Hi,
I have been digging for a while now and feel like I am being blind here. I am planning a home server build in 2023, this will boot proxmox with a VM for TrueNAS, the high level requirements are:
My issue is there appear to be 2 routes I can go, Xeon E v2388g or Ryzen 7900. (there are some other options too i.e. AMD 5900X or something)
The former appears to be more expensive and comes in at half the cores
The latter is a consumer chip with more nuanced support for things like ECC memory
At this stage I cant seem to find any AM5 server motherboards, gigabyte appears to announce one, but I cant see it ever making it to sale
and other boards are unclear on their ECC support let alone on board management etc.
So, in summary, should I wait for AM5 server boards to be released? If I do is there any other strong benefits to the 2388g I am missing?
It seems most people go the Xeon route for their builds today, so I guess I am just hoping for a summary as to why (of they go completely consumer parts, no ECC etc.)
Thanks in advance.

- TrueNAS - ~100tB available data for media storage (anything up to and including 4k blu ray rips uncompressed)
- Plex Media Server (will add a GPU to the build for hardware encoding)
- Pi hole/Graphana etc. (other relatively lightweight tasks)
- Home assistant
- a Linux VM playground machine
- ability to scale to add more machines as and when I think of something useful or want to have a play
