Hello I am looking to purchase a PC specifically for audio production (fl studio, pro tools) but also for some gaming. (ESO, LoL, Cs:GO)I already have 2 monitors, keyboard, mouse and a scarlett 8i6 audio interface. I am upgrading from a 2011 MacBook pro which I am keeping a as a travel computer and to surf the Web. My price range is 600-800dollars and I am not experienced in building computers in the slightest. Any help would be greatly appreciated in finding a pre built computer or in gathering the parts and building a computer. Thanks for any help!
