They're cheap, you gain AV1 encoding support, and the quality per bit rate is marginally better than the RTX 2000 series. If you don't plan on hosting a butt load of services on your server, you could get away with a lower tier CPU.
The 12100 in my system has never been a bottleneck for my setup. Jellyfin, hosting SMB shares for my Windows PCs, Code-Server, Actual Budget, multiple Jellyfin test instances.
Another thing I'd change is the 8TB hard drive. You really should get a NAS rated hard drive. They have longer warranties and they are designed to be running 24/7.
The rest looks fine.
Well I wouldn't use this build for any encoding, transcoding would be pretty much all it might need to do I would think. The GPU in the build I do already have and I would think to try and use that for hardware transcoding. I'm planning on getting a beefier cpu for a separate build to try and use that for encoding in hopes of getting faster and better ones instead of using my nvdia GPU, would the intel arc still be better in that case? I'm looking at a i7-14700k and a 4070 gpu for that build.
