Build?

So I want to build a new server, and this server would be totally separate from my storage, I already have a decent NAS setup going.


Right now I am using an R210 II with an E3 in it for plex but i hate when it starts to transcode because the small fans spin up and its obnoxious, plus i want to turn it into a light game host server.


The goal is to be able to do 3-4 streams as quiet and low power as possible, while being cheap (the dream i know!). I was wondering what kind of performance boost HW transcoding offers and if i keep HW transcoding in mind what kind of processor would you guys use?


So right now i am going to tinker with an G1840 with QSV turned on as a test to see where i can get. From there i may move to an i3 or i5 depending on the results. If this doesn't work or perform the way i want than Ryzen is my full blown nuclear option.


The real question though is could i go lower, like a j series CPU with a video card maybe or J series with QSV on?
