    Unraid as Gaming/Transcoding PC

    added info

    Hey so budget would be around 2k and only 1080p und below. 

    Does this even work? Like how will this behave? If I turn off my VM will everything still run at full power consumtion as unraid is running? Just thinking a bit also about power consumption. Or will the GPU idle, if there is no use for it. 

    Edit:
    Does it even make sense to move plex from the NAS to a VM? If not I would just build a normal Windows PC :)
    I mean the synology NAS does struggle sometimes.

    Hey 

    I am new to this stuff and recently found (was recommended) UnRaid. I was planning to build a Plex server (4-5 transcoding streams at once) and a separate Gaming tower. 

    Now the question is if I could just combine these two systems and let Windows run as a VM? 

    Are there major performance deficits. Or will my VM choke if Plex is transcoding too much? 

    Any help would be appreciated.
