I would like to build a server running FreeNas, run raid5, and have the capability to add drives to my server if I would like. Also if someone could shed light on what ZFS is and why i would use it?
Here is the part list I have so far

I am thinking about holding off on the RAID card until I actually need it for expansion.
The questions I have is, will these computer parts run with FreeNAS? And will I be able to add HD's later on with out reformatting?
Thanks for the help, i know i should prolly be asking these questions on the FreeNAS forums, but I have gotten excelent help on the hardware forums here at xbmc.
If anyone can shed any light id appreciate it. Thanks for your time guys.
