Hi there,
I'm building a music production PC and looking for a motherboard that will be high performance in terms of music DAW and instrument VSTs, reliable and stable, and be as future proof as possible... I'm happy to spend anywhere between £100 - £200, if need be, but am aware that the upper end of that may be over kill.
I'm pretty set on an ASUS as a lot of studio PCs I see have them, and a few producer friends have them. I've narrowed my list of possibilities down to these:
. Asus Z87 K 1150
. Asus Z87-Pro
. Asus Z97-A S1150
. Asus Z97-PRO WI-FI
. Asus P9X79 2011
I've settled on these parts for the rest of the build:
CPU:
Intel Core i7-4770K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor
Memory:
Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Storage
Crucial 512GB M550 SATA 6GB/s 2.5" 7mm Solid State Drive
Additional Storage:
Seagate 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Hybrid Internal Hard Drive
Case & CPU Cooler bundle:
Cooler Master 690 III ATX Mid Tower Case
& Cooler Master Seidon 120V 86.2 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
Power Supply:
CoolerMaster 650W VS Series
Optical Drive:
Samsung SH-224DB/BEBE DVD/CD Writer
No gaming will be done, this will be used purely for music production... Thanks
