Could someone kind please sanity check my proposed build - intended use is TrueNAS/Jellyfin

I'm assuming that the CPU integrated graphics (Intel UHD Graphics 770) will be able to transcode H265 for Jellyfin.

I'll be using a Gigabyte Intel H610I DDR4 PCIe 4.0 mini-ITX motherboard not stocked by OcUK so that will sadly be sourced from elsewhere.

I've got 8GB of DDR4 Ram to use and an old M.2 256GB SSD plus 3 3TB HDDs that I will start off with and maybe upgrade over time.

My basket at OcUK:
Ram, SSD and HDDs will come from parts I already have.

Total: £491.87 (includes delivery: £11.98)​
 
TrueNas (ZFS) is heavy on memory and very light on CPUs. I’d focus spending on storage, memory and a board with 4 memory slots and at least 6 SATA ports. The CPU, power supply and PCIE speed is pretty irrelevant unless you need 50 gigabit+ networking.
Good points. It's for home use only so form factor is important hence the mini itx board.

Cost is also important. I already have 8gb of ddr4 so would like to use that.

Are there any ddr4 mini itx board with 6 sata slots natively?
