I didn’t add that info as it’s not really of value. Too little information. Each stream can vary massively. 5-10 light load streams I have seen in test. The iGPU really helps with transcode loads.
In Canada you can get a 8100 used for about 110$ a systemboard for about 70$ ram another 25$ it’s an excellent plex server, and when / if you out grow it (maybe plex adds hdr>sdr tone remapping for 4K and maybe it can’t be done without next gen GPU) you can always slot in a Quattro.

intel i3-8100 is the best value around. buy it used. quad core, excellent igpu, cheap systemsboards all over the place, 4-8GB of any RAM,
How many streams / transcodes did you get out of this?
