I am currently putting together a NAS build running FreeNAS and I’m looking for a sanity check/thoughts on my build so far. This is going to serve as storage for photography data. I'm constantly growing my data collection and thought this would be a fun project to build out a server and no longer have to worry about filling up external drives. My main workflow is going to be accessing data stored on the server via NFS for Lightroom and Photoshop. I don’t think this is going to demand any sort of crazy performance build.. So I did my best to build, what I think, is a solid machine for the money. My base right now is going to be 16TB, but the mobo that I chose has 6 sata slots, so will be easily expandable to 24TB if necessary. I’m open to suggestions and thoughts about this build and would appreciate any help I could get. I also posted this on reddit's r/freenas forum, so sorry for double dipping but just looking to get any help possible :)

I’m looking for something like this CPU … Doesn’t have to be exact. I just grabbed an example from ebay but not sure when I will pull the trigger on this purchase. My thoughts were a 5th, 6th or 7th gen 1151 i5 quad core for <= $150.
