Hey everyone! I've spent some time putting together a parts list for my home NAS after binge-watching PC-building videos, but I've never actually built one before. I'd really appreciate it if you could take a look at my parts list to see if there's anything I need to improve or change. Thanks a lot!

Remember to consider your RAM as well; for a NAS, 32 GB is good, but make sure it's compatible with TrueNAS if you decide to go that route!
What OS are you planning to use for your NAS? You might want to consider adding one or two small SSDs for boot drives unless you're going with something like UnRAID, which can boot from a USB device. That could help with performance!
You might want to check out the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X. It's usually priced lower than the 7600X, and if you're planning to run Windows or games, an NVMe SSD would be a great addition.
YES. Thank you so much. I totally forgot about that. I'll most likely be running TrueNAS, so I’ll add an SSD to my list.
