Hi guys,
I am building a tiny Fileshare PC and I need some advice on CPU buying, please?
I have got most of my components and I have between £50 and £100 to spend on the CPU. Obvs I would like it to be as cheap as possible, but I understand that the OS I use will dictate the CPU I need, and I'm a bit lost with OS X Server 5 requirements.
So my max is a Skylake i3 at around £100
My minimum is a 3.3 dual core Pentium at £50
As this is essentially a NAS with Server 5, is there a massive difference between using 1151 over 1150? It doesn't need to be massively future-proof as it's essentially just storage
I know there are a lot of posts about this but some are way above the spec I need, some are a bit old and some don't use OS X Server 5. Unfortunately I am massively constrained in terms of price (I work for a charity) which of course effects a drop in spec.
Thank you very much for all your help,

OSX Server 5 Hackintosh (not allowed Linux so no Ubs or Mint, and I guess S5 is better than a desktop like Yosemite)
Mini ITX - either sock 1150 or 1151
8GB RAM
4TB drive (partitioned to 50GB OS, 100GB recovery and the rest data)
Connected to 10Gbs network in the office (no outside traffic all local)
Simply for sharing files and backups - no media playing, graphics, sound etc.
Max concurrent connections 10
