Looks like a reasonable home server build. You have some choices in terms of OS, such as FreeNAS, one of the many Linux distros, some BSD variants, and Windows Home Server 2011. You could also go with a full-blown server OS (like MS Server 2012, but that gets expensive).

How many systems and type (i.e., PC, Mac, etc) do you intend to service with this server? What sorts of functions do you want the server to perform (i.e., file sharing, media server, backups, etc)?

At most 5 computers will be using this (but only 3 people) and I would like to store media (music, movies, etc.), run an occasional game server for no more than 5 people, and store backups.

Don't use BackTrack. That's a specialized distro for penetration testing.
