I currently have a dedicated server from Hetzner I want to get rid of (specs are i7-8700 & 64GB RAM) so I want to build a NAS in a Fractal Design Node 804. The NAS will run Proxmox and will be virtualizing a few VMs. I have read that nowadays a QSV CPU is recommended over something like AMD + Quadro but ultimately just looking for the cheapest option. This is my build so far https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/VHZWt3 but it seems a little on the steep side.

The i7-8700 I use in my dedi is great considering it's 7 years old but it is showing its age so I'm just not sure what CPU to go for.

I don't even mind if its not a Fractal Design Node 804, its just that was the goto when I was looking at this a few years ago.
