Hi guys, new to the forum! I'm currently planning out a new build for a music production/gaming rig. I'm pretty into doing film scoring style stuff(hobby, not a job), so I will be using a lot of plug ins, effects, etc. I'm also an avid gamer. Here's the setup I'm looking at now(minus the little things->cd roms etc), any suggestions or comments?
Case-Coolermaster storm stryker atx full

CPU-Intel Core i7-3930K Sandy Bridge-E 3.2GHz, is this a little overkill maybe? I'm not looking to overclock, but I will be running some fairly intensive/multiple VST programs.

HDD for storage(I also have an external already I will be backing up onto as well)-WD AV-GP WD10EURX 1TB

Memory-Corsair dominator platinum 16gb 4x4 ddr3

Mobo-now I haven't found anything for a mobo quite yet. I'd like it to have a spdif port, and firewire, or at the minimum a separate firewire port included. And plenty of USB ports obviously. Any recommendations? I don't plan on doing any overclocking, I'd also like to keep the price under $350.
Sound card-Planning on using an external audio interface
It's going to be a chunk of change, but I'm looking to not have to upgrade significantly for some time like my previous build.
Thanks!
