FreeNas to unraid. Is my hardware good enough?

[Patrick_1989]

Hi team, 

 

I recently purchased a used mini ITX set up for NAS. I spent a few nights trying to setup FreeNas as that is what is currently Installed but seems overly complicated. The main purpose of for a Plex server and maybe torrent downloading

 

I'm thinking of switching to unraid as I have heard alot of good things and looks alot user friendly, but will my set up work well with it?

 

Current;

Core i3 3.4ghz CPU

P8H77-I MOBO

8GB RAM

4x 2TB Hard Drives, 5tb of that is redundancy.

 

I have purchased but not yet Installed;

Gen 3 i7 3.4ghz. (gen 3 is due to the motherboard).

16gb of ddr3 ram.

And looking at also buying a SSD tomorrow.

 

The system currently has FreeNAS 11.3 installed on a USB drive in the actual casing

 

I'm very new to all of this and any advise would be appreciated.
