I would stick with a newish Intel consumer CPU since Intel's iGPUs are very capable for transcoding. Xeon CPUs do not have onboard graphics so you would need to get a dedicated GPU, if you decide to go that route.
AFAIK, no consumer board will have 9 SATA connections. You will need an HBA card to add more SATA connections (they are not expensive). Most full ATX, and even many M-ATX, boards will have two M.2 slots.
