I know nothing about building computers, so i'm looking for some guidance...
I'm specing up a computer to run a plex server (this is all it will do, nothing else). I would prefer it to run windows as I can at least trouble shoot that, but beyond that I don't really know what I am looking for. Idea is to minimise the cost as well as ongoing running cost, so want something that can handle the transcoding but isn't massive overkill, anyone got any good starting points?!
My second hand i3 4330.
I built a decent set up for £350 including a GTX 950 card and Samsung SSD. Had never built a PC before. Got it running OS X and W10. All good fun.
I imagine any i3 can handle what you are after.
I don't really know too much though.
