Building a new server

[NME]

Hi guys,
I'm building a new server and I have a few questions.
The server config looks like this:
Mb.(2 options):
Supermicro X9DRH-7TF or the new Supermicro X9DR7-TF+

Proc.:
2 X Intel Xeon E5-2630(BOX)

Mem.(4 options):
KVR16R11D4/8HC / KVR16R11D4/8 / KVR1333D3D4R9S/8G / KVR1333D3Q8R9S/8G

Chassis(4 options):
Supermicro 825TQ-R740LPB
Supermicro 826BA-R920LPB
Barebone : SuperServer 6027R-72RFT: chassis: 825TQ-R740LPB + mb: X9DRH-7TF
Barebone : SuperServer 6027R-72RFT+: chassis: 825TQ-R740LPB + mb: X9DR7-TF+

So my questions are:
1. What to choose from those two motherboards?
2. The Intel Xeon E5-2630(in retail, Box version) comes with heatsink+fan ? If not what are my options? Go with Supermicro Passive HeatSink or some active cooling?
3. In the memory area: I see on Intel's site that E5-2630 only supports DDR3-800/1066/1333. It is ok to go with DDR3-1600 CL11 instead of DDR-1333 CL9? Also what is the difference between this four memory modules(besides that two are 1600 and two are 1333)? What do you recommend ?
4. What to choose from chassis above? Server barebones worth about 300$ more just because they come together from Supermicro(chassis+mb) ? I saw in a Supermicro barebone manual(6027R-72RFT) something like this: "In addition to the serverboard and chassis, various hardware components have been included with the 6027R-72RF/6027R-72RFT, as listed below:
•Two passive CPU heatsinks (SNK-P0048PS)
•Three 8-cm system fans (FAN-0126L4)
•One air shroud (MCP-310-29001-0N)
•SAS/SATA Accessories One SAS/SATA backplane (BPN-SAS-825TQ) Two 27-cm. iPass to SATA cables (CBL-0176L-02) Eight drive carriers (MCP-220-00092-0B)". This are the extra i'm getting paying ~300$ more ?

I hope you guys can help me with this.
P.S. Sorry for my bad english.

1. What to choose from those two motherboards?

Supermicro part number 7 denotes SAS, T for 10G NIC & + for extra DIMM slots so I would go with X9DR7-TF+ since DIMM slot is the major difference between the 2.

2. The Intel Xeon E5-2630(in retail, Box version) comes with heatsink+fan ? No. You only get the CPU in a box.

If not what are my options? Go with Supermicro Passive HeatSink or some active cooling?

Supermicro only recommends passive but I use active all the time when I build servers. Notice that X9DRH-7TF has norrow socket and X9DR7-TF+ has square sockets so do get the correct ones.

3. In the memory area: I see on Intel's site that E5-2630 only supports DDR3-800/1066/1333. It is ok to go with DDR3-1600 CL11 instead of DDR-1333 CL9?

Memory will be dependent on the CPU and 1600Mhz DIMMs are supported starting eight core E5s (E5-2650). I would stick with 1333Mhz with CL9 if you don't think you will be upgrading the CPUs to Octa cores otherwise 1600Mhz CL11.

Also what is the difference between this four memory modules(besides that two are 1600 and two are 1333)? What do you recommend ?

These boards are not picky at all so any DDR3 ECC Registered will do and I've integrated hundreds with both Hynix & Samsung without any issues but any will do, really.

4. What to choose from chassis above? Server barebones worth about 300$ more just because they come together from Supermicro(chassis+mb) ? I saw in a Supermicro barebone manual(6027R-72RFT) something like this: "In addition to the serverboard and chassis, various hardware components have been included with the 6027R-72RF/6027R-72RFT, as listed below:

•Three 8-cm system fans (FAN-0126L4)
•One air shroud (MCP-310-29001-0N)
•SAS/SATA Accessories One SAS/SATA backplane (BPN-SAS-825TQ) Two 27-cm. iPass to SATA cables (CBL-0176L-02) Eight drive carriers (MCP-220-00092-0B)". This are the extra i'm getting paying ~300$ more ?

The major difference with the barebone / Superserver is that you do get a direct tech support with Supermicro 24/7 and a couple of heat sinks and that's it. I've never had to call Supermicro for any support and these MB & cases are pretty straight forward so save the money by just buying the MB, chassis & heat sink separately and use the extra money to upgrade to more RAMs.

You can PM me if you need any advice or get into trouble

Doesn't the barebones come with a power supply? That could be a good percentage of the extra $300.

The chassis also comes with a power supply.
