Solution
Way overkill CPU with a mid-range graphics card, drop the CPU down to a mainstream socket 1150 i7 (if you plan to encode on the fly, an i5 if not) and up the graphics card to something like a 280X or GTX770.

Also buff up your storage performance, if they have a 2TB RAID0 option go for it. Recording 1080p footage is pretty disk intensive, one drive wont be able to keep up.
