Hi guys,
I know this has been asked and discussed so many times, sorry about me asking again. I was reading many threads before posting my query and I found everyone has got his own criteria which might suit one but not others.
Its time to build a powerful pc solely dedicated to music production. I am a noob and have no idea where to start from.
What I came to know from many posts is that firstly a high end multi core processor (someone mention 8 cores - is there any higher?) is required. Secondly as much ram as one can afford. Thirdly SSD drive for fast performance. In my understanding these are the three major components for a music production pc after reading the post.
Now, am going to run one software which is Presonus Studio One but in future I will get Cubase 7.5 and ProTools. Apart from this, I have A LOT of Kontakt and non Kontakt libraries, mostly installed on a 1.5TB external drive. There are many other synths vsts which are really memory hog so I want a one time 64gb ram or at least 32gb that MUST be upgradable to 64gb. I am not going to play any game apart from auditioning some again for scoring purpose or sometimes watching movies may be. My music genre is cinematic orchestral +/- hybrid electronic so one can assume that I am going to run large templates and huge libraries. I will also run two to three screens but can settle on two.
I was advised once not to comprise on i7 4xxx and basically am after i7. Don't know about the cores as well as what is overclocking but fellow composers say its faster than AMD(???). Let me know if overclocking has benefits? So am also open to any other suggestions aside from i7.
Price is not an issue but no one ignores cheaper options. I will buy the monitors myself but will surely consider any advise.
Please advise.
Many thanks in advance.
ps: Am in UK. Please give me the reference of those who can do exports if located outside.

Joseph's specs seem powerful and top notch while BleedingEdgeTek's not only seem high end but also bang for the buck. I can't pick up who is best as both look best.
