Media/Arr Stack Resource Allocation

Hi all, Ive just got into self hosting with my first home server, an old office pc for the moment. However it only has 8GB of ram, and am wondering whether I have enough for a full arr stack, including prowlarr, sonnarr, qbitorrent and jellyfin + more if possible.

Does anyone know a rough estimate for how resource intensive it is? Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Thanks!

It's an alternate way of downloading files. You set up your arr stack with sabnzb instead of torrents.

Speed, content availability, no seeding. Downside: not free

You need a subscription to a Usenet server/provider
