Based on your goals you need roughly 8 CPU threads, 62GB RAM and 4TB of storage. This system runs 24/7, so energy matters. Recommended: the Value build — most for your money — 625€ purchase, ~40W idle, ~132€/year energy (≈396€ over 3 years). Intel Core i3 14100F: 8 threads covers the 8 needed with headroom. Motherboard Intel B760 (LGA 1700): matches the CPU socket and case size. RAM: 64GB DDR4 — meets the 62GB the workload requires. Chose Intel Core i3 14100F over Intel Core i3 13100T OEM/Tray: better overall fit for your priorities. Build DNA: performance 70, value 99, efficiency 68, expandability 89, silence 73, longevity 95 — overall 88/100. Heads-up: This build may struggle with the stated workload. What limits you first: CPU. Alternatives: Smart build — best all-round — 1477€, DNA 91/100, balanced · Long-term build — expandable & future-proof — 1477€, DNA 91/100, balanced.

Nous répartissons ton build entre la performance dont tu as besoin, celle que tu achètes et celle que tu utiliseras probablement au quotidien. Quand l'écart est grand, tu achètes trop.
The build is tight on resources for the stated workload — it may struggle under load.

Ce que cela signifie
Un score de pérennité explicable, le score de risque homelab, un audit final avant achat et ce qui deviendra le facteur limitant au fil du temps.
Pérennité équilibrée
Balanced future-proofing (69/100) — 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: 2 PCIe slot(s), 1 M.2, 4 SATA, 1 drive bay(s), 0 RAM slot(s) free.
Storage is 50% utilized with 1 free drive bay(s) and 4 free SATA port(s).
0 RAM slot(s) free; memory is 98% utilized.
Networking is 2500 Mbps, and a free PCIe slot can add a faster NIC later.
MATX form factor with standard, socketed components — most parts are easy to replace.
No GPU, but there is room (2 PCIe slot(s), PSU headroom 13.4x) to add one for AI/transcoding.
Risque modéré
Moderate risk (37/100) — a few items are worth fixing before you commit (see checklist).
Single point of failure
Risque: criticalAll data sits on a single drive with no redundancy — one failure means total loss.
Solution: Add at least a mirror (RAID 1/ZFS mirror) for irreplaceable data, or an additional parity drive for larger arrays.
Storage risk
Risque: lowSolid-state storage — no moving parts, low mechanical failure risk.
Solution: For an always-on system, prefer NAS/CMR-rated drives; monitor SMART and replace before the warranty ends.
Data loss risk
Risque: high1 drive(s) with no redundancy — a single SSD/controller failure can still lose data.
Solution: Add redundancy and an off-site/off-box backup for anything irreplaceable.
Power risk
Risque: lowPSU is 1300W, peak load 97W (7%).
Solution: PSU sizing leaves healthy headroom for spikes and future parts.
Network risk
Risque: lowSingle 2500 Mbps NIC — a switch/port failure takes the box fully offline, and multi-user media can saturate 2500 Mbps.
Solution: Consider a second NIC or a managed switch; for heavy media, plan for 2.5/10G before the build.
Expansion risk
Risque: low2 PCIe, 1 M.2, 4 SATA, 1 bays free.
Solution: Healthy room for future drives, NICs and accelerators.
Upgrade risk
Risque: low2024 platform — current generation with a forward-looking socket/feature set.
Solution: 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.
Check the balance
CritiqueThis build may struggle with the stated workload.
Action: Reconsider the config for the stated workload or budget before buying.
Catégorie: balance
No storage redundancy
Critique1 drive(s) with no mirror or parity for the data you plan to store.
Action: Add at least a mirror for irreplaceable data before you migrate anything.
Catégorie: storage
CPU close to the limit
CritiqueThe workload uses 100% of the CPU — little headroom for background tasks or growth.
Action: Consider a stronger CPU or drop a secondary workload.
Catégorie: compute
RAM is nearly exhausted
CritiqueThe workload needs 98% of available RAM — swapping will hurt.
Action: Add more RAM now, while slots are still free.
Catégorie: memory
Add a UPS
OptionnelAn always-on server holding data should survive power blips.
Action: Add an online/line-interactive UPS sized to the build's idle draw.
Catégorie: power
Keep a backup off-box
OptionnelRedundancy inside the box does not survive fire, theft or a whole-array fault.
Action: Mirror the important data to an external drive, a second box, or cloud.
Catégorie: storage
Drive bays remain
Futur1 drive bay(s) free for future capacity.
Action: Expand capacity in pairs (mirror/parity) when needed.
Catégorie: storage
PCIe slot available
Futur2 free PCIe slot(s) for a NIC, HBA or GPU later.
Action: Use it for a 10G NIC, extra HBA, or an accelerator when the need appears.
Catégorie: expansion
RAM is maxed out is the most likely thing to date this build within 1-2y.
RAM is maxed out
Pourquoi: All RAM slots are used and the workload already sits at 98% — the next memory need means replacing kits or a new build.
Que faire: Buy a single larger kit now, or plan the RAM for the full lifecycle.
CPU is the next bottleneck
Pourquoi: The CPU runs at 100% of capacity — new services or more users will hit the wall first.
Que faire: Consider a stronger CPU within the same socket generation while it is still cheap.
Storage growing
Pourquoi: 50% of capacity in use — comfortable today, tighter over a few years.
Que faire: Plan the growth curve; keep at least one bay free for the next drive.
CPU is the closest to its limit (100% of capacity in use) — it will likely force the next upgrade.
