Hey guys & girls. Just had a few simple questions in regards to the equipment ill be purchasing. This new build's priority will be focused on music production and light gaming if any.
This will be my first build so please bare with me and feel free to give me some advice if need be. First question will be overall performance for music production? Not running full studio, but a decent home studio with pleanty of vst's and digital recording (Cubase 6). Second question would be qualitly of equipment Im purchasing? Mobo, Ram, PSU, etc. Third question is about the PSU for running a low budget system. How much power would be suggested and if the one listed below any good? Thats it! Thanks.
I feel that the current build I have below will suit my needs by far and will upgrade in time when my wallet gets a bit fatter.
