3200g or 3400g with a deskmini ?

So, today  I finally reached the boiling point for my setup, I currently have my own main desktop for work, games and media server using a 3600x with 32gb of ram and a dedicated 2tb HDD for all my movies and shows. I have managed tgo get by as on my house we only use it for 1080p movies and I use handbrake to transcode everything to the best possible format so a full movie goes to 5GB or less with subtitles.

 

However I need to start adding more drives on my rig for work related stuff and I cannot use the sever anymore on it as my workloads on the VM's are eating all the cpu.

 

So I am about to pull the trigger on the deskmini a300w, which has a wifi AC antenna ( my current setup uses an intel wifi ac with a ac router, no issues whatsoever with 2 or 3 streams in house and an stream outside the network). get a m2 256gb ssd for both windows and emby, a 2tb hybrid drive for movies and shows and a spare 1tb 2.5 drive for keeping files before transcoding. 

 

My question is the cpu , I have about 3 options, 2400g, 3200g, or 3400g. However I have no idea if a 3200g would be capable of sustaining 3 to 4 streams at the same time.  What metric can I use to know how many streams can a cpu do?

 

the device will run windows 10 so it can run most of my scripts to automate transcoding of files and all of that.

Why g and not x?

I have an old 1600x lying around, but I wnat the small form factor of the deskmini and my budget is not big, any itx board for a 1600x alongside the sfx psu pushes me out of just getting a 2400g ,3200g or 3400g
