I'm planning this build for a year now and I reached the point where I'd like to start buying it's parts (except the HDDs) and testing it, poking around with FreeNAS. I read a few threads here, but still not 100% sure this is the best for my needs and budget. So please tell me if I chose something bad.
2*ADATA DashDrive UV150 16GB USB 3.0 //for FreeNAS
1*SUPERMICRO X10SLM-F //The only "cheap" Supermicro Motherboard with ECC and LGA1150 that's available here.
//(Buying server motherboards in my country is nearly impossible or costs a fortune.)
1*(INTEL Pentium G3250 3.20GHz //other candidate: INTEL Celeron G1840 2.80GHz (both LGA1150)) (Pentium was ordered.)
//I plan to use my i7-4770k's stock cooler for the CPU.
2*CRUCIAL 8GB DDR3 1600MHz CL11 ECC CT102472BB160B //this looked good to me and is very cheap
1*EVGA Power Supply 430W //I plan to add a new pool a few years later with extra RAM (~12-14 HDDs tops at it's final form with ~16-32 Gb RAM)
1*NZXT Source 210 //Big and seems well built and it's also very cheap
Later: (~January or when I get the money for it.)
6*WD Green 3/4Tb or 6*WD Red 3/4Tb drives (a matter of my budget at the point of purchase)
{Even later: (~2016 summer or 2017 summer)
6-8*WD Red 4-6Tb drives
2*8Gb ECC RAM
Might turn out to be a different build entirely, but I'd like have the opportunity to make it happen in this build too.}
I plan to put all 6 drives into RAIDZ2 and share it via NFS (read, write)(LAN access only), FTP (read, write)(this would be accessible from anywhere), CIFS (read)(LAN access only). I want to use NFS as I mainly use Linux and that would be extremely comfortable and easy to manage. I'm unsure about CIFS as I only play games on Windows, so it's not necessary, but it would be handy to have access to my Music and only store them once. I want to share my files through FTP, because this way when I'm away I'll still have access to my files and if I'd get a file (pictures, source code, etc) from someone, I could archive it instantly.
I don't plan to use any plugin or feature like deduplication.
My questions:
Is there any bad / wrong hardware choices I made?
Would the Celeron CPU be enough? //No.
Thank's for the help:

Update1: Order is placed, a few days and I'll go and get them :)
Update2: I could change the 2 CT102472BB160B to 2 CT102472BA160B (sadly CT102472BD160B-s are unavailable here for reasonable prices) and run memtest on them for ~20 hours without any problem, set the BIOS to what I want, set my router to give the same IP for it's ports and could finally test IPMI and CPU temps under load and so on and started on getting 6 3Tb WD Red drives.
