Those CPUs are very old.  You'd definitely need a GPU for transcoding.  Intel Arc GPUs are great for transcoding and cheap.

That's my only critique.

I wasn't thinking of that exact system, but basically similar architecture with newer CPUs.  Not cutting edge, but newer.



Which product line is better for transcoding?  The "Graphics for Desktops" performance gaming cards or the cards for "Professional Graphics"?  My guess would be the gaming version, but I've been wrong once or a trillion times, so I figured I should ask.
