Looking to build one that can support as much HDDs as possible, but also not too expensive :s13:

This is what I have found so far. Let me know if there is something better that I should use. Prices are from PC Themes.

ASRock Z87 Extreme4 with G3258 ($259)
- 8 x SATA3
- 1 x eSATA with port multiplier (need this for my ProBox 4 bay enclosure)

G.Skill 1600Mhz DDR3 8GB ($100)

XIGMATEK Asgard Pro with Thermaltake SE 530W Modular ($115)
- can hold 8 x 3.5" HDD

Looking to use on-board graphics for normal usage.
For storage, should have slots for 1 x 2.5" SSD and 8 x 3.5" HDDs in total.

I am also looking to buy one PCIe WiFi AC card. Anyone got any recommendation? TIA!


Let me know what you think ;)
