The power supply is slghtly overkill imo, but i guess it could allow more room for future upgrades. The rest looks fine  :)

Nice parts. The nice thing about using the Corsair Ax 1200i over say an 860i is that it won't have to ramp up the fan most of the time, so it should run quite.  You are going to enjoy this build! the 900D is such a great case to work on. I'm still finding little features that you don't even notice until you start working on the case.  Looking forward to see your build come to life!

I think 4 HDDS are overkill imo.

Depends on how much storage you need I'd say. I have 12 TB usable (17 TB raw) in my server

and could easily fill up lots more of space. Ah well, some day... :D
