Hi everyone,
I have a lot of experience building PC, but not servers. Currently I have a QNAP NAS running 2x SSD and the performance is quite slow. I am thinking of building a FreeNAS system. Currently I have this motherboard -
https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/P9X79_WS/specifications/
From the spec I see that it supports ECC memory but only un-buffered memory (not sure what is the difference). Will any of these ECC memory work? If not, could someone recommend some memory from eBay (I am not very good at reading QVL)?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hynix-64GB-...280904?hash=item58ecd197c8:g:qMsAAOSw241YbXpD
CPU: LGA2011 i7 Xeon E5-2670 or E5-2680 (I have x2 of both)
Video Card: EVGA GT 710 or another low power GPU (I have quite a few)
PSU: EVGA G2 850 or Corsair RMx 850 (I have both and several other PSUs)
Case: Depends on the motherboard. I have Fractal Design R4/R5, Corsair 750D, etc. Need something that fits.
Drives: WD NAS Red Drives but have not decided on capacity yet
If the above motherboard does not work, I can get an ASRock from Newegg but I would really prefer to use it as I have 3x of them. I prefer the ASrock as it has 3-year warranty compared to SuperMicro, but let me know if SuperMicro has better boards. I don't think I need Dual CPU boards but I do have x2 of either the CPUs above.

Please help. Thanks in advance.
