How feasible is my project ? (alien.top)

Hello family I am building a little homelab in my home with spare parts from my old PC. I currently have:

* I7 6700 (4c/8t)

* GT 1030

* H110m D (2 sata ports & 2 ram slots)

And I am going to buy:

* 1TB ssd

* 8gb ddr4

I am looking to do:

* Jellyfin

* NAS

* Virtualization

* 1 game server (Minecraft or Fivem)

This is a personal homelab so the workload won't be too much and it would be rare for more than two things to be happening at once. I am thinking of using OpenBSD as I want to learn to use it but if it becomes a hassle I turn to ol' reliable ubuntu

Sounds good, only thing is a Minecraft server will need more ram. I managed to get Minecraft (papermc iirc) on 4gb, but that ran terrible. I would say 6gb minimum and 8gb recommended if you play with more than one person and want to make a bigger world. Also keep in mind if the server is always running it will always consume this amount of ram if you assign the memory when starting the server iirc. And with that jellyfin also would like some ram, for me it uses a few gigs. But from what I see online it could work with less. Nas doesn't use that much if you don't do any crazy stuff.

I used to have 16 and that worked for Minecraft, jellyfin, and various other services at the same time. I now upgraded to 32 and arc eats all of it so non of it goes to waste ;)
