I don‘t know if this is the right place to ask, but is this an OK build for a first start in selfhosting? Is there anything obvious I could improve? I‘d mainly run Nextcloud, Immich, some Docker containers and smaller web applications and cronjobs.

Follow up question: Do I need a separate CPU cooler, or is the boxed Wraith enough? And how loud is it? I can't really find info on that.

Wraith is fine. I have mine installed and it's dead quiet. If you don't like the noise, you can always get a 15-25$ USD aftermarket cooler, brands like ThermalRight and Cooler Master come to mind.

So long as you're using the spinning rust hdds, the noise of the CPU cooler won't make much difference. Mind you, this PC will be a bit too loud for the living room like this.
