First time builder, have read the recommended hardware guide and came up with the following build. This is for a home use NAS designed for a couple of simultaneous Plex transcodes, plus storage duty in an occasional photo/video editing environment. Some of the choices are influence by what I've been able to find used online.

CPU: Intel Xeon E5-1620 V4 CPU
MB: X10SRL-F
RAM: Samsung DDR4 16G ECC 2400 RDIMM (1 stick)
HBA: Dell H310
PS: Corsair AX650
Boot: Kingston DataTraveler 8GB
10gbe: Chelsio T520-CR (x2, one each on NAS and workstation, direct connection)
HDs: WD Red 3TB x 3, 4TB x 2 (what I have on hand, enough to start with)

Before I order the parts, have I missed anything? Thanks!

Looks like a good selection of parts. With that odd assortment of drives just make sure you understand how vdev's and pools work and plan your storage setup accordingly.

Seems like overkill, a Xeon E3-1240 v6 with an X11SSM-F sounds like a better choice to me. Or the X11 board with built-in 10GbE, whatever its model number is. X11SSH-CTF?
