Hi everyone, I have never built a pc before so it has been an exhausting process to come up with the best solution for my needs. Therefore any recommendations or advices would be highly appreciated.
Ok so I need to build a new pc solely for using Ableton because my old one is no longer answering the cpu-intensive plugins. Rather than setting up a future-proof, aesthetic or next-gen build, I just need a system that will provide the best single-core and multi-thread performance so that I can work smoothly with various plugins. I am currently residing in Turkey and currency rates are awful here. That's why 600 dollars is the optimum range for me. Based on my online research, this is what I came up with:
CPU: Intel i7 - 4790k 4.0 ghz (might as well go for a used one)
MOBO: Asus h-81m plus 1600 mhz DDR3
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212x
RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury Black 8GB
PSU: Thermaltake 550W Bronze 80+
Case: Corsair Carbride 200R
I already have two old HDDs, a samsung evo 250 gb ssd and ATI Radeon hd4870 gpu. I really don't care about playing games so I thought integrated graphics would do the trick. I am aware that cpu is overkill when compared to the other units so if you have cheaper suggestions that will both financially comfort me and give a similar performance, that would be great. Thanks in advance and sorry for the long post. Cheers!
