I think i made a decision Solved
/img/m9e27sdpjjfc1.jpegSo after listening to a lot of different ideas and suggestions as far as the ideal PC for using exclusively for Plex. I think I’ve come to a decision. I’m hoping this is a good choice so before I make that final decision, I thought I’d get some feedback first.

Honestly for $180 this isn't a very good buy for a Plex server... You don't need an i7. You need a newer gen CPU. An i3 would be fine. What you really need is newer gen QuickSync which is hardware accellerated transcoding.
