Hi, I'm going to order this build online tomorrow and would appreciate a quick look over to make sure everythings okay please.

 

I'll be using this build to stream 720p video over wifi and maybe via ethernet whilst downloading using SAB, couch potato, torrent and sickbed.

 

My main concerns are if someone could please suggest a better motherboard because I'm not sure about the one I've picked. If possible, a decent wifi card too. I'm not sure if 4GB RAM is overkill or not and if I should get DDR2 or DDR3. Thanks.

Case: Fractal Define R3 (80)

Thank you very much for your time and consideration. If someone could recommend a better/cheaper motherboard which would do the same thing (I think the one I've chosen is overkill), it would be much appreciated.

if someone could reccomend me one from this page i will be very much obliged.

To my knowledge unraid does not support wireless cards.

 

Correct, wifi is not supported, your server must be connected to your network via Ethernet cable.

 

Also, I recommend against the motherboard you've chosen as it uses the Realtek 8111E NIC, which is iffy at best with unRAID.  I recommend following one of my prototype builds (link in my sig) and upgrading the CPU to a cheap dual core and the RAM to 4 or 8 GBs.
