This is my first home NAS build and I was looking to do it on the cheap, but not stupid. It will be used for backing up our home systems and Plex streaming, I've been wanting a place for high quality rips of our Blu-ray and DVDs for quite awhile. I plan to install ownCloud next and possibly run some VM's down the road. Capacity wise 8TB of usable storage would should suffice, but I've found a good deal on some 3TB drives and was looking at 6 in a RAIDZ2 config for 12TB.
Here's what I'm looking at:
The total price is a touch under $800 and I figure I can add more RAM later if needed for VM's or other things.
Any input is appreciated. Like I said, I'm looking for relatively inexpensive, but nothing stupid. I'd hoped to get the price down in the range of Brian Moses' DIY NAS: EconoNAS 2016, but some components have gone up in price. I really didn't want a Celery driving the thing and for an extra $70 I was able to increase storage by 50% opting for the 3TB drives.
While I've run ZFS at work before, I've never built my own NAS. I'm interested to know if everything looks reasonable, what if anything needs to be changed, whether I can do better at about the same price or if it is too good to be true.
Here's what I'm looking at:

- HPE 805671-B21 Compatible RAM from DMS DM618591 16GB DDR4-2133 2048x72 CL15 1.2v 288 Pin ECC UDIMM (x1)
- SanDisk Ultra Fix 16GB USB 3.0 Flash Drave SDCZ43-016G-G46 (x2) - Boot Device
- HGST Deskstar 5K300 HDS5C3030ALA630 (0F12446) (x6) - RAIDZ2 Pool
