A PC should work well for that purpose, streaming music files is relatively low bandwidth compared to say, video files, so there shouldn't be any problem.

Typical NAS (network attached storage) setups have lower end CPU in them anyway, so your low end PC's processor would probably be comparable anyway.

It's really the storage that matters and how much you have, but again, MP3 files takes up vastly less space than video formats typically used for streaming.

If you get into storing MKV or other high end video formats, you'll need huge amounts of storage since those files can be 20+ GB each for your average Blu-ray quality movie.
