I've been putting off building or even buying a pre-built machine for a few years now. It's time...
I put together an an Intel i-9 build on pcpartpicker, located here:
2021_intel i9
This machine will be used for audio production (Pro Tools) and photo editing, but no gaming whatsoever.
The two areas I'm unsure of are the GPU and the cooler.
The other area that has me a bit baffled is the MOBO: I want as many SATA ports(preferably 6) and PCIe slots as possible; the latter seem to have gone the way of the floppy...I don't need 2 x16s; would rather have 1 x16, 1 x8 and 3 x1.
Any other comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
