I just built a HTPC/NAS with the specs below and I'm wondering if my processor can handle playing Kodi and being a plex server at the same time.

 

It is the only source of entertainment in my living room (got rid of dish network after I built it), running Kodi (addons and nextpvr backend for live OTA tv). My plan was also to use it as a plex server as I build my media library (I don't believe Kodi has that kind of capability).

 

Plex clients that may be connecting to the server include Roku3, Roku stick, 3x Amazon kindles, ipad, ipod touch, 2x Samsung galaxy phones, playstation 3. There are 6 people in my family so that would be the theoretical max connections, but realistically I'd say probably 3 or 4 max connections at a time.

 

Would this cpu (and system) be able to handle it? 

Intel E3-1230, Supermicro X9SCL, Kingston 2x 8gb ddr3 1333 ecc, Intel 520 180gb ssd, Seagate 4x 3tb (2 Raid1 arrays), Hauppauge HVR-2250, Evga 650ti, Corsair CX430, LG blu-ray optical drive. 

 

Thanks for your replies
