Based on your goals you need roughly 8 CPU threads, 32GB RAM and 16TB of storage with dedicated GPU capability. This system runs 24/7, so energy matters. Recommended: the Value build — most for your money — 1165€ purchase, ~31W idle, ~134€/year energy (≈403€ over 3 years). AMD Ryzen 5 5500: 12 threads covers the 8 needed with headroom. Motherboard AMD B550 (AM4): matches the CPU socket and case size. RAM: 32GB DDR4 — meets the 32GB the workload requires. XFX Speedster SWFT 210 AMD Radeon™ RX 6650 XT Core Gaming Graphics Card with 8GB GDDR6, AMD RDNA™ 2: 8GB VRAM selected for your dedicated GPU need. Chose AMD Ryzen 5 5500 over Intel Core i3 13100T OEM/Tray: better overall fit for your priorities. Build DNA: performance 90, value 89, efficiency 77, expandability 84, silence 95, longevity 94 — overall 88/100. Heads-up: Total (1165€) exceeds your budget (900€). This build may struggle with the stated workload. What limits you first: RAM. Alternatives: Smart build — best all-round — 1531€, DNA 93/100, underpowered · Long-term build — expandable & future-proof — 1751€, DNA 94/100, underpowered · Silent build — acoustics first — 1395€, DNA 93/100, underpowered.

Dividimos o teu build no desempenho de que precisas, o que compras e o que provavelmente usarás no dia a dia. Quando a diferença é grande, estás a comprar demais.

O que significa
Uma pontuação de prova de futuro explicável, o Homelab Risk Score, uma auditoria final antes de comprar e o que se tornará o fator limitante ao longo do tempo.
Prova de futuro equilibrada
Balanced future-proofing (63/100) — it covers today's workload with some room, but one or two factors will push you to upgrade sooner.
DIY build — the CPU, motherboard and PSU can each be upgraded independently without replacing the whole system.
Expansion headroom: 1 PCIe slot(s), 3 M.2, 3 SATA, 0 drive bay(s), 0 RAM slot(s) free.
Storage is 94% utilized with 0 free drive bay(s) and 3 free SATA port(s).
0 RAM slot(s) free; memory is 100% utilized.
Networking is 1000 Mbps, and a free PCIe slot can add a faster NIC later.
ATX form factor with standard, socketed components — most parts are easy to replace.
A 8GB GPU is present — AI and transcoding workloads are covered.
Risco moderado
Moderate risk (49/100) — a few items are worth fixing before you commit (see checklist).
Single point of failure
Risco: highStorage has no redundancy (2 drives, no mirror/parity) — a single drive failure exposes the array.
Solução: Add at least a mirror (RAID 1/ZFS mirror) for irreplaceable data, or an additional parity drive for larger arrays.
Storage risk
Risco: medium1 desktop hard drive(s) — not rated for 24/7 duty, vibration or heat; higher long-run failure risk.
Solução: For an always-on system, prefer NAS/CMR-rated drives; monitor SMART and replace before the warranty ends.
Data loss risk
Risco: critical2 drive(s), no redundancy, hard-drive media — the worst combination for keeping data safe.
Solução: Add redundancy and an off-site/off-box backup for anything irreplaceable.
Power risk
Risco: lowPSU is 600W, peak load 100W (17%).
Solução: PSU sizing leaves healthy headroom for spikes and future parts.
Network risk
Risco: criticalThe workload wants 2500 Mbps but the config only provides 1000 Mbps.
Solução: Add a 2.5G NIC or upgrade the platform.
Expansion risk
Risco: low1 PCIe, 3 M.2, 3 SATA, 0 bays free.
Solução: Healthy room for future drives, NICs and accelerators.
Upgrade risk
Risco: low2022 platform — current generation with a forward-looking socket/feature set.
Solução: Buy for the workload, not the socket — upgrade paths are a bonus, not a guarantee.
Audit found 4 critical and 0 warning item(s) worth fixing before you buy.

No storage redundancy
Crítico2 drive(s) with no mirror or parity for the data you plan to store.
Ação: Add at least a mirror for irreplaceable data before you migrate anything.
Categoria: storage
RAM is nearly exhausted
CríticoThe workload needs 100% of available RAM — swapping will hurt.
Ação: Add more RAM now, while slots are still free.
Categoria: memory
Use NAS-rated drives
OtimizaçãoDesktop drives in an always-on NAS/server role have higher long-run failure rates.
Ação: Prefer NAS/CMR-rated drives for 24/7 duty.
Categoria: storage
Plan faster networking
Otimização1G networking is fine today but will bottleneck multi-user media or big NAS transfers at 16TB.
Ação: Budget for a 2.5G/10G NIC and switch later, or spec it now.
Categoria: network
Add a UPS
OpcionalAn always-on server holding data should survive power blips.
Ação: Add an online/line-interactive UPS sized to the build's idle draw.
Categoria: power
Keep a backup off-box
OpcionalRedundancy inside the box does not survive fire, theft or a whole-array fault.
Ação: Mirror the important data to an external drive, a second box, or cloud.
Categoria: storage
PCIe slot available
Futuro1 free PCIe slot(s) for a NIC, HBA or GPU later.
Ação: Use it for a 10G NIC, extra HBA, or an accelerator when the need appears.
Categoria: expansion
RAM is maxed out is the most likely thing to date this build within 1-2y.
RAM is maxed out
Porquê: All RAM slots are used and the workload already sits at 100% — the next memory need means replacing kits or a new build.
O que fazer: Buy a single larger kit now, or plan the RAM for the full lifecycle.
Storage nearly full
Porquê: 94% of raw capacity is already in use — media libraries and backups grow fast.
O que fazer: Expanding is easy: add a drive to the free bays/ports.
1G networking becomes the ceiling
Porquê: A 1000 Mbps link will cap NAS transfers and multi-user media before the CPU or disks do.
O que fazer: Add a 2.5G/10G NIC when the switch investment makes sense.
RAM is the closest to its limit (100% of capacity in use) — it will likely force the next upgrade.
