Optimizing My Server 2012 Environment

Optimizing My Server 2012 Environment:
I have a rack with 2 physical servers setup as Hyper-V Hosts and a third case that runs my Windows 10 Desktop. I'm about to add a Mac Daddy Intel server.
Anyway, for now, All are connected with NIC Teaming using 1GB NICs in all and all are part of a domain.
Host-1 has DC-1 , IIS website, ColdFusion, SQL and Owncloud (Most important for this thread).
Host-2 has DC-2 Plex Media server, media center and Security Cameras
All 3 have 3TB RAID 10.
The new (real) server will probably take over Owncloud and Plex with dual 10 Gbe and real RAID.
I would like to play around with clustering and would like some step by step help with the process.
And input on the overall optimization. Thanks!

Phillip. My lovely wife is thinking of getting me that board for Christmas. Can you do me the favor of assisting her with the decision?
Looking for the built-in raid, Lots of LAN ports, forward compatible processor, memory slots. (maybe even DDR4? but probably not practical.)

Sure. TechNet has a pretty good set of resources. José Baretto's blog is fantastic for step-by-steps.
