I'm getting a new computer for the studio, and here is what it should be able to do/handle.
Computer will...
1. Have to run Pro Tools 8/9HD/10 without ever having a glitch, lag, or latency problem.
2. Need to record endless tracks (at least 75+) with multiple plugins/VSTs/effects running at once (I mean large VSTs, plugins, effects, etc..).
3. Need to be able to save and store several large audio files and projects without slowing down the computers performance.
4. Needs to be able to render audio at the highest available format without slowing down or crashing.
4. Need to be able to do all this ^ while also running programs in the background with ease
and once again NOT slowing down the computers performance.

Yes, that is a lot to expect, but I'm only doing this so you might understand what I'm looking for in the ballpark.

Below is a list of all the hardware I will be putting inside this computer system:
