I'm looking to build my first PC, ever, as an alternative to using a Mac for audio production. Reason being my MacBook is too old to run new software and my budget doesn't allow for a Mac Pro.
I am mechanically adept enough (I can build a robot with discrete components), but must admit my ignorance when buying these parts. Could someone please advise?
*System requirements for software I'm running (copied and pasted) :
-Intel Core 2 Quad, or AMD Quad Core 2.66GHz or higher
16GB RAM or more
-Windows 7 or later (64-bit Windows/Host Sequencer)
-Sound card with ASIO drivers
-SSD (Solid State Drive) for sample streaming
All Systems
Update:
I forgot to mention I need this to run as quietly as possible, so a consideration when picking a case and a fan, I guess.
