Question Best route for storage and media player

About two months ago I got a new TV for the living room LG C6 Curved OLED 4K HDR Smart TV - 55" so now I need storage space to "collect" lossless music, HD TV shows and movies in Blu-ray, 3D, 4K etc., so I can play it on the TV and access/play the files on other TVs and PCs throughout the house. What the best way to accomplish this? Buy a lower model NAS like the QNAP TS-831X and build/buy a HTPC/NUC or just buy a more powerful NAS like the QNAP TVS-871-i3-4G and forget about the HTPC/NUC? Any other route? I will be running torrent, Sick Beard, and SABnzbd on the NAS. As for hard drive for the NAS I'm getting 3 hard drives for now and add more down the road. I'm thinking either the Seagate IronWolf ST10000VN0004 10TB 256MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive Bare Drive or the Seagate 8TB NAS HDD SATA 6Gb/s NCQ 256 MB Cache Bare Drive ST8000VN0002

The two NAS viewed side by side
