Im planning on building on building a windows server.

Owned hardware:

i3 3220

Some asus mother board

8GB of ram

Fractal Define R4 no sidepanel

 

So I need a raid controller. Drives. PSU. 

And anything else that maybe needed

  

So can you guys give me recommendations on the hardware I should purchase.

Planning On raid 5 so 3x 1tb red maybe. Your recommendations please and thank you.

Looks good. If you don't particularly need blazing speeds, you could probably just use onboard raid from the mobo.
