Questions about Windows Server 2016 and 2012 R2

Hey guys, hopefully this is the right section to post my question in. I'm looking at helping out a friend who is working on a server solution for his small business (about 25 employees). He is currently looking at a Dell PowerEdge T430 server, and I am trying to come up with an alternative that doesn't cost like $4000 USD. It seems that Windows Server 2016 charges by Cores and CALs? What are CALs? We're looking to install it onto bare-metal, meaning it's not running in a VM, windows server is going to be installed directly onto it. I was also looking at Windows Server 2012 R2 because it seems a lot cheaper and doesn't do stupid shit like charging per core. Is Windows Server 2012 R2 still a decent option?

I think his main goal is to have people log onto the server as a domain and share files off of it, and save his archives to it. This was going to be my recommended build:

Again, I'm trying to figure out about Windows Server 2016 vs 2012 R2 and what version of 2016 to get if he decides to go that route. For a raid card since I want to be running those two 6tb hitachi drives in raid 1, I figured something like this LSI card would suffice:

Any thoughts and suggestions? Really could use help with the OS side of things, I think that the hardware I selected is pretty good. I already have a HAF X case I'd just throw in for like $100, which will suffice for a case. Thanks for all your guys' thoughts and suggestions.

Edit: Just to explain why I am so desperately trying to help him get away from Dell, I took a screenshot of the hard drive selection for the customizing Dell Server. They want $163.17 USD per 1TB 7.2K RPM Sata Drive, which is not just ridiculous but it's highway robbery.
