Home server / NAS build planning

Hello, I am planning to build a home server / NAS that will be used mainly as plex server, private webserver and maybe a gameserver someday. Budget should be lower than / around €850 if possible.

I live in Belgium, using pcpartpicker DE since that would be the most accurate when it comes to pricing. 

 

I already made some kind of list, but I feel like there are better options, mostly on the case and motherboard parts.

 


 
CPU: Intel Pentium G3258 3.2GHz Dual-Core Processor  (€73.89 @ Amazon Deutschland) 
CPU Cooler: be quiet! PURE ROCK 87.0 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler  (€34.04 @ Amazon Deutschland) 
Motherboard: ASRock H97M Anniversary Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard  (€76.89 @ Amazon Deutschland) 
Memory: Kingston HyperX Fury Blue 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory  (€51.78 @ Amazon Deutschland) 
Storage: A-Data Premier Pro SP900 64GB 2.5" Solid State Drive  (€49.89 @ Amazon Deutschland) 
Storage: A-Data Premier Pro SP900 64GB 2.5" Solid State Drive  (€49.89 @ Amazon Deutschland) 
Storage: Western Digital Red 4TB 3.5" 5900RPM Internal Hard Drive  (€178.49 @ Amazon Deutschland) 
Storage: Western Digital Red 4TB 3.5" 5900RPM Internal Hard Drive  (€178.49 @ Amazon Deutschland) 
Case: Fractal Design Node 804 MicroATX Mid Tower Case  (€110.99 @ Amazon Deutschland) 
Power Supply: Corsair Builder 430W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply  (€49.90 @ Caseking) 
Total: €854.25
 


The SSDs are used as boot drives (and to store plex metadata and webserver content on) in raid 1 for redundancy. I'm guessing 64 GB will be sufficient.

 

HDDs - I plan on using them in windows storage spaces (two-way mirror) with 2 other 2 TB seagate drives that are in my main system atm. Feel free to convince me to not use storage spaces, I don't see a reason not to after quite some research.

 

Motherboard should have at least 6 SATA ports (more is great), rest is not important.

 

The Case needs to be able to store at least 4 HDDs and 2 SSDs, look clean, be pretty quiet and shouldn't cost too much. It should also be reasonably small if possible... Just picked one now that seemed to fit this description but seems a bit expensive imo (I'm no expert, could be wrong). 

 

Can you guys have a look and tell me if you think there are better options?
Thanks!
