So right up front I'm not a very knowledgeable computer guy but I have a friend that said he would give me a hand putting this together on his off days.
This will be strictly for music production. I run Logic and Ableton both with a lot of plug ins. I currently have this laptop
and it struggles with both programs. Slow load times and slow to load midi kits. Converting raw files to mp3 isn't too bad but I want something that's going to allow me to open multiple pieces of software(plugins) without any issues.
I'll need a lot of storage. I have a good 500gb of plugins and software so I'm thinking that a 1TB SSD would be a smart move...
So where do I start? Definitely don't want another laptop and the ability to run dual screens is a must. Not sure on matching up a motherboard and processor etc.
Budget is 1k but would love it if I could get all the parts for under 800. I'm not trying to cut corners but the more affordable the better.
Any help is appreciated.
