Upgrade options - cannot choose

Hello! First post, didn't know who to ask, then I though this forum might be a good option.

 

So I currently have 

Minecraft Bungee server running on a i5 2500 with 32GB of RAM and a 500GB HDD

Home server (backups and Plex running on an i5 3470 with 16GB RAM a 128GB SSD boot and 8TB (4 drives) of storage for media and backups 

 

I also have the following hardware

i7 3820 with an LGA2011 board

i5 4590 with an LGA1150 board

 

Questions is what is the sensible upgrade path here, do I go down the LGA2011 route, squeeze in all the RAM and drives and run it all of one unit, or maybe some VMs? or do I update the Home server to the i5 as the mobo has all SATA6, then the Minecraft server to the i5 the Home server was on?

 

Thanks for your opinions

 

BTW these are my options - there is no additional budget available.

I would compare witch of those has the better performance for your needs and stick with that one. And use all ram u have available, but if u're gonna spend money I would first see if upgrading to Intel 8/9 gen or ryzen 2/3 gen is a better idea.
