im building a home server.
Two Xeon E5 2650s / 16 cores 32 threads.
32GB ddr3 ECC RAM.
6TB HDD RAID 1.
500GB SSD for boot drive.
Onboard graphics.

Up until this point I figured my build was pretty solid. But then it occurred to me that I'm going to be recording HD motion detection.

Does that mean I need a GPU? Or does the CPU handle all of the recording? I figured it was CPU since everyone says it's a CPU hog, but why does the recommended specs say a nvidia gpu?
