I’m looking to upgrade my Plex and game server. I currently have an i5-4690K with 16 GB DDR3 and it’s struggling a lot. My PSU is a 850W gold rated EVGA from 2017 so I don’t think it needs upgraded quite yet since I’ve been way under the wattage for most of its life.

I was looking at something like a 13400 but I’m not sure if it’s the best choice or what to pair it with.

    CPU and RAM are consistently >90%. It’s mostly qbittorrent doing that by caching files I’m seeding.

    Game servers are mostly stable but Plex struggles if it’s transcoding (necessary due to video file types and who I’m streaming to).
