Building my first PC exclusively for Music Production but have no previous experience. List below is the components im proposing to use, can anyone with more knowledge than me (wouldnt be hard!!) advise if there would be any problems with this or whether this could be improved upon;
Case
Thermaltake Element S (£64.35)
Motherboard
Asus P7P55 LX P55 Socket 1156 8 Channel Audio Out ATX Motherboard (£63.30)
CPU
Intel Core i5 750 2.66GHz Socket LGA1156 8MB L3 Cache Retail Boxed Processor (£149.38)
RAM
8GB Kit (4GBx2), 204-pin SODIMM, DDR3 PC3-10600 memory module, CL=9 , Unbuffered, NON-ECC, DDR3-1333, 1.5V, 512Meg x 64 (£104.86)
Power Supply
Can anyone recommend something compatible?
Hard drive
Again, can someone give me advice as im not too clued up on the pros/cons of whether to go for SSDs. My inention is probably to go for Western Digital Caviar Green WD20EARS 2TB (roughly £70) as I will need plenty of capacity. I see that some people have a separate HD for system data. Would this be beneficial for this proposed build?
Graphics card
Not being used for games etc.. would i be correct in assuming that i dont need a dedicated graphics card then?
Sound Card
ASUS Xonar Essence ST Sound card - 192 kHz - 24-bit (£124.00)
Monitor
Samsung SyncMaster 2333T - DVI-D LCD display - TFT - 23" Monitor (£130.00)
Operating System
Windows 7 (64bit version)
Mouse & Keyboard
I'm sure i'll be able to pick up something appropriate myself by checking online (wireless).
As im new to this can someone tell me any periphirals im missing ie fans etc
Thanks guys,
John
