Here's my current setup
4; Amcrest IP8M-2496EB cameras
Tplink T1500g-10mps
Power Center - power cleaner
Asus Rt-Acr13 router
Blue Iris on $2000 primary work personal laptop hp omen.
At the moment using cat6 but planning on cat8 soon.

I need to get and NVR or inexpensive desktop type computer that I can use with BI instead of my primary pc.
My system is running on the maximum graphics fps bandwidth etc. How does one determine the the computer capacity needed for 1 12mp 60fps? I want something that I can upgrade and use for the next 5 to 10 years without breaking the bank anymore.

Here is the Pc I sorta have in mind refurbished on Amazon for $188

HP 8300 Elite Small Form Factor Desktop Computer, Intel Core i5-3470 3.2GHz Quad-Core, 8GB RAM, 500GB SATA, Windows 10 Pro 64-Bit, USB 3.0, Display Port (Certified Refurbished)

You will want an i7-6700 or above for that load of 4k cameras. about 400 dollars.
Cat8? cat6 is more than enough, you are wasting your time and money as you will see a zero percent increase.
60fps? really, those cameras cannot even run at 60fps. 15fps is overkill.

I appreciate your time Fenderman Thank you! 60fps as in cameras that will be economically available hopefully sooner than later... I don't want to limit myself too much too early for later upgrades. My Cat6 isn't shielded nor are my connectors; My inbound wire (100') is outside and not outdoor rated and is only 600Mhz. Amazon has 500' shielded 2000MHz 40gbps $500 shielded cat7a 1500MHz $255. Need more wire anyways why not upgrade?

2 of my 4mp amcrest cameras are averaging 30mbps bandwidth.

You will never need 60 fps...ever.
You don't need shielded cable.
You will see zero benefit by using the more expensive cable.
Improperly installing shielded cable will be worse than not using it.

Understood. Thank you. Is there an outdoor day/night camera you would steer me towards for my small home business?
