Hello folks, this forum has helped me build my gaming PC recently and I am very happy with it. 

 

I'm putzin' around bored at work and I thought about maybe building something new to host my Blue Iris with about 13 cameras, some of them HD.

 

Please see above list for what I just cobbled together haphazardly but I'm surprised how much it costs and it isn't even all the components. lol

 

1. I needed Skylake to work with H.265 hardware acceleration capablity.
2. The guide I'm looking at states I don't need a dedicated GPU...
3. I already have a spare PS that's why it isn't on the list. Trying to shave off on cost.
4. I may have to change the storage. The SSD is not ideal for Blue Iris storage, I just realized it now. I just need big capacity for storing the recordings and maybe a small fast SSD just for operating system and a few apps.
5. no need for OS and monitor.
6. Hmmm.. can't think of anything at the moment.

Thoughts?

 

Thanks!

Sorry. Fixed.

Using older tech is not necessarily less expensive. 

 

Using RAID 1 improves reliability. A single drive failure will not interrupt recording.

Any i7 you can recommend?

I7-13700. But I suspect that it would be significant overkill for running a bunch of camera feeds.

That is true, the price too, didn't know it will add that much, what was I thinking. Only reason is because the i3 you recommended kinda similar to the specs of my current 6th Gen i7. I know there are other factors but maybe I can bump up the CPU a bit. i5?

An i3-13100 has single thread performance almost 50% higher than an i7-6700K. So it benches about 50% higher performance in most tasks.

 

An i5-13400 might be a reasonable compromise. About US$100 more than the i3 and about twice the performance.

Great, I think that's a better deal. The increased performance might be beneficial to higher resolution cameras. I seem to keep upgrading/adding cameras every year.
