I want to build a Mini ITX PC for my home server, where do I start? (lemm.ee)

My budget is ~500 Euro.

I haven't built a PC in 10 years, I gave no idea where to start.

It will mostly be used to run Nextcloud, Minecraft Server and some future homelab projects.

I'm thinking of using this for the case https://www.the-diy-life.com/introducing-lab-rax-a-3d-printable-modular-10-rack-system

Where do I start? What CPU or motherboard would you recommend? I want it to be somewhat future proof and also act as a NAS

You didn't really giver any requirements, so I sketched one in PCPartPicker:

PCPartPicker Part List: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/zkvFqH

CPU: Intel Core i3-13100T 2.5 GHz Quad-Core OEM/Tray Processor Motherboard: Gigabyte H610I Mini ITX LGA1700 Motherboard Memory: Patriot Signature Line 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-4800 CL40 Memory Case: Jonsbo N2 Mini ITX Desktop Case Power Supply: SeaSonic SSP-300SFG 300 W 80+ Gold Certified SFX Power Supply

Total on those parts so far is $445.97 from Amazon; I usually buy parts used off ebay for less. The Jonsbo cases you can get from Aliexpress for probably half the cost of Amazon (though idk how much this has changed with the current market mess, even though you're not in the US).

I recently bought a Jonsbo N3 case, the next size up from that one, and I'm okay with it. It's a little weird, but there's nothing actually wrong with it.

I also didn't include drives. Again, used will be cheaper. I'd get at least one SSD for the OS and maybe a faster storage tier.
