Looking for intel quad 16gb ram music production pc

Solution
I am not generally not a fan of IGP, as it uses system ram to function. Skylake isn't really worth the added cost either. Here is a different take, and cheaper one. Graphics card is only a 19w card and is passively cooled. I don't care much for OEM's, in general, but HP is among the worst quality systems, that I have come across.

You would get a better system, if you build your own. OEM's cut corners on quality, and they tend to fill their systems with bloatware, that you don't even need.
