Comment on Home server advice

If power consumption and media server are your goals, an Intel CPU is what you want. Intel with quicksync is the most power efficient way to transcode video. Your GTX960 could do it, but will use more power, be limited to fewer codec types, and be limited to 2 streams.

All the other stuff is true, but on a Linux server unlocking an Nvidia GPU to bypass the artificial transcoding stream limitation is trivial.
