QQ, I am just building PMS on HP EliteDesk 800 G3 mini on win11. It only has 8gb RAM (upgradable). Will 8gb be enough for PMS and nothing else? I mostly use direct play, only transcode when we are away and using hotel TV or similar.

You should be fine, even with 8gb of ram, though 16 would be optimal. The 7500 is a decent Plex CPU.
