Hello Guys, first of all thanks in advance for all the help u could give me.
The thing is that I want to invest around 800 to 1000 USD in a computer for music recording, mixing and live tracking, I dont need it for Gaming or Video editing whatsoever... The only thing that I might need a fair video card for is to use a 32" TV as a monitor... but thats outside the budget, the 800-1000USD are just for the tower itself.
I was thinking going maybe for AMD processor to save some money and as far as I know (please correct me if I am wrong) AMD doesnt have any issues software or hardware related in the music application business...
I have plenty of experience with DAWs but I have never build a PC in my whole life, so this is going to be my first try and I wanna make the best out of it!
By the way, Everything I am about to say are just aumptions.. so pls let me know if I am completely wrong! 😉
I read somewhere that having more cores and Ghz helps while I make use os VSTs and the ASIO meter load. Also that the RAM helps to the way the DAW manage everything related to the Virtual Instruments too... So in my ignorance I would say a nice 8 core processor with 4.7 Ghz should work like a charm (I was looking at AMD FX-9590 processor), maybe I could learn and overclock it to make it even better huh? (does it really helps to OC in this application?)
As far as the other components I was thinking to get the most recommended to take out the best out of this processor, along with a 128gb or 256gg SSD with at least a 1TB HDD.
I already got my nice Focusrite Saffire Pro Audio interface with a LaCie PCI Card with a Texas Chipset, so, I would not need to get any other thing for that matter.
I would really appreciate any help you could give me, please keep in mind that is for a serious music production and mixing, I will be really glad to read your comments and thoughts on this matter!
Thanks a lot in advance!
