10 direct play streams? A potato could handle that. But you should be planning for a worst case scenario where all ten are transcoding. And I'm not sure the 7700 is up to the task. For comparison, before I added an Arc GPU my much newer i3-12100 could handle twelve 1080P transcodes (without tone mapping).
What you could do is pre-transcode all your media to the following parameters for maximum direct play compatibility.
Video - H264 main 8-bit SDR
Audio - Stereo AAC
Subs - Either burned in or external SRT
Container - MP4
Just about every device will support these parameters without needing to transcode.
