Ok, here are some specs on a pc that should be here by Friday:
Intel i7 4790 @ 3.6ghz
16gb ddr3
2tb hdd
I also bought a WD Blue 1tb for my audio drive, along with an external case for my hdd's in the old pc so I can just transfer what I want/need to the new pc (as long as the old hdd's aren't fried that is)...
Total cost (including shipping) is just over $700...
I think this system should handle about anything I throw at it, what do you guys think???
Looks similar to the basics of my current setup.
Take to heart Tadpui's post about the i7 4790 running hot. The stock fan was not adequate in my experience. $30 for a Coolermaster EVO if your case will fit it. THIS worked wonders for me.
I hit thermal shutdown once during a session without the added fan on just a simple 60 or so track audio project. Nothing out of the ordinary on a recording only PC. 90 degrees plus with stress test on stock CPU fan. less than 60 with the EVO cooler.
