I was walking around a local Walmart and saw these on an end cap. They had no price tag, so I scanned it with the Walmart app and they came out to $249.99. I picked up 2 and they still had 6 more on the shelf.

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

Icons will slowly start to disappear and things will hang. For instance if I try to right click something it'll just freeze like it's trying to open the menu. Eventually the explorer will essentially refresh it'll all disappear then load back in, I'll often get messages that explorer.exe is not responding. It just happens randomly like this and seemingly without cause.
unless you're getting random BSOD or complete system hang, hardware problem isn't as likely (not impossible, just not as high of chance).

The CPU usage doesn't ever spike at all, and I have barely installed anything at all. this was happening pretty much as soon as windows was installed. I thought maybe it was because windows was updating everything in the background and it would eventually smooth out but nope
Fortunately, you are reading your hard drive much more often than writing onto it
Optane going into the empty M.2 slot here
I have computers with NVME drives and with Optane chips. I know what both can do.
Do you know if this would work with this pc specifically?
