so im looking for opinions on what type of mobo, proceccor(AMD? or Intel? model? , ram, hard drive, pretty much the full works..... also not to sure how much firewire is still used these days but i have a live studio recording music interface that uses firewire and i no longer have a good machine to run it and i would like to be able to run it as well
i dont wana start a battle between anyone like ford or chevy lol but i would like to hear the pros and cons on all the hardware... i know i have read about the i5 being better for gaming over the i7 but hey im open to it all. just wana have one heck of a bad machine that ill never run into a lag issue lol so fire away if you could please..
