Building a High Power Low Power Draw home server. Opinions?

Solved by Jurrunio,
alternative is the i7-8700, hyperthreading gives better efficiency as well in tasks that can benefit from it (even if only partly). Stock cooler barely keeps the temperature in check so you might want something bigger, but not liquid coolers because they are either too expensive and overkill, or simply dont outperform the cheaper and more reliable air coolers at the same price range.
Z390 board and high frequency memory can stay, they don't affect power draw much if at all but do give performance boost in certain games.
