New server build

[ThunderKnife]

Hi,

Currently i'm using my very old computer as homeserver.
I have plex running on it including sonarr/radarr/prowlarr. Future use will also be home assistant.
However ever since installing sabnzbd it keeps crashing. Probably because it's to resource intensive.
This is my old build.
Intel i5-3450
8BGB of ram
128GB sata SSD as Boot
5 16TB seagate Exos X18

I'm currently looking for a new build but don't exactly know what I should get.
I have my eyes on a build I could buy for €1200(1400$) however don't know if it is worth it or maybe overkill.
ASUS X99-Dual (Intel X99 chipset, dual-socket LGA2011-3)
2× Intel Xeon E5-2695 v4 (18 cores / 36 threads per CPU)
Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Gaming OC 8GB
8× 32GB SK Hynix DDR4 ECC RDIMM 2400MHz
I'm going to use the same boot and HDD's.

Should I get the build or could I get something more worth the money.
I'm willing to spend around the price I already mentioned.

Thanks for the help.

Does power consumption matter? Amd I guess you are in the eu

Yes, i'm in the eu.

I decided to ditch the secondhand hardware and go for new.
I have a I5-14600K on the way with a MSI MAG Z790 Tomahawk Max WIFI and 32GB Crucial Pro CP2K16G56C46U5.
If you have any better idea's please share. The hardware hasn't left the wharehouse yet.

IMO I say go with what  you can afford / what your build requires. the new hardware is not a bad way to go

I might be a bit too late to be of much help

I personally would skip dedicated gpu unless you have specific tasks that would benefit from it.
I would also pick intel 12th gen over 13th or 14th because of their possible issues.

what you plan to use the server for can also help narrow down what hardware is best for you.
Just a storage server? plex server? ai workload?

As you mentioned I ditched the 14th gen and went newer. I got a Ultra 7 265k combined with MSI Pro Z890-P Wifi.(most 14th gen motherboards were unavailable and this new setup was almost the same price)
Same RAM as mentioned before. Since there is a lack of sata on the MB, I also got a LSI SAS 9300-16i in IT mode.
It al seems to be working as it should.
I did have to start all over again with Hexos. After importing my pool it recognized all apps however they didn't respond good. Apps won't stop or start on command.
A Intel X550-T2 is also on the way to make full use of my internet connection.

As for the use it will mostly be a media server with immich, plex, all the arr's.
When I move to my new place I will also try to setup home assistant.
