Hi everyone I'm new to all this so bear with me if I make mistakes. I'm currently running an Unraid server primarily running radarrr/sonarr/Plex etc usually the most it ever has to handle is 4 Plex streams and maybe some 'downloads' at the same time. Also will occasionally be used for transcoding using handbrake.

Currently I'm running an Intel i3-6100 which is a 2 core 4 thread cpu with a TDP of 51W. I live in the UK where electricity is exorbitant so I'm looking to upgrade to something more powerful while ideally not breaking the bank on electricity. Above I've listed the 4 main CPUs I've been considering and some of the relevant stats. Any advice/resources you can point me to are really needed. Thanks

Oh snap yea, sorry I focused on the 7700k vs 6700k when I viewed the sheet. For my money the 7700 wins out. Cheaper price, 65w vs 91w, benchmarks showing comparable performance. In any case I'm sure you'll be happy either way.

The caveat being if you even planned on tinkering with an overclock. But if you are power cost sensitive I think you probably aren't interested.
