Thanks for the suggestions. Looks don't mean anything to me since it will be underneath my desk so I'll go on reviews of airflow and price

Suggestions on a case for my audio workstation. 1. Has to fit the components below 2. Maximum £80 3. Quiet as possible 4. USB 3 on front PCPartPicker part list: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/HpRq8Y Price breakdown by merchant: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/HpRq8Y/by_merchant/ CPU: Intel...

That seems logical about the gpu. The cpu I'm going for should handle it

The case I'm looking at wasn't on the list so picked something close to it. Without a dedicated gpu I have heard there could be bottle necking with the processing? Don't know it that's true. I'll read up what's the more silent psu.

That seems like a great build and great video link. The software shouldn't need a tb of ssd but I'll look for a deal. The Samsung 500gb I've seen cheaper and the ram I may put up to 3200 mhz otherwise that's a great build and looks quiet

Thanks for clarifying the ryzen thing. I see a lot of people going for the 2700x for Audio production, I don't know why then. What would an equivalent Intel cpu be? Why is the sweet spot 3200? Would one ssd be enough for the core programmes like window and then keep audio files and others on...

The only reason for getting a higher end cpu was to make sure I have power for possible future upgrades and also audio uses fewer threads for some reason than video or gaming. The gpu isn't high priority as I'm not gaming or video editing as long as it doesn't bottle neck the system An component...

pit of help and suggestions from the community. Below is what I'm thinking for a pc desktop build for recording audio and mixing multiple channels. I have around a £1000. PCPartPicker part list: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/sqT4kd CPU: AMD - Ryzen 7 2700X 3.7 GHz 8-Core Processor (£294.99...
