/r/Plex's Build Help Thread - 2019-03-29

Hi there everyone,

I just got into plex I am using my server off of an athlon 2 x4 620/8gb ram/480gb ssd using a synology ds218j with 2x 4tb wd reds on google wifi (200 down/8 up). I can’t run more than one stream at a time or barely at 720p if it needs to transcode. Do I just need a new machine? If so, I do need it to be able to handle 4x 1080p streams and possibly 2x 4K streams but that would be rarely with a budget of 400 any tips would be greatly appreciated. Then if need I am running plex on 2 Sony TVs built in chrome cast 900f and 900e, an Xbox one (the original black) and an Xbox on s/Vizio chromecast (those are either or though).

Thank you again for any help
