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

Virtualizing an OS can take a lot of RAM, and virtualizing a Minecraft server can take 8GB by itself if you use any mods - I would definitely recommend 16 or 32. The other concern is your storage - for a NAS you ideally want a RAID or ZFS system. You'd need at least 2 drives for this (for whats' called "mirroring") to give you some data safety, though with ZFS you can have an arbitrary number of drives and create storage pools with arbitrary levels of redundancy (this may be more than you need though, and would require more RAM as well)
