Building a pretty generic box using what seem to be reliable parts (from what I've seen on this forum), I'm getting ready to actually buy parts after a few months of procrastinating, have a few questions. Hardware currently is:
Intel Celeron G530 2.4
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116409
Foxconn H67S LGA 1155
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813186211
(2 x 8GB) Mushkin 16GB DDR3 1333
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820226261
M1015

Lian Li PCQ25

7 x Seagate Barracuda ST3000DM001
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148844
Antec EarthWatts Green EA-380D (380W)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371033
I'll be running RAIDZ2 off of a little 4GB (or 8GB?) thumb drive.
The box will be used primarily for dumping large files - I'll be bringing in (roughly) 150GB of large video files per week up to about 8TB, then much more infrequently than that. No torrents or anything hitting the drives constantly off the bat. Sometime later, when I recuperate from this purchase, I'll be building 2 HTCPs that will stream videos, sometimes concurrently. So for my first use case, I think my little 2.4 GHz Celeron will do alright - I'm really worried more about the second one. Do I need to step up the CPU a bit?
What about the PSU? Am I going to be able to get away with 380W, under load from the 2 HTCPs?
For the cases I described, there is zero point in getting an SSD for caching right? I do have one remaining physical slot for a 2.5 drive, which I could stick an SSD in.
Is there anything I'm forgetting / glaringly wrong with this build?
