Ohh didn't notice the registered RAM. Imo normal DDR3 and a ~$60 mobo would suit you better price-wise but you do you

It only has 2 SATA ports, so I would go for the one I linked (4 SATA ports) for further upgrading.

Perhaps look into unraid but with a cheaper mobo/RAM combo (asrock Anniversary z97 or sth like that), so you could expand later
