Would an i3-4150 and 6GBs of memory be enough for a simple Plex and media storage server? (alien.top)

I'm looking to create a Plex/media server so my family and I can stream our Blu-rays. It would also serve as a cloud of sorts. This is my first time making a server. A thorough search on the i3 has been made, but I remain unsure if an 8 yo processor will meet my needs.

At most, we would be streaming on one or two devices. Aside from that, the storage would just be a nifty way to keep my photos off of iCloud. I plan on making it redundant, but I need to get my hands on another 8TB drive.

That's more oompf than my Synology NAS, and it runs Plex just fine.
