Hello all, new to the forum so please be gentle.

 

I was donated a Z220 CMT and a NVIDIA P4000 GPU that I'm going to convert into a gaming / entertainment hub.

Gaming wise, looking mainly to do some drone flight sim practice on rainy days etc. but will likely get more into gaming.

 

PSU:

I had to replace the blown PSU and used the standard 400w unit (619397-001).

I since found the Z420 uses the same 400w unit but has a 600w (632911-001) option available.

I'm aware the plug is 8 pin on the 600w and 6 pin on the 400w.

-Will I need more juice to run the NVIDIA P4000 graphics card?

-Will the 600w option for the Z420 fit the Z220?

-Is there an 8 pin to 6 pin adapter available?

 

CPU:

I think the best CPU to use will be the Intel Xeon processor E3-1245v2,

or the Intel Xeon processor E3-1225v2.

at the moment I have the Intel Pentium G640 processor (standard).

 

I have a WD My Cloud EX2 (2x10TB HDD) NAS for my movies, photos, docs etc. to and probably use PLEX.

-Should I set this to RAID configuration?

 

If any one has suggestions as to CPU, PSU, NAS, adapters etc. please feel free to advise.

Your help would be appreciated as I haven't built a system since the 80's

 

Thanks in advance, Cheers all.. NEMO.
