[Almost] Dream Server Build

After a year or more of researching, I think I've narrowed down the build list for my server, and I'm looking for some feedback. It's not basic/cheap, but it's also not unlimited-budget either, as my main goals were reliability, stability, longevity, and some future-proof-ness, as well as performing well for what I intend to do with it. It will be running Unraid, and it will be used for Plex/Jellyfin, Immich, Time Machine backups, Home Assistant, Paperless, Unifi console, and more in the future. I'll add the disclaimer that I know it's overpowered, but I have a decent budget to work with and so I am going for the best within that budget. Here's the build:

  • Supermicro H13SAE-MF motherboard
  • Ryzen 7000/8000/9000 CPU (not set on specific model, whatever is on sale)
  • DDR5 ECC UDIMM
  • Seasonic or Corsair ATX Platinum-rated PSU
  • Intel Arc A310 or A380

I already have a LSI 9341-8i HBA, 2 x 8TB WD Red SATA drives and 6 x 8TB WD SAS enterprise drives, and the case to fit it all.

Any experience with or advice anyone has on this build or any particular part, would be happy to hear it.
