I'm building a PC for BI.
I have lucked out and got a B150 Gaming M3 1151 board for under $30 and an i5-7500 for $100 from CL.
I will get a 80+ power supply, a M.2 SATA SSD for Windows and BI, and a WD Purple HDD.
I'm planning to have around 6-7 cameras. Right now I only have one Dahua 4MP camera, but most likely, the next ones, will be 2MP Starlight cameras.
The question that I have is, how hard will have to work the CPU, to run all these cameras, do I need a big CPU cooler, or I would be fine, with a low profile Noctua L9i cooler.
I will install the mobo with the rest of the hardware, in the cabinet under the 65" 4k TV. I won't be using a case. I will use a fan for exhaust, that will be installed on the back of the cabinet. I already have a similar setup, on the other side of the cabinet.
