Motherboard/CPU/RAM advice

Hello all,

I have an old full-size ATX case that was once a gaming/general use computer. It had an Intel mobo and first generation I7-920 CPU. It has died. I would like to take this giant case that has lots of hard drive space and turn it into a NAS with TrueNAS. I'm planning to use it to hold all my VM disks. Wondering if anyone has done similar and can suggest a decent mobo,cpu, etc for this purpose. Preferably something that won't break the bank.
