So I've finally worn out my current laptop. It's really beginning to prevent me from growing and furthering my skill set as I'm limited in what I can use on this system.
So the time has finally come to get myself a new rig. I have a budget of about $1000-$1500 and have been bouncing back and forth between getting a Mac or a PC. Initially I was interested in getting a Mac Mini to do my work but I've read some things that have turned me away. I just feel like I can get way more bang for my buck if I take the custom build PC approach. I have a nice '23 monitor so the iMac would be usless, and i'd really prefer a desktop computer this time so scratch the macbook idea. That pretty much leaves me with the Mac Pro and I simply cannot afford, nor do I have the skillset to need one of these machines right now.
I'm looking at running Reason, FL Studio, Maschine primarily, although I definitely want to have the option of being able to expand to more higher end DAW's in the future.
I'd really love if someone might be able to give me some guidance on this one. Recommend what I should build. What parts to get etc.
Thanks,
Christopher
