I'm a recently joined member who's spent lots of time reading threads about cameras, nvr software and network considerations. As I am putting together my initial foray into this endeavor I'd like to run my current plan by others. I'm starting out with 5 dahua cameras from Empiretech - all 4 Megapixel. I have a 8 port PoE switch that should work well. The idea is to repurpose a "spare" desktop with these features:
-Intel i5-7600 cpu
Beyond replacing the cpu/system how should this fare? Enough processing power? Adequate memory? OK sticking with the onboard Intel 630 graphics, or retain an NVidia 750Ti gpu that exists in the system currently?
I plan on adding a Western Digital (purple) HDD, either 4 or 6 TB.
Any and all input will be welcomed! Thanks.

- Win 10 Pro on SSD
- 2nd NIC to segregate the cameras from the internet.
- Blue Iris software
