CPU - Intel Core i5-7500 @ 3.4GHz (4 cores, 4 threads) Intel HD Graphics 630 RAM - 12 GB DDR4 Disk - 128 GB SSD

What do you think of these specs?

Would I be better off getting M.2 SSDs for the plex server?

Could these specs stream multiple high quality streams?

Are you planning on transcoding? If so you might want to add a decent GPU to deal with that as the CPU won't be most likely able to handle it alone. Otherwise it should be fine.

Yeah I think so, from what I can gather it is needed for what I want.

I don't really know what to look for in a gpu is there one you'd recommend? 🙏

Your cpu supports quick sync so I bet you are good without gpu. Try it yourself before buying one, you also drain less power
