New JF Server Build

[KodiUser1138]

At what point in the generation cycles are you are max Q and beyond just becomes redundant power? Speaking CPU and GPU. Like a new 5090 would be utterly insane and pointless, so what's the current line of hitting the limit when mazing out but regular day-to-day will fly. As mentioned this would be almost exclusively a JF server and maintinaing the storage.

Case isn't a huge concern as there are plenty of options. Just becomes GPU dependant (and cooling since I want quite, not jet engines.

CPU I lean Intel because I have 2 AMD processors and hate them both. Sooooo many issues. I gues that could be generation related and they are both over 12 years old now but still, recency bias.

As I'd be mostly looking at older equipment it will come down to availability on the secondary market as well, so just looking for the optimal range. Admittedly I don't follow CPU generations super close so don't really correlate what gen AMD are similar to Intel.
