Server Upgrade Advice

Hello,

 

I have a server that is over 4 years old now.  Windows 2012 R2, AMD FX-8320 Eight-Core Processor 3.5 GHz, 16 GB RAM, 500 GB SSD.

 

I am running into some small problems streaming live TV, and what I've read is that the transcode process is not able to keep up.  

 

What would be some upgrades that I could do to this server?  New CPU?  New Motherboard/CPU? 

 

Adding a video card so I can take advantage of Hardware Acceleration?  Is that what I need to take advantage of hardware acceleration?  Which video cards are suggested?

 

Thank you.

That processor should be able to handle transcoding 6-7 streams simultaneously, so I wouldn't upgrade anything.  Attach the transcode logs for when you're watching TV and let's go from there.
