Looks like that board will support what you need. I personally haven't used ASRock much but they do offer some budget options that other manufacturers don't.
The i3-6300 and i3-7300 both look like they support ECC, but they're dual core in those series as opposed to the i3-8100 which is quad core. If you want to bump up to a quad core, you can look around for a Xeon E3-12XXv5 or E3-12XXv6. They're getting to the age that you may be able to find one used for a decent price. Just keep in mind that if you want onboard graphics, you need to get one that ends in a 5 (eg. E3-1225v5 or E3-1245v6). Clockspeed on any of the options will be plenty, but the extra cores could be useful.

The Seagate IronWolf drives will be fine. I'm not used to pricing in pounds, but comparing to the Barracuda equivalents the pricing on those looks pretty good.
