I just set mine up to be as close to RIF as possible. I love it so far.

Prowlarr is better than Jackett, especially for setting up Sonarr and Radarr.

Ah, maybe it’s started up again.

I prefer Prowlarr because the UI is just like Sonarr and Radarr and it can synchronize your indexers to Sonarr and Radarr

torrents-csv.ml is excellent. It’s a compiled database of other torrent sites that is pruned of unseeded torrents. It usually has what I need except for new releases, as they aren’t added immediately.

Side note: Jackett is nice but Prowlarr is better. Jackett development has stopped. Prowlarr is a little bit more feature rich and can automatically add indexers to Sonarr and Radarr.

Money isn’t too tight - I have a $250 Amazon credit right now to use on whatever.

I’d really prefer to upgrade the CPU because it’s already overclocked and still struggling. When I host a game like Space Engineers, I get massive lag spikes as it tries to keep up.

The CPU is just not enough for what I would like to do.

Yes, Plex transcoding is awful. Hardware transcodes aren’t possible on that build because I have nothing that supports it. The earliest QuickSync capable Intel chips are the 8000 series.

Thanks, I’ll keep that in mind.

Just double checked and the 13400 is 65W just like the 5600x, which has no iGPU. I know AM4 and DDR4 would greatly reduce the cost of this upgrade but I’d like this to last as long as possible for me.

I’d really like to utilize Intel QuickSync. Anything not capable of that is a deal breaker for me.
