I should start by saying I am a college student, so money is tight. I want to make a decent desktop that can handle a DAW (FL studio mainly) in the short term, and around Christmas time I would like to add a video card. I prefer Intel processors, but price is crucial. Can anyone recommend a basic build to start with?
