computer for Surveillance

[Laser200]

I just bought the following computer for $450., from a MS certified seller. the seller is Canadacomputers.com


Fast Hexa 6 Core 2.80Ghz/3.20Ghz- Intel Xeons(i7-X5660-Westmere)- VT HT AES
HP Z800 Pro Workstation, - 6 Cores - 12 Threads , Turbo, AES VT HT 12MB -32/64 Bit
32.0GB ECC DDR3 Memory(Supports up to 192GB - 12 ram slots)
2.0TB SATA (2.0TB x 1) Hard Drives DVD-rom, Dual Gigabit Network/Ethernet Sound.
6 SATA ports, 8 SAS ports. 9 USB 2.0 ports. 6 PCI express slots.
1.0GB AMD HD Radeon PCI Express videocard (can display Dual Monitors)
Silver & black case. Includes: Keyboard & Mouse.
Windows 10 Pro 64 Bit COA/Installed

I received it and set it up and it it is quick as a hic-up. I plan to add a couple of more 2TB drives and create a raid to use. Any suggestions as to what further steps I might need to take? I plan to install Blue Iris.
Thanks in advance,

Do yourself a huge favor and return in...you were defrauded. That processor is 8 years old!! It is a huge power hog.
You could buy a third generation hp elitedesk i5-3570 based system for as little as 100 dollars. That system will be more powerful (particularly because it support hardware acceleration, but it is still faster without it)....for 450 your could buy a much more powerful modern system. Your system will use 3-4 times the power of a more modern system which will result in $100-200 a year more in power consumption costs.
Canadacomputers.com IS A RIPPOFF.
