Synology NAS will not perform better than your i7 Dell PC. It is strange that you experience buffering with 1080p. This CPU can transcode 4k.
Streaming locally should have no buffering at all. Unless your TV or other streaming device do not support that video files and it needs to be converted.
You could rather install GPU card such as gtx1050 or similar for transcoding.
When you open Plex settings, make sure you have chosen option - make my CPU hurt. This should make full use of the CPU.
I hope this helps.
