I'm looking to build a plex server on a $300 budget. Here is my current parts list: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/372n6
I would be using plex to stream content to my iPhone, Nexus 7, Chromecast, and Xbox. I don't think I would ever be doing more than one of those at a time though. I also don't think I would be streaming anything outside of my home network. Would the G3220 be able to handle the encoding? I would also be using this rig to store files and backup my Mac. I have a strict budget of $300 so please don't recommend a CPU that is much more expensive than this one.
