Building a server advice

$

I'm sorry I'm sure this has been asked a million times but I've read so much I feel more lost than I was when I started.

I'm looking to have a plex server running 24/7 capable of streaming to 3 different family members simultaneously if needed at 1080p. I'm currently a lifetime plex member running a server off my iMac pointing to a wd cloud storage. 2 other family members each has a separate server running on their own iMacs pointing towards the same wd my cloud.

My thinking is I'd like to run one always on server with plex home so everyone can enjoy my plex pass features like trailers but separated by users and pins.

My original thinking was a NAS with PMS but I'm lost an which ones would be capable of providing transcoding to 3 devices at 1080p simultaneously, or maybe a simple Mac mini attached to my existing wd my cloud would be the answer. I'm pretty clueless when it comes to computers so an out of the box solution would be ideal, not afraid to spend a bit of extra cash if it means getting it right simply.

Any help would be appreciated
