Build NAS/torrentbox with Gigabyte GA-E2100

[Mumoy]

I'm thinking of building a cheap nas/torrentbox, with one hdd, in a one to two-user household. I came across this apu-mb combo, GA-E2100N (http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4976&kw=E2100#sp). It's very inexpensive ($66 in my country) I just want to know if this can do the work I'm expecting of it (no streaming/dlna- i can play media on an rpi-kodi). It's dirt cheap, but I'm worried if it's gonna be as useful to me as a pile of dirt. I'm hoping to hear from people who already own it or have experienced using it in a setup. Tips and advice on alternatives are welcome, too. Thanks in advance!

What OS are you planning on using? If you want to use FreeNAS, you need 8GB.

Yes, I'm considering Freenas and will be putting on the GA-E2100N at least 8gb ram. I don't think it supports ECC memory though, so using the latest version of Freenas is another one of my concerns, tbh. Thanks for the tip!
