I'll say it again and again, 7th Gen Intel because the Quicksync does 10bit HEVC decode and encode on the hardware. If you can get better for cheaper sure but i5 7500 or i7 7700 work great. I run that with several hard disks using unRAID and then load Plex Media server as a docker container. Power draw on a setup like that is way less than what you're looking at, op.
