Hi there folks!

So I am looking for a new triad to replalce my 8700k/h370/16gb ddr3.

Primary use - home audio recording, video and audio editing (I have an OK RTX 2080 that does the job fine) and office work.
Also a plex server with multiple 20TB drives, so 24/7 on.

I am seeing those Ryzen 7's have 65W which is half the intels, not bad! But is it a good buy?
I could also go the normal way and get an I7 14700, but that's 130W.

Budget wise, as you can see I like to keep my computers for a long time, so anything that will likely last is OK with me, minus any gaming specific stuff I will not use.

Thanks!
