    Hello, I currently am running Jellyfin on my gaming PC, I and most importantly my wife have really been enjoying it. She's given me the go ahead to purchase a PC to dedicate as a Jellyfin server

    I've been looking at various sources and a used PC from eBay and throwing in a low profile ARC 310 GPU seems like it would be a good fit for me. The used Pc I am looking at is a Dell OptiPlex 5070 SFF i7-8700 32GB RAM 512G SSD+4TB HDD Win10

    My primary workload for this would be to have a Jellyfin server up with up to 5 different people streaming at once. Is this feasible with the PC and GPU selected? To add more storage, is an external HHD connected via USB going to be quick enough?

    PC:https://www.ebay.com/itm/226592207839?itmmeta=01JKSFQ6W473B58MD64HNGYYMZ&hash=item34c1f2b3df:g:pzoAAOSwsEZnqowj
    GPU:https://www.amazon.com/ASRock-Profile-A310-LP-4G/dp/B0CJGP8WJJ?th=1

    Would love any thoughts or suggestions

    I am by no means the most experienced, but I have had a lot of luck with the HP Slim S01-pF2033w I purchased off eBay for $200 after tax and shipping. I do not have a dGPU in it because I only have 1-2 streams with maybe 1 with transcoding. The iGPU of the 12100 is plenty for me. It's quiet and I got an HBA card for future expansions.

    Storage: 1TB Kingston SSD [SATA] in stripe (I'm on a tight budget)
