Go with the newer CPU. You want Intel Quick Sync if you're wanting to transcode. You should be able to do a couple of 1080p transcodes. The latest Quick Sync in the current i3 chips will do 10bit 4k transcodes with ease.
If you're not planning to do RAID, just shove the drives into your current computer and create some shares instead of having a dedicated machine.
