BUILD First time build advice.

I have been experimenting with FreeNAS on an old ass Gateaway pc that has its RAM maxed out at 4gb. There is only so much I can do with it.

Before I place any orders I want to know from the experts if this low cost embedded cpu/mobo will be adequate for a file/backup/Plex server?

BIOSTAR NM70I-1037U Intel Celeron 1037U Dual-Core 1.8GHz Intel NM70 Mini ITX Motherboard/CPU/VGA Combo

8gb RAM
2x 3tb NAS HDD

(hopefully) Later upgraded to:
16gb RAM
4x 3tb NAS HDD

Not a chance I'd use that board.

Audio = extra stuff that can cause problems
NIC = Realtek(or RealCrap)
CPU/motherboard = Doesn't support ECC
Also that CPU may not be able to handle CIFS. I don't know.

Bad choice though.

Wow.
Thanks.

This old Gateway must be even worse than I thought.
