Hi guys, first of all I have no idea what I'm doing! Now that confession is out of the way, I currently have a
fx8350
8gb of 1333hz RAM
Gigabyte UD5 motherboard
R9 290
120gb SSD
500gb HDD
675w PSU
Soon I will building a Ryzen 1600 and reusing the r9 290. With my exsisting fx8350 and motherboard I'm thinking about reusing it and use it as a server for Plex (never even used Plex but I like the idea) and possibly an Ark server for myself and a few friends that casually play. For a start I havnt got a clue what I'm doing in order to set it up, but I'll watch some videos and I'm confident In my ability to learn and do that, my issue is in the hardware it's self, I know the fx8350 is crap, but along with the 1333hz 8gb RAM how will it do as an Ark server? Am I right in saying the games performance will depend on the users PC's and not the server it's running off? Plex I'm sure it will handle without an issue.
Thanks for reading
