Please rate/fix my first home server build? (alien.top)

Hi everyone, this is my first time trying to make a build for a home server/NAS, can you please rate and fix wherever possible as I am sure I've probably made a mistake somewhere.

Any help would be appreciated.

Note: all prices are in CAD

some notes regarding my build

1-I went with 12th gen 12600 for the IGP 770 as I've heard It's got quite a big jump from its predecessor when it comes to streaming and transcoding, especially multiple 4k files at the same time (please correct me if I am wrong)

2-I went for this case for the amount of HDDs it can handle

3-Cheapest not crap PSU I could find

4- ram were the same price as the non RGB variants, so why not

5-I don't think I need a better CPU cooler

Also note that I will be using this server mainly as a media server (Plex/Jellyfin) and a file/data server. I will be testing some VM use cases and possibly other things as I delve more into this and discover what more I can do with it.

I wouldn't get the K cpu as overclocking usually isn't a thing for server usage. That also saves the cost of a cpu cooler as the non K come with a good enough cpu cooler.

Good idea. I'll do that. Thanks
