LGA 1150 socket
I have an MSI Gaming 5 board that currently has a cheap 3250 pentium cpu, running win 8.1. I'm starting the process of rebuilding 3 of my machines.
This MSI/3250 system is currently being used for an IP camera security system. ATM, it has 3 IP cams with more to come. I'm using Blue Iris software. The CPU is maxed out most of the time.
There are a few 1150 socket CPUs around (in example, here).
But I'm wondering if this combo (MSI, i7 4790K/16GB RAM) will be up to the task. I do plan on getting a few more cameras (bringing the total to 5 or 6).
Will this be optimal for my usage, or should I reserve the board for another use and start fresh for the IP security cam system? If start fresh, recommendations on CPU/Motherboard/Ram?
I plan on staying with Win 8.1.
