Intel Xeon E5-2680v4 or AMD Epyc 7401P

So I am thinking of retiring my current unRAID hardware which is:

  • AMD Ryzen 7 1700x
  • 32GB (2x16GB) DDR-2133
  • ASRock AB350 Pro

I have some Supermicro servers I am thinking of selling but may take a CPU out of one and pair with a motherboard, or I was looking into building an AMD Epyc system. Not really sure which is the way to go. It’s going to be overkill no matter what I build, lol.

I am torn on using the hardware I have from my Supermicro servers as I know I can get more for them if I keep all the hardware in them. Any thoughts?

Option 1:

Option 2:

Whats prompting the retirement of the 1700x?
