It's A Digital Disease!

Hi all, I want to make a NAS for home environment will hold approx 12TB data (mostly 4k videos etc), possibility of few VMs.

Requirements -

6x Hard drives 1 x ssd for the OS (most likely TrueNas) 1G - 2.5G network interface mITX or mATX

Candidates-

1.) AsRock Rack C2750D4i (not sure if this is still good and powerful) - very hard to find DDR3 ram 16GB sticks these days.

2.) Any motherboard with 1700 LGA with i3. Will this have more power consumption compared to above?

3.) anything else?

The NAS needs to 24x7, transcoding plex media for single 4K stream is a want but not necessary.

Thanks for the help in advance :)
