Advice for my new music production PC.
Posted: Mon Sep 17, 2012 11:30 am
Hi all,
After a lot of reading here's my first post.
I'd like some advice on my new build.
The motherboard of my current desktop died last week so I'm planning to build a new system.
The PC is mainly used for some (hobby) music production mainly with Ableton Live and some VST's.
Also some photo editing and electronics simulation.
My current setup uses an E8400 with stock intel cooler and a passive graphics card. When making music I never reached the limits of the CPU.
So I guess I don't need the most powerfull processor but I do like the system to be quiet.
Here a list of what I think is good for my needs:
CASE : Fractal Design Define R3
CPU : Intel Core i3 3225 3.30GHz with HD4000 graphics.
MB : Asus P8H77-M PRO iH77, SATA600 RAID, USB3.0
RAM : Corsair 2x4GB, DDR3, PC12800, CL9, XMS3, Rev. A
SSD : Samsung 128GB, 830 Series
HD : Western Digital Caviar Green 1TB
CPU Cooler : Scythe Mugen 3
PSU : Seasonic G Series 360W
What do you think about this configuration?
Thanks,
W.
