and as far as I can tell it does run checksums and things that u RAID doesn’t but do I need to them them manually or? Like how does it work ?
That's what ZFS does when it does a "scrub". Just set it to do that periodically and it will be fine.

do I need to look into an i5-13400 or can I run it with an i3-13100?
Any modern processor will be way overkill for a home NAS. (As we've told you a number of times. )

When it comes to ZFS, more RAM = more better.

"Cache" SSDs don't make a big difference on ZFS in a home NAS application.
Instead, I recommend using an SSD for your Plex database. It will make the client interfaces feel a lot more responsive than if Plex has to hit the spinning drive array for all the thumbnails and show metadata.
