April 24, 20188 yr Hello and welcome. The Core i3-530 should be fine for basic NAS and streaming so long as you don't plan to do a lot of transcoding. If you need transcoding then you might be able to transcode a single 1080p stream on that CPU - you can give it a try with an unRAID trial license. I also recommend at least 4GB of RAM though in theory you could run with 2GB.
