Budget (including currency): something along the lines of 1000-1500$ (i might be able to salvage some parts from another PC)

Country: Bulgaria

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: It will be mainly used for storage of my photos. As a photographer I tend to have 20-30 GB of data to store after a shoot. In my current setup I am using a RPI 3 with an external HDD, but it is getting very limiting. I am also using it for a Plex Server and organize a few movies and shows. With a proper machine I plan to use it sometimes to run a VM or two. Maybe setup a Pi Hole server or some project like that. I need some kind of redundancy which would prevent me from loosing all my photos (I don't really care about the tv shows or movies). I also read that RAID arrays are not very good for SSDs, initially I was planning on using SSDs as the prices have become very affordable and the read longevity is better than a HDD. I would really appreciate some suggestions on which way to go, any problems which might be a deal breaker or something probably not many people know.
