Before I go into the hardware I just want to say what I should use, I was always thinking of loading Windows 7 up and running Filezilla but what else should I use, I know Debian has a lot of server options but also what about this FreeNas stuff I always hear about. Pretty much I'm asking what your opinion is on the software side of this build. I will not be using Wired connections rather accessing the server wirelessly.
On to the hardware, like I said basic XBMC server stream, backing up stuff etc etc, I won't be sharing this server with anyone else unless my Mum and Sister get a sudden interest in running stuff off servers... yeah. So here's the hardware!:
CPU: A6 6400K FM2 http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00CPLGFM4/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE
MOBO: MSI FM2-A55M-E33 Basic chipset but like I said basic media streaming so Sata 2 ports and a basic chipset is all I need, and a HDMI port. It is also cheap. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B009LT4F3E/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE
RAM: XMS3 4GB 1333mhz (Will come from my main PC, upgrading my main PC with Kingston 8GB 1600mhz)
PSU: Corsair CX430 80+ Bronze
HDD: 1x WD Caviar Blue (1TB)... for now.
CASE: My main PC's Elite 430 (My main PC will go in a Fractal Design Define R4) Bought it for £30 back in 2012 http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cooler-Master-RC-430-KWN1-Elite-Window/dp/B003OEDJTI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1397695139&sr=8-1&keywords=Elite+430
WIFI CARD: More basic hardware yay! Just a random PCI-E wireless card. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Asus-PCE-N15-Wireless-adapter-connection/dp/B0053GR2YI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1397695038&sr=8-1&keywords=asus+pci+wireless+card
Thanks!
