I got some advice on building a computer. I need a very good processor. I use Cubase 6 Artist and have an M-Audio FTP, which I might switch for a Tascam US-600. I use W7 Home Premium. I want a very good audio card to connect my home stereo. I've been using an internal sound card for my stereo and the M-Audio FTP for recording. I'm particularly interested to know if I have the right gear below. Please tell me what you think. The total cost has me around $1200.
Intel Core i7 2600K (3.40GHz - Sandy Bridge)
EVGA X58 SLI3 S1366 Motherboard
Kingston or Pioneer DDR3 8GB 1600MHz Dual RAM
Hitachi 2TB SATA 3.5" ATA/300 (7200rmp, 32mb)
Corsair CC 600T Box
Antec HGC-750 (750w) 80 Plus Bronze Power Supply
Windows 7 Home Premium OEM 64bit
D-Link DWA-552 N PCI
ASUS 24X Internal DVDRW (SATA)
nVidia GT220 (1GB) Video Card (from another PC)
Creative Titanium Fatality Pro Sound Blaster X-Fi Audio Card (has optical for connecting my receiver) or....
M-Audio Audiophile 192 (192kHz - 24bit)
Am I missing anything critical? Is there a better motherboard for about $150 for audio recording? Is there a better internal audio card for about $100 than the two I listed?
