Budget UNRAID build

Hey, Im looking for a budget UNRAID build.

I want to use it for Plex (1080p x265/x264 and 4k in the future) and some Dockers (maybe a VM for testing).

 

What I have:

Drives

SSD (Can I use the same SSD as cache, my Plex library and other stuff?)

Controller: M1015 (flashed)

Case: Define XL2

PSU (Thinking about getting a new one or switching with my Desktop PSU)

 

CPUs + Boards

1055T

fx-8350

A6-3500

 

Some DDR3 sticks.

 

So, Im thinking about getting a new CPU+Board because the ones above are not really what I want to have running 24/7 (and the A6 is just too weak).

Im not really transcoding but it should still be able to handle 1-2 streams but the main goal for it is to be power efficient.

If I was able to use DDR3, that would be great ;)

Obviously new hardware is not using DDR3.

I have no problem buying something used.

Xeon E3 v3s look kinda nice, especially the L versions but they are super expensive.

Was just hoping for some combo suggestions with a passmark score around 6-10k.
