My first build, need som feedback

[Per Nissilä]

Hi!

I'm building my first Freenas box. I need feedback/suggestions about my build.

This is the parts i'm going to order:

Motherboard: X10SLL-F from here
CPU: Xeon E3-1220V3 from here
Case: Node 804 from here
PSU: be quiet! SFX Power 2 400W from here
RAM: Samsung 8GB DDR3L ECC 1600MHz 1.35V UDIMM from here (UPDATED!!!!)

So, what are your thoughts? :)

That RAM won't work. It's registered, you need unbuffered RAM. Check the Supermicro X10 RAM sticky for details and recommendations (link is in my sig).

I'd also get a better PSU, like a Seasonic G-360 or G-450 (assuming ~10 drives max).

The Node 804 is a great case. I've build two FreeNAS boxes both with 804s. I've been really happy with them.

I've updated the memory to Samsung 8GB DDR3L ECC 1600MHz 1.35V UDIMM from Supermicro's recommended-list
