Which processor for my cam setup and BI?

[blulegend]

I currently have 9 generic hikvision 4MP cams that I want to get set up on a BI computer instead/in addition to the NVR I currently have. If I want to change two of them to 8MP cams in the future, will an i5-7400 system be able to handle the current and future configurations? Thanks!

I'm also considering an i7-7700 system to future proof but if the i5-7400 is plenty then maybe that'll do.

Thank you!

Thanks! I saw that and that's how I clued in on those two processors. However, I wanted some real world reports of what kind of reserve to expect based on CPU usage as a guide.
