What about the core i3-8100 with ECC and IGP? The real problem with building a NAS out of these low-end parts is finding the motherboard where ECC actually works. For Ryzen it's roulette, you just have to order one and see if ECC works at all; for Intel you can count on a few vendors but the motherboards cost twice as much as the CPUs and/or have inconvenient shapes.

The point was to use one of these great AMD parts... Motherboard support doesn't seem to be a problem, Asrock lists all their range as supported and has everything you might need. The actual annoying part about motherboards is that some older stuff is technically compatible but you need an old CPU to upgrade the BIOS before you can install one of the newer ones.
