Hi , as the title says I will mostly use it for DAW with occasional gaming think I'm gonna go with I7-11700K for it's integrated graphics. I am not located in U.S regardless I will be ordering the parts from Newegg using mail forwarding company as if I was there. I do not have particular brands in mind just trying to get right parameters. Please forgive my english and technological ignorance if you see it as one.
Anyway I picked a few parts using Newegg's pc building tool. Then I read a few reviews of those items (which overwhelmed me particularly the relationship between ram and motherboard). Afraid there might be an incompatibility or maybe something more appropriate than the ones I picked, so I'm all for suggestions.
Budget range: $1500 without shipping.
Optional parts: Monitor ( I have an old Asus monitor I'm willing to replace but not at the cost of losing power)
Overclocking: No
SLI or Crossfire: No
OS: No
Intel Core i7-11700K Rocket Lake 8-Core 3.6 GHz LGA 1200 125W BX8070811700K Desktop Processor Intel UHD Graphics 750
MSI Z590-A PRO LGA 1200 Intel Z590 SATA 6Gb/s ATX Intel Motherboard
G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Desktop Memory Model F4-3200C16D-32GVK
Fractal Design Meshify C White - TG FD-CA-MESH-C-WT-TGC White Steel / Tempered Glass ATX Mid Tower High-Airflow Compact Clear Tempered Glass Computer Case
CORSAIR RMx Series RM850x CP-9020180-NA 850W ATX12V / EPS12V 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Full Modular Power Supply
SAMSUNG 870 QVO Series 2.5" 2TB SATA III Samsung 4-bit MLC V-NAND Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-77Q2T0B/AM
Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML240L RGB Close-Loop CPU Liquid Cooler, 240mm Radiator, Dual Chamber RGB Pump, Dual MF120R RGB Fans, RGB Lighting for AMD Ryzen/Intel LGA1200/1151
ASUS TUF Gaming VG24VQ 24" Full HD 1920 x 1080 1ms MPRT 144Hz 2 x HDMI, DisplayPort AMD FreeSync Asus Eye Care with Ultra Low-Blue Light & Flicker-Free LED Height Adjustable Curved Gaming Monitor
MSI board is just a placeholder until some good recommendation. Reason for MSI is because I had been using one (X58 Pro) since 2010. It worked fine but it can't handle libraries I'm working with.
I'd prefer something that will serve me for some time with features expected these days. Not looking for aesthetics. Same with the rest functionality matters most. Price is also not set in stone, could buy cheaper by cutting some unnecesary stuff or add more than 1500, just a bit more if it will yield much drastic improvements over what I have in mind. In the end cpu and ram matters most.
Thank you!
