Hey guys ive been reading up on FreeNAS for the past month reading on the consumer boards vs server boards and the ecc ram vs non ecc ram debates. So this is my question on a built i will order ASAP when i get all the parts i need. My birthday is sep 8 so its a sort of self birthday gift/learning experience/media server.
I was looking up on these parts and see what you guys recommend since im a complete scrub on working with servers. The first list was a consumer build with amd parts since i wanted multiple cores (8 cores) for a FreeNAS + plex media server with at least 6-8 streams running at the same time (side note ive built gaming computers and helped people upgrade and fix computers so i have experience with computers and going for an Associates of applied science in information security in college).
This will be used to stream movies and music with plex media server and to backup some random files.
I currently have the power supply, the chassis, and the usb stick. Will also need help on a PSU since i got no experience on them.
For the ECC RAM and SERVER grade parts build this is what i have right now lol since i got no experience with server parts need help.

Need help picking out the ECC RAM (i wanna start with 16GB then upgrade to 32GB later) and CPU for the server build and what you guys recommend i get. I am gonna fill up the chassis up in the future so from the looks of it i can go with 6 hard drives in RaidZ2 twice in 2 VDEV's in a single ZPOOL and a single 3 Drive in RaidZ1 in a separate ZPOOL and be used for backup of random files and such and get a single 1 slot sata card to fill up the last slot in my chassis to 15 drives can i do that? have 2 drives in the motherboard and the third one in the sata card and run it in a raid? How much i care about my data on a scale of 1 to 10 is a 6. Pretty much all this i can recover but will take time to build up my data back if a crash happens and lose my ZPOOL but i would like that not to happen.
P.S. Thanks for reading my wall of text and help :p
Update: Removed consumer built and I got the RAM picked out (is it compatible?). Is there any 8 core CPU's that will work with the motherboard or a CPU that can support 6-8 streams in plex? Would the Xeon E3-1230v2, Intel Xeon E3-1230V3 or the Intel E3-1231 v3 work?
Update 2: Going with the E3-1246 v3 with the motherboard i get a combo discount.
P.S. thx Knowltey and ALFA for being nice and helpful.
