Some Questions about building my Own Nas

[felix920506]

Building My own Nas but can't decide what components to use
Already Decided:
2 6TB Nas Drives in RAID 1

8GB of DDR2-800 Non ECC

This box is for Purely Storing Files
Will Be accessed from Windows MacOS Linux iOS Android

None of those PSUs.

What motherboard are you using? Do you already have a motherboard or are you looking to buy?

OS (Only have 8GB of ram but I have 12TB of Storage for this box)

2 6TB Nas Drives in RAID 1

2x6TB drives in RAID1 will give you 6TB of storage, not 12TB.

I have a ASUS M4A785D-M Pro and a Gigabyte GA-M61PME-S2P
If None of those PSUs what should I use?

GA-M61PME-S2P
2 x SATA 3Gb/s connectors supporting up to 2 SATA 3Gb/s devices

M4A785D-M PRO
5 xSATA 3 Gb/s ports Support RAID 0,1,10,JBOD

 

Well, it's a clear winner for the M4A785D-M Pro in my books.
As for the CPU, whichever has the most cores and lowest power usage that is compatible with the motherboard (I really don't know any of the old, low end AMD CPUs, maybe someone else can help you out there)

All CPUs are compatible with my Motherboards
Both the Athlon II X4 640 and the Phenom X4 9550 are Quad core CPUs with a 95w TDP
