CPU & Mobo recommendation

Been running an i7-3820 w/40gig RAM for years, and today my server started shutting down, believe to to heat.  

Probably fixable, but I would like to take this opportunity to replace this aging hardware.

I run quite a few dockers, a couple of VMs (usually only one at a time due to 4 core CPU, would like to increase this), and have 1-2 plex streams including 1 transcoding.

Looking for recommendations on CPU/Mobo combo that is appropriate for Unraid:

8 core/16 threads, lots of PCIe slots (I have 2 sata cards running 8 drives each, plus a GPU), and 6 or more SATA ports for the rest of my drives.  Would like to go to 64gig RAM, so 4 x 16gig memory.

No specific budget, looking for good value and reliable hardware.

Thank you in advance!
