Hey Everyone,
I will be moving to a new house and so to a new studio as well. I've got everything covered (know what I need or will need) except for my PC.
I've had some trouble in the past when the studio was in my bedroom. The guitar pickups captured a lot of the PSU noise so I went to the point of buying an USB interface and having to record guitars (with overdrive or distortion) on my Laptop.
Anyway, I will be recording all kind of instruments except for drums; I will be mixing and also composing orchestral pieces so I will need 36GB of RAM.
I'm probably going to buy a case from Nanoxia...
Rant over. What build would you recommend me?
Here's an idea with some of the specs/hardware:
Case Nanoxia Deep Silence 1 Black Ultimate Low Noise PC Case
Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD4H LGA1150 ATX
Processor - 3.5GHz Intel 4th Gen Core i7 4770K or Intel i7 2600K
Memory - Crucial Ballistix Sport 32GB (4x8GB) 1600MHz CL9 DDR3 Memory Or 32gb G-Skill DDR3 1866mhz
CPU cooler - Scythe Mugen 4 High Performance CPU Cooler, SCMG-4000
Power supply - FSP Aurum 750W CM Quiet Modular PSU, 80+ Gold
First drive bay - OS/Apps
Second drive bay or external drive - Current Projects (Audio recordings and project files)
Third drive bay - Samples/Vst’s
FireWire - Lycom PE-107 Dual 800 and Single 400 Firewire Card
Video - I don't know. The only thing I do "video-wise" is using Sony Vegas so probably motherboard video.
BUDGET is unlimited as I don't mind having to wait and save for certain gear.
I also thought of getting a MacPro, the problem is the upfront payment...

Firewire can be a mess though.
