BUILD Home file server - low power - moderate cost

You guys are crazy. There is no way that with a FreeNAS, he will notice the slightest difference between a 3240 and a 3220.

Exactly my thoughts as well. http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Pentium-G3240-vs-Intel-Pentium-G3220

The performance difference is almost negligible. I know that for my usage scenario I already get plenty performance out of an E8400, so a G3220 will be more than enough. Might as well just take the safe road. No point in having a motherboard that I can't use.
