least a mirror (RAID 1/ZFS mirror) for irreplaceable data, or an additional parity drive for larger arrays.
medium
Storage risk
1 desktop hard drive(s) — not rated for 24/7 duty, vibration or heat; higher long-run failure risk.Solución: For an always-on system, prefer NAS/CMR-rated drives; monitor SMART and replace before the warranty ends.
critical
Data loss risk
2 drive(s), no redundancy, hard-drive media — the worst combination for keeping data safe.Solución: Add redundancy and an off-site/off-box backup for anything irreplaceable.
low
Power risk
PSU is 450W, peak load 109W (24%).Solución: PSU sizing leaves healthy headroom for spikes and future parts.
low
Network risk
Single 2500 Mbps NIC — a switch/port failure takes the box fully offline, and multi-user media can saturate 2500 Mbps.Solución: Consider a second NIC or a managed switch; for heavy media, plan for 2.5/10G before the build.
low
Expansion risk
3 PCIe, 1 M.2, 3 SATA, 1 bays free.Solución: Healthy room for future drives, NICs and accelerators.
low
Upgrade risk
2024 platform — current generation with a forward-looking socket/feature set.Solución: Buy for the workload, not the socket — upgrade paths are a bonus, not a guarantee.

Crítico
Check the balance
No second-hand part won on value — this plan shows new hardware even though used was allowed.Acción: Reconsider the config for the stated workload or budget before buying.balance
Crítico
Check the balance
Total (930€) exceeds your budget (500€) by 430€ (86%). Ranking already prefers in-budget variants — this one is shown for comparison; check the value variant or raise the budget.Acción: Reconsider the config for the stated workload or budget before buying.balance
Crítico
Check the balance
This build may struggle with the stated workload.Acción: Reconsider the config for the stated workload or budget before buying.balance
Crítico
No storage redundancy
2 drive(s) with no mirror or parity for the data you plan to store.Acción: Add at least a mirror for irreplaceable data before you migrate anything.storage
Crítico
CPU close to the limit
The workload uses 100% of the CPU — little headroom for background tasks or growth.Acción: Consider a stronger CPU or drop a secondary workload.compute
Optimización
Use NAS-rated drives
Desktop drives in an always-on NAS/server role have higher long-run failure rates.Acción: Prefer NAS/CMR-rated drives for 24/7 duty.storage
Opcional
Add a UPS
An always-on server holding data should survive power blips.Acción: Add a line-interactive UPS sized for the build's peak draw (≥ 10 min at typical load for a clean shutdown).power
Opcional
Keep a backup off-box
Redundancy inside the box does not survive fire, theft or a whole-array fault.Acción: Mirror the important data to an external drive, a second box, or cloud.storage
Futuro
RAM expansion available
2 RAM slot(s) free for a later upgrade.Acción: Leave them free until the workload actually grows.memory
Futuro
Drive bays remain
1 drive bay(s) free for future capacity.Acción: Expand capacity in pairs (mirror/parity) when needed.storage
Futuro
PCIe slot available
3 free PCIe slot(s) for a NIC, HBA or GPU later.Acción: Use it for a 10G NIC, extra HBA, or an accelerator when the need appears.expansion
Qué se convierte en el límite
CPU is the next bottleneck is the most likely thing to date this build within 1-2y.
1-2y
CPU is the next bottleneck
Por qué: The CPU runs at 100% of capacity — new services or more users will hit the wall first.Qué hacer: Consider a stronger CPU within the same socket generation while it is still cheap.
3-5y
Storage growing
Por qué: 71% of capacity in use — comfortable today, tighter over a few years.Qué hacer: Plan the growth curve; keep at least one bay free for the next drive.
