In your scenario I would get the i7 and use the HD4000. Then you can use Intel quick sync to help speed up the transcoding. You can always add a GT 1030 later on if you need more for editing video.so, if i am planning do doing a little video/gfx editing on it, but i plan on using it primarily for PLEX with the ability to transcode, Would it be better to up to the I7 since i have to spend money either way.
in other words: spend $150-$200 on the I7 CPU and use onboard HD4000, or get the 1050LP (~$150) and stick with the i5.
but i may only use the 1050 occasionally as i dont think PLEX can use the CUDA cores for transcoding
