Upgrade my PC vs Unraid

Hey guys quick question.  I have an Unraid server with an i5 4570k CPU in it.   I just bought an i5-8400, a Z370 MB and 16GB of DDR4 ram.   My main computer is the same except a i5-7600k Z270. 

 

I was planning on putting the newer 8400 into the unraid but started thinking I may not.  Is there a reason to use the 8400 with 6 processors in the Unraid?   or should i upgrade my computer and put the older i5-7600k into the unraid instead?

 

My main uses for Unraid is one Windows 10 VM to record 4 cameras onto an unassigned 3TB drive with Blue Iris, and Plex Media Server.
