I use an old Celeron with Quicksync. I've personally hit 22 1080p at once. I don't transcode 4k so couldn't give you an estimate there.
It's amazing how many people don't realize this and frequently recommend adding GPUs for Plex. That's not needed and purely a waste of money. Even the Plex subreddit has hoards of individuals frequently recommending a GPU for Plex. Feel free... but it's a waste of money.
edit: Use Linux in this use case to avoid any headaches. I recommend Ubuntu

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank
there's software and hardware transcoding (usually means software = cpu; hardware = gpu). intel cpus (coffee lake and later, non -F skus) have integrated graphics with quicksync feature that is very capable of heavy duty transcoding. earlier gens have quicksync as well, but there was a big improvement starting with coffee lake, i believe.
there's always a bigger nerd who knows way more about this stuff than i do, so i welcome any corrections/additions.
i also got my mom a desktop with the same i3-10100. plenty sufficient and a good upgrade from her old 3rd gen i5.
this is great for every day use, htpc, plex server, office work, school work, garage/workshop pc, etc etc. and at $250, you're getting much more usable performance than laptops even remotely close to this price.

Makes me excited for when I finally build a new PC, when video cards are a little easier to get and a little cheaper.

Local Walmart had one in stock which happened to be a display unit. Picked up Ryzen 3 for $199 instead. Excluding monitor

Brickseek was incorrect. I found none.
One location had the display model only.
The other location had the price tag on the shelf, but even the display model was missing. Haha. Bust.

Based on this, there are 310, 400 and 500 Watt proprietary PSUs that could go in this if you can get a hold of one. I would like to do that and stick a GTX 970 in.
From looking around on the HP Parts website [hp.com] it looks like they want to sell the 180W PSU for $320.
