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.

Fyi Intel and AMD don't count TDP the same way.

In a sane world heat output = power consumption (yes not exactly but for our purposes it works) but Intel has a fudge factor to it's TDP number and AMD straight up doesn't count power or heat output in it's TDP formula and basically just makes it up (the formula includes such factors as "how hot should the part run ideally?"). They more or less agree in general but just because the 2 numbers are the same doesn't mean they are comparable.
