Hi everybody!
I want to move my selfhosted services from a VPS to a PC in my house.
I have an E5-2620 and a it-6700K, which one would you pick and why?
The E5 already has 2 PCI-X each with 4 NIC (that I need to use with OpnSense to share my Internet connection with my neighbor) that I would need to throw away and buy as PCIe for the i7.
Thanks!

    Oh thanks I must have missed that in the title.

    The xeon does have more cache too. So if the GPU acceleration is the make or break it option. You could toss a card in there.

      What kind of a card do you think that could do the job? There will be 2 maximum 3 people watching Jellyfin.

        I haven’t tried setting up jellyfin myself. However, if you’re able to use pcie passthrough on your container, you could probably use any spare card you might have? (assuming it fits and your psu can handle it)
