This is my first time building a computer from scratch so please bear with me if I've made a mistake. And I looked through the unofficial hardware thread for ideas. Below is a system I was thinking about building for home use. I have two questions if someone could help me with. One, I'm not to sure on the power supply. I was trying to go with minimal power requirements to save energy, but it's not a deal breaker. Will the one I selected power the system efficiently or will it be under powered? My second question was about the PCIe dual gigabit nic card. I'm fairly certain I found a dual gigabit PCIe card that will work on the motherboard I have selected, I would appreciate if someone with a little more experience could double check my research?
I've already set up the Sophos UTM on a spare workstation and love it so far. Building a mini-ITX would be fun and look nicer where the cable modem sits. I appreciate and help/suggestions you may have.
