Building NAS AMD

[stanley16]

Budget (including currency): $600 plus cost of Case (Cheaper if possible)

Country: United States

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: UNRAID NAS primarily for photo and video backups and playback from family phones. Possibly jellyfin or plex down the road.

This will be my second PC build.

 

Looking at my build below, are there any obvious things I over looked, or areas to shave a little $$$?

For the storage I could easily get by with 2tb drives, but wasn't able to find anything cheaper than the 3TB ones I selected.

Would it be worth the extra $17 for the AMD Ryzen 5 4600G 3.7 GHz 6-Core Processor over the 3200G I currently have in my build list?

 

This is my current build on part picker:

What is that optane drive for? I'd probably skip the cache drive here, but If you want a cache drive its probably better to have a single 512GB Nand drives rather than optane for most uses here. 

 

I'd get fewer bigger drives. So probably start with 2x8/12/16TB drives and add more later on.

 

CPU should be more than plenty for nas use.

I based the optane drive off of one of the recent ltt nas builds:

LTT is using truenas here which does caching differently than unraid. I'd skip that drive here.

I appreciate the input, based on your recommendation I did some research and will skip it.

Any recommendations on cases?
