To preempt any pro-Ryzen talk: the Intel platform will be worth it, if you run Windows as the host, just for the Intel SSD RAID 1 to boot from. If the main OS will be Linux, though, a Ryzen 2600 or 2700 with a B450 board will do the job, with a software MBR RAID 1 for boot.

I see 5 8TB drives. That's a red flag. RAID 10 is your friend. With all those things running on it, UnRAID will be slow as molasses whenever you have do anything that stresses your storage, almost as bad as RAID 5. RAID 6, or UnRAID, will be fine for basic file serving, but if you ever actually do anything with VMs, or have to go back through footage on your NVR, it will be so much slower than RAID 10.

750W is crazy overkill. A good 450W would be...still a bit high, TBH, but it's hard to find good ATX supplies under 500W, these days.

That CPU cooler is crazy expensive (if you want quiet, get a Freezer E34). So is that motherboard. The memory is OK, but for home/small office use, cheaper and slower RAM would be fine.

Fan noise should not be a problem. Put both included case fans on the intake side, adjust the fan curves a bit, and it'll be pretty darned quiet, if not practically inaudible.

You can save about $45 going to an i7-8700, though the clock speed reduction might actually matter for some uses, once the machine gets to be a few years old, so I didn't change it.

Then look on eBay for a used LSI MegaRAID card, preferably a 92xx, with a RAID firmware, support for 8 native drives, RAM onboard (or a DIMM slot), and a battery (lots out there right now under $75, some under $40), if running Windows for the host. If it doesn't come with the SFF-whatever to SATA cables, buy those, too. Boot Windows from the Intel RAID 1, then put your storage on the LSI. It might require legacy bootup. While you can flash from HBA (IT) to RAID (IR), technically, doing so is a royal PITA (I did it once, thinking it wouldn't be so hard...). Oh, and many non-server boards will not boot with a drive controller in the main PCIe 16x, or will not see it, so just use the 2nd one from the start.

Alternatively, if you want to stick to UnRAID, or go with software RAID in Linux, grab one of these, for +4 SATA ports: https://www.amazon.com/Ziyituod-Controller-Expansion-Profile-Non-Raid/dp/B07SZDK6CZ.

Highlights: 6 HDDs, for RAID 10, a cheaper quieter cooler, a cheaper motherboard that still supports RAID, cheaper RAM (with all 4 DIMM slots populated, getting 3000MHz slightly increases the chances they'll all run at 2666), a good quality PSU that isn't overkill, and right-sized motherboard.

That said, I think 32GB RAM would do the job, if running the NVR on metal, since you don't need much RAM per Linux VM. 64GB might be worth it if you plan to split each service up into its own VM for management purposes, though.
