Good build?

Joveice

Case: Corsair Obsidian 750D.

Motherboard: Asus Z10PE-D16/4L.

CPU: Xeon E5-2630 V4 (x1 later upgrade if needed to 2).

Hotswap bay: ICY BOX IB-545SSK 5Bay (if it fits the front).

RAM: Kingston DDR4 2133Mhz 8GB ECC/REG (2x).

Storage: Seagate Ironwolf 1TB 3.5" NAS (2x raid 1 for OS). Seagate Ironwolf 2TB 3.5" NAS (3x raid 5 for storage).

PSU: Corsair RM550x.

Cooling: Noctua NH-D15.

 

Is this a good build for a decent server for basic database, website and other small tasks?

I have the same case only do I have the 750d airflow edition I really like the airflow over the normal one so maybe that's a thing that you could consider?

They  don't sell it where I'm buying from but I'll note it down.

Any idea on OS? Freenas would like to have some more of that sweet ram. Filesystems other than ZFS don't pose any higher demands than you have atm. :P 

 

And this is probably more than decent for basic use. This could run probably 15 VM's of decent size (with additional RAM; CPU can handle the vm's no problem)

OS will be Linux, and most likley Ubuntu server

I would go a decent sized SSD for the boot drive or a flash drive depending on the os you are going to use. Most OS's that people use for a NAS are not bottlenecked by the speeds of even the most generic flash drive. This would lower your cost and also leave more room in the hot-swap bays for future expansion.
