Thank you for your responses to my questions and the feedback. I'll consider getting 32GB RAM if/when I decide to build out a dedicated machine.
I did look into the i3-12100 previously vs the i3-14100, but it was only $10-$15 cheaper at the time. Looks like that might still be the case too. So I kinda decided to just go with the latest gen based on that. I think the i3-14100 can still use DDR4 RAM too if I wanted to go that route. I'll have to price out DDR4 vs DDR5 and see if its a large enough difference to warrant making a change there. I'm not really too familiar with the performance differences between the two.
One other thing I meant to ask to anyone that may know of a solution. If I locate this new built server at my family's in a different state, I will still be ripping media in my location. Are there any trustworthy/safe file consumer file transfer programs that can handle 4K remux file sizes that I could use to transfer them from my Windows PC being used to rip them in one location to the Linux server in another? I found a few websites but I've never used any, so was hoping for some firsthand experiences.
