Personally, I wouldn't combine a gaming box with a Plex box, unless you will be the only person to ever use it. Even then I wouldn't do it.

To use Plex DVR, you need Plex Pass (they often have sales for $70 lifetime), an antenna, and a TV tuner (HDHomerun and Hauppauge devices seem to be the most well-supported).

Honestly whatever you get for a gaming pc will be able to handle plex. Just make sure you have enough hard drive room.

Other than the pc, you’ll need plex pass, and tuner like another poster said. I have the hd homerun and it works well.

Make sure you can hardwire your network connection also.

Either your gaming performance will take a substantial hit or your plex streaming will if you have them on the same PC using them at the same time
