I am new to FreeNAS but i do have experience with FreeBSD.. i was wondering if this build would be able to handle my needs as a Plex media server to transcode 1080p on my devices.. also be my main data storage for my house. My main worry is the CPU and RAM, but this is my first build so what do i know, also is there anywhere to save money on this build or anything that should be improved for the future needs.
