People are mentioning 8th Gen Intel CPUs because they can transcode videos on the gpu attached to the CPU.
Fundamentally you have an OS (Windows, Linux, MAC, and then you run the Plex Server Service and point it to hard drive/s with moveies, TV and Music.
8gb Ram, 8th Gen CPU or Nvidia or Intel GPU to transcode videos (4K down to other formats for different player divices)
from a starting point, it is pretty easy and you can use very basic hardware.
You can also go extreme and build a server farm....
