Based on your later posts -
I currently use a mid-2012 Mac Mini does perfectly fine. I do not really push it though, and most of my streaming is local.
I also use a NUC (one of these: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GX69JQP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ) and use it to stream remotely. Works very well. I just streamed a 1080p movie remotely over the weekend to a Firestick and it looked like we were at home. I don ;t think the machine broke a sweat.
I do have the Plex Pass, so HW transcodes are doable. Unfortunately I use my server also as my main client, so I do need video output. I've considered splitting off the two and just using the new HTPC as the server, but one reason I want to replace the Mini is because the client is even loading slow sometimes (a 9-year old 5400 rpm drive and a 2ghz core2duo will do that...), posters slow to come in, menu scrolling is not as smooth as I'd like, etc.
Would this 8i7 fit the bill perhaps? https://www.amazon.com/Intel-BOXNUC8i7BEH1-Canyon-Components-Other/dp/B07GX69JQP/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1540926247&sr=8-2&keywords=8th+generation+intel+nuc
For the Plex db alongside installs and software installs, would 128GB be enough for an ssd? Or 256 a better option? The Mini has the original 120GB HDD and I'm nowhere near full, So I'd think 128 is good. I've used Samsung evos in the past, could put a m.2 nvme drive in that NUC I linked.
I don't know, this one was bought from Amazon's Black Friday 2018

Is this the i7 version of it? Is the i7 version worth it? I don't mind spending an extra 100$ or around 500$-700$ total as long as it can be used as a normal desktop. For comparison, I have a 750ti and an i5-4670. As long as it is better than the current setup, I don't mind spending a bit more. Does it also support dual monitor?
Edit: woops, I replied before seeing your edit. So is the i7 not worth it for the price? Or do you mean that it is not a necessary upgraded if not needed?
Amazing listing: https://www.amazon.com/Intel-BOXNUC8i7BEH1-Canyon-Components-Other/dp/B07GX69JQP/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1540160019&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=nuc8i7beh&dpPl=1&dpID=31B3TRtWvbL&ref=plSrch
Bought mine from Newegg about a month ago.
