Will be used strictly for media storage as a NAS. Will be running everything to my NVIDIA Shield for use with Kodi.
Already have 4x 8TB WD Reds waiting to go inside.
Thinking about possibly adding an M.2 but it's probably not needed.
Overall thoughts?

Faster RAM, cheaper PSU, add SSD for OS.
I use essentially the same build for a NAS too, just with a cheaper ASRock motherboard and 4GB of RAM (I somehow only use 1GB of RAM idle... maybe it's because I'm using Linux?)

Thank you! Will be using that RAM for sure. Looks like PCPartPicker doesn't take into account the shell shocker deal, the SeaSonic is currently on sale for $64.99.
Interesting that you only use 1 GB. I think I'm going the OpenMediaVault which is also Linux but I haven't fully decided yet.
