[UPDATE] RPi Alternatives for Self-hosting

Hello everyone, I posted a couple of days asking for some advice on alternatives to RPi’s for self-hosting.

I guess I got VERY lucky and managed to buy the following setup from a surplus website for cheap (~$300). Here is the setup:

MOBO:

MSI B550 Gaming Plus

CPU:

AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 4th Gen (8-Core, 16-Threads, unlocked)

GPU:

NVIDIA GeoForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB GDDR6

RAM:

24GB (weird number but okay). They are all Corsair brand, not sure about the bandwidth and timing on them, haven’t had the chance to play around with them yet.

Storage:

512GB Samsung SSD

PSU:

650W (again, haven’t gotten to dig into the gritty-nitty details)

So far, on my random RPi’s, I have PiHole+Unbound, Homebridge, Wireguard server (will probably keep those three on a dedicated RPi), SearXNG, Paperless-NGX, Lemmy (duh), Nextcloud, Uptime Kuma, Plex (+Debrid) Server, Jackett, and a couple of other services I can’t really recall of the top of my head.

What and how would you recommend I set up my newest acquisition to host my services? Any specific OS to run to best handle all of this efficiently and with ease? It already came with Windows 10 pre-installed (and I’d like to keep it because my Ph.D. research uses many programs only available on Windows, SMH)
