I’m still runnign a 5820k although overclocked. I had thought about upgrading to a i7-6950X just for fun, they are cheap now but I woudl think almost any modern CPU is going to be better. A 7800X3D isn’t much more expensive then a second hand one anyway.
But do be aware that by building your NAS / homelab around x99 instead of OEM desktop Skylake, you are spending quite a lot of electricity to buy experience with high-port-count platforms.
X99 is good step up for anyone looking to make a step up from consumer hardware for building out the next level of Homelab/NAS/VM/Media server.
