Plex Server - is it powerful enough

[andreweddy]

Hey Guys, bought some parts and just want some opinions if this will handle plex, i understand that it should manage 1080p transcode but could it manage 4k transcode as well, is hooked up to four bay nas over ethernet.

If anything, that PSU would burn it down.

So long as only one person is streaming from the server at a time then it should handle 1080 just fine. It's recommended that for a 1080p stream a passmark score of around 2k is ideal. If you wanted to go with more people streaming then I might suggest a more powerful processor like the FX-6300

ok cheers, can always chuck in a 860k at a later date i suppose
