I have been using Freenas since 2014 and really enjoy it. I am looking to build a new system and have looked at a number of different builds. I can't decide what the best would be so looking for some help. I would like something that is mainly used as a Plex server but will also store other files. My current system is running a supermicro x10sae with a Intel Xeon e3 3.4ghz. It has 8 6tb drives and runs fairly well. I am looking to build something similar. I am mainly looking for help with everything but hard drives as I will not get them all at once but will add as needed. One thing I like about the x10sae is the capability of 8 drives. I am working about a 1k budget give or take a $100.
So short story looking for help on a new build

Power Supply
Processor

I appreciate any suggestions and look forward to what everyone has to offer. Thank you.

- 8 or more capability
- Mainly used as a Plex server with some 4k content
- Will add hard drives as needed so they don't need to be factored into price
