I use my laptop(That overheats even with a cooling fan) to record music via a Behringer USB sound card, it doesn't seem to have any problems, but I'm sure a desktop would be better equipped to handle Fruity Loops. 5.1 is a plus. Two HDMI ports would be nice; I like to play Rocksmith: PC on my TV.
Why Are You Upgrading: I was accepted into the FFXIV: ARR Beta. I've been playing on my PS3 and now I would like to try the game on the PC. I'm looking for a build that won't so much as last as last me through FFXIV: ARR and possibly TSE: Online. Medium setting is fine, high is great, but price is more important. All in all, I'd like to get away with about 225 before shipping and tax. Don't be afraid to tell me that isn't going to happen, I'm new to this and if that's how it is that's how it is.
