Hey guys my Dell Dimension 3000 is retiring after 8 honorable years of service.
I will be doing no gaming but extensive music recording and producing. (Cubase 5, Reason, VST's) I'm going to buy everything within a week or so. Here's what Im thinking...
Specs
Processor: I7-2600k (own)
Case: NZXT Phantom (own)
Mobo: Asus P8Z68 V-Pro $195
RAM: CORSAIR Vengeance 32GB (4 x 8GB) $280
SSD: OCZ Agility 3 Series SSD 240GB $248
HD: WD Caviar Green 2 TB - 600 MBps $130
PS: Raidmax Hybrid 730 Watt $60
Burner: 2x ASUS DRW-24B1ST $50
Total: $965apx
Do you see any red flags or compatibility issues? Also, if I'm going to use 2 monitors (HDMI and VGA) i don't need a graphics card correct...unless i wanted take some load off the processor or overclock?
And besides the 32gb ram, am I overdoing anything or leaving anything out?
Thanx
