Well it doesn't have to be exactly a NUC, just in my country you could probably get a pretty decent one capable of transcoding 2nd hand for less than €300.
And the main thing is you're wasting half your compute capacity on your media server processes. There's no single upgrade you will be able to make to your current computer, under €400, that will have a bigger impact than putting the server on its own dedicated hardware.
Where do you think the parts go after an upgrade? And I can just pre transcode
If you don't care about transcoding, you could probably use a raspberry pi 4 or 5.
Fair point if you actually intend to move that workload to the remaining parts after an upgrade, but I can't stress enough, there's no point in trying to avoid putting the server workload on different hardware.
Your existing rig should be doing TF2 at 200+fps
No tf2 is performing good but it just waits like 7 seconds when I press a button sometimes it is way worse ,sometimes it is inexistent at max load with no containers no apps just tf2 and mango HUD about 360fps. But there are some big lag spikes like 10 seconds plus when launching it.
