So I would like to be able to have 2 local and 2 remote users.

Would be a max of 3 at a time. And more like 1 local and 1 remote.

 

Current Hardware

Cpu i3 4340

Ram 8gb

OS Windows 8

 

Would I be able to add a gpu. To get what I need and if so recommendations.

Or gpu and 16gb of ram. Or should I start thinking about building.

I must have my settings wrong because once two streams are active it starts having buffering issues.

well, what is the media type that's being transcoded.  if it's hevc then you'll need to upgrade.  if not, what is happening on your server? (pegged cpu, etc?)  what do the trancode logs tell you?

When transcoding one mpeg4 to h.264 the cpu hits 80%. Memory stays around 20% Im thinking a gpu would help. But im not 100% sure with what to go with.

If you're looking strictly for video and not gaming then the entry level Radeon RX 400/500 cards should do the trick. An RX 550 can be had for around $80 US and should be equally capable for video (not gaming) as its bigger brothers.

 

Check with others in the forum to make sure UVD and VCE are well supported for your platform.

Before you go shopping though have you checked to make sure your hardware is being detected for transcoding? What you have now should be able to handle h.264. Is it 1080 or 4k content?
