How does this look for a plex server?

Post Body

Looking to see if anyone has recommendations on this build. Im looking for long term reliability on a server with mostly 1080p content. We have 8-10 people who connect to this server with usually no more than 4 streams, however I want overhead should everyone be connecting at once. Since the primary holder of the server isnt super tech savvy, Itll be running Windows 10 and the drive will be run using Windows Storage Spaces since it has served my needs very well over the years. Id love to shave some of the cost down, but I dont really want to give up much performance. I have since removed the GPU since I learned that Plex cant utilize it in tandem with the CPU.

Thanks!
