Depending on the codecs, resolution, and number of users, you could probably get by with just the i3-8100 for transcoding. I have a less powerful Intel J4205 and can transcode 5-6 1080p HEVC streams.
But, if you intend to re-compress whatever media you have/will have to save space, maybe keep the 1050? The 10 series supports encoding in HEVC 10-bit. I still use my old GTX 1070 in a secondary PC for re-encoding the blurays and DVDs I rip. The HEVC encoder in my much newer RX 6800 is not as good.....
But, if you have a Nvidia GPU in your main PC, and don't mind tying up your PC to re-encode (if you intend to do that), again you could easily just use the i3-8100.
How many users do you intend to serve?
