CPU upgrade or add a GPU

[Fidel]

Hi, new to everything here and im just curious/want some advice. Basically I currently am running an i7 4770 with 16gb of DDR3 ram and it doesnt really work for transcoding. Specifically it struggles with DTS audio conversions, it can just about handle one on a good day and transcoding 4k doesnt work. So I was wondering if I should either upgrade the platform and CPU entirely (and if so any reccomendations 14th gen? Or core ultra?) Or I should just get an arc a380 and call it a day. I do run a minecraft server and a discord bot or two on the system as well.

Any responses are greatly appreciated, I kind of have no idea in regards to jellyfin as to what specs are good and bad.

If you're just interested in trans-coding performance an arc card is the way to go.
