Help with Best Configuration/Setup for NAS/Plex/Gaming VM

Been slowly getting parts for my NAS/Plex/Gaming VM. I have never setup unRAID server before. See parts list below:

 

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WDf8Bj

+LSI 9300-16i 16-port SAS card

+Asus BW-16D1HT - need to flash to libre mode

May get a gpu for the gaming VM (if I do will do igpu passthrough for Plex)

 

My thoughts so far:

-20tb x 2 = parity and storage for Plex media

-10tb x 3 = zfs setup (important docs and family pictures/videos - items that I cannot lose)

-2 nvme drives for parity cache

-1 nvme drive (could I use this directly for the gaming VM?

 

If I want to use the optical drive to backup my media do I need a separate VM? 

 

How should I allocate cores/threads and ram? 

 

Am I using the hardware in the best way? Should I set it up differently?
