Hey there,
I am currently collecting parts for a new PC that will be primarily used for music production and maybe a little bit of gaming. I write heavier sort of stuff and use Cubase (will probably get 7 or 8 on this new PC) and use VST's for: amps, synths and drums. I was looking at an amd fx 8320 as it is half the price of I5/7's and i'm really trying to cut down on other components as i spent more than i thought i would for a GPU. But a friend of mine thinks the tech is a little out of date and i should opt for something newer as longevity is also a concern.
Doe's anyone think he is right and i should get something better- if so, any recommendations? Also accepting recommendations for RAM/ motherboards as from what i can tell they are all interrelated.
Thank you!
