Is 60W a lot? I think a system with a few mechanical hard drives and fans will be at least half of that regardless of the processor used. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

Kobo with calibre-web sync has been great. Calibre-web github.
Found this in my bookmarks. Can’t speak to the reliability since I haven’t had a reason to use it yet.
The lidarr way.
I don’t run it myself so most of my knowledge on the subject comes from videos like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HO_8liPirns
Since you’ve had it running already with a 960, I don’t think you’ll have any issues. And if you’re running the igpu for the host processes/transcodes with the dedicated gpu for gaming, that eliminates any possible issues from having to use a single gpu for everything. Also, I wonder if using the dedicated card for the vm avoids the issues that could pop up from running nvidia in linux.
One thing I forgot to mention, you’re going to need a new psu especially to power the higher class card. 500W might be enough for the lower tier and a much more power efficient processor but you’ll be trading some flexibility which isn’t worth it imho.
I would go with an intel cpu for the integrated gpu that can easily handle all the transcodes. 12th gen or greater i7 should be more than enough. GPU passthrough for gaming will be trickier. I’m guessing modern games at 1080p which will probably require something with >12gb for some light future-proofing. 6800/4070 class card would be my bet.
The Level1 forums are a great resource for just this kind of thing. https://forum.level1techs.com/c/hardware/build-a-pc/7
Do you mind including your budget in the OP? That would help others do their own calculations on electricity savings vs cost of hardware over time.
I’ve been monitoring this page https://gist.github.com/ironicbadger/5da9b321acbe6b6b53070437023b844d from https://yewtu.be/watch?v=ceUIUyZwchY
It’s showing some really interesting results for various processors and their efficiency while transcoding.
