In another thread I already got some great feedback for my new to build DAW PC.
(http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-1710027/feedback-build.html)
I realised I forget one question:
I know the i7 4770k has enough power to utilise 2 monitors. Initially I intend to work with a 27 inch monitor but in the future I might consider getting a smaller 20 inch monitor on the side. Will it be wise to add an extra fanless GPU to my build? I already have 16 GB RAM in store.
The drawback from my perspective is that it will increase the amount of IRQ lines and thus draw priority from audio processes and increase DPC latency but some say a dedicated GPU will free up resources from your CPU and is considered the better option. Also most DAW builders seem to put an extra GPU in the build so I'm in doubt here.
Any thoughts on both scenarios (1 monitor vs 2 monitors) would be appreciated.
