Hi all. I posted this on buildapc with no results. I was thinking I may have been in the wrong place.
TrueNas Scale build - Here is what I am planning on running on this box:
- Pihole
- Qbittorrent
- Radarr & Sonarr
- NextCloud for picture sync and storage.
- Calibre
- Plex
- Windows VM for MediaMonkey (unless there is a better option for an UPnP music server)
- UniFi controller (maybe)
Planning on running Raid-Z2 so I should end up with around 35TB of storage.
US build. The below is currently totaling >$2,300. $1,500 of which is HDD storage.
Why am I building this? Because I have a dying Windows box that need replaced. I am also trying to consolidate and add a few more functions while I am at it.

Am I over thinking the RAM and CPU. I know it will work but I am spending money poorly? What else, if anything, could I be overlooking?
-Cheers
Total overkill. I run the same services plus some more on $250 Dell R720. I spent additional $120 for 10 2TB 2.5" HDDs for storage and have 6 more bays for additional storage when I run out. I have less than $400 into my setup and still have room to expand.
