You will want a download client - I prefer SABnzbd. You might want automators like sonarr, radarr. Someone will come along with a helpful start-to-finish guide for a complete automation setup. I set mine up so long ago I can’t recall what workflow I used.
Don’t sweat the RAM. The M series really are different than the intel forebears. You’ll be fine with all of your considered options.
