Thing is, my server, which is still using an i5-4570 CPU, does not support hardware transcoding of HEVC 10-bit files.

Long story short, can a budget of 15k get me a Kaby Lake CPU and a matching motherboard that can handle up to 32GB of RAM (memory will be purchased separately)?

Recommendations please. I'm open to pre-used gear.

You could already get Coffee Lake with your budget
