What is the best £300-400 storage server motherboard and cpu combo

[VivashTech]

I am building a storage server soon to hold about 40TB of storage, I need ecc ram and would like it to be a good dedicated storage server. Also if you have any advice on RAID controllers that are 8 ports then that would be great, the hard drives i am using are the iron wolf pro 10tb drives with one extra for redundency. I am also looking to have an ssd cache but am still undecided whether to go m.2 and less storage capacity or pcie and less storage or the most storage but slower performance with sata interface (i know this is a rough description. There are more elements). If there are any good cheap rack mount server chassis that would also help.(2u-4u).

What were you planning on using it for?

Do you need ssd cache?

Well i'm a software engineer and i need somewhere to store my data on this server and need to have quick access. My end goal is to get 10gigabit speeds across the network and then slow nightly or quaterly0 backups to my other server.
