Help on NAS build

New to building NASes. I was wondering if I'm completely missing something. I plan on using FreeNAS with a ZFS-Z1 config (I'm not too worried about drives going kaput).

Yay PCPartPicker :D

I already have a case.

I am running a minecraft server which has a AMD A6-5400K inside.

(AMD A6-5400K 3.6GHz Dual-Core Processor (AD540KOKHJBOX) - PCPartPicker)

I don't know what you're going to run on this nas, but I think the ram and processor are both a little bit overkill.

I have an intel atom running in my own NAS and it's terribly slow but can still manage to download movies to my NAS or perform all other NAS related functions,

So unless you're going to run a game server or something else ram/processor intensive I recommend the AMD processor in combination with 8gb ram.

You can always add more ram when you feel like you don't have enough.
