hi, im in desperate need of a new computer and im seeking help for the build. this is my first build, so please fill me in if ive missed anything.
my budget is around $1000AUS, and the main use will be for music production.
i wont be playing games, so a motherboard with onboard graphics would do. it would also have to be able to handle multiple HDs well.
i already have a monitor and audio interface, so covered there.
this is what im thinking so far:
CPU
AMD Phenom 965
-i dont think i'll be overcloocking, so i figured the extra $20 for the 965 over the 955 would be worth it.
MOTHERBOARD
Gigabyte 785GT-UD3H
-will this suit my needs well?
RAM
4gb DDR3 1600 G-Skill Ripjaws
im after quick ram with low latency that runs well with the mother board ive chosen. any recommendations?
HDD
thinking a couple of caviar blacks for now?
PSU
Corsair HX650
CASE
Antec 300
OS
i guess i would have to go for a 64bit OS to take advantage of 4gb ram?
so thats where im at so far. any help and recommendations will be much appreciated.
thanks.
