Hello Guys,
I apologize if this is not the right thread, tried to search for a "Builds discussion tab" but nothing came up.
Anyhow, I'm trying to build a cheap as possible PC that would allow me to do the work that I need.
Run Cubase, ProTools and Sibelius 2019 with multiple instances of Kontakt Instruments, these are DAWs (Digital Audio Workstations) that are heavy on CPU and RAM.
I was thinking on something along the lines of a 6-8 core with 16gb of RAM in one stick (to later expand to 64gb) with some SSD (250 to 500gb).
Budget:
700ish EUR (currently in Portugal, so consider no imports)
Considerations:
1x16GB RAM Stick to later upgrade to 4x16GB Sticks
Possibly a decent Motherboard to later upgrade to Ryzen 3rd/4th Gen (If Ever).
Don't intend in making this a Gaming PC, ever, so no expensive GPU, if any.
No overclocking necessary, I reckon.
*The reason being is that these workloads tend to oscillate in requirement quite often and usually only necessary to perform at their best through a 5-10min period, as it is when playback a track. (my assumption might be wrong).
What I thought so far:
MB - B450M TITANIUM
CPU - AMD RYZEN 5 2600
COOLING - STOCK
SSD - SAMSUNG 970 EVO PLUS 250GB
GPU - RX550
RAM - CMK32GX4M2B3000C15W (CORSAIR 32GB C15W 3000MHZ
PSU - CORSAIR VS650
CASE - NZXT H500 (seem some good reviews on it, especially for the price and being a negative pressure).
