Probably the 13500T or 12500T is the best (if you can find them) due to lower power consumption and lower price.
The T consumes *approximately* 35 watts at the 2.5 GHz base clock (all-core guaranteed clock frequency) and 92 watts under all-core indefinite boost.
The regular 13500 is 65 and 154, respectively.
Depending on your power source that could be a $25-$100+/year difference.
The 12500 and 12500T are similar but you're sacrificing 8 efficiency cores for *slightly* better all-core boost power consumption.
If you only need 6 cores: 12500T.
If you need the 14 (6+8) try to find the 13500T.
(All 4 chips have identical HD770 specs and performance).
Have you considered the Dell Optiplex 7000 series? It's ~$400 but comes with the 12500T, 16gb RAM (generally) and SSDs from 250-512 GB.
They also work headlessly (meaning boot without monitors connected).

I already sourced a used b660m board so I am stuck in a diy build. Thanks for the recommendation of the T variants I'll check that out.

I guess the 12500 might be lower powered than this, but I think this would be great for transcoding. If Intel would support ECC RAM at a reasonable price I'd ditch my old server for this.
Both CPUs (i5-12500 and i5-13500) support ECC.

I didn't care for case though and would get something else if did again. GPU and CPU combo has been rock solid in games. Can build for around $1600.

This is a very good build. Any tweaks would be if you have extra money to burn. I'd definitely recommend this entire setup to someone who wants a great setup without overspending.

EDIT: Actually the Asus Pro WS W680-ACE is $330 now on Newegg so it's getting more tempting I guess.
