The Node 304 is praised by everyone and I used one too. Was not happy
with HDD temps and switched to a Phanteks Enthoo 719 dual system case
where my NAS sits downstairs with an ITX board and SFX PSU. If you
want to use the Node 304, there is a front cover 3D printer mod that
improves air flow by a lot.

You say Toshiba 12TB but the product code is for Toshiba MG08 16TB. I
own 5x MG08 16TB and they are awesome. I would recommend Toshiba MG09
18TB though. Renewed drives is a big meh but seems to be a budget
decision. New drives are \~14€/TB so if there is no big price cut for
the renewed drives, buy new.

Your PSU is overkill. A NAS setup aims at very low power consumption.
I would recommend something like the Kolink Enclave 600W. Do not spend
additional money for a PSU over gold rating it's not worth it.

Hard to recommend MB + CPU because you said nothing about your budget
and use case. For PLEX, you want a newer Intel CPU with an build in
iGPU.
